Should I Start Alvin Kamara?

Friday, October 16, 7:26 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara entered Week 5 dealing with a back issue that likely contributed to him receiving just five touches for six yards against the Vikings. With Kamara's involvement limited, fellow running back Kendre Miller handled the bulk of the workload, with CJ Donaldson also getting involved. Kamara has been limited in practice again this week and is officially questionable with a back injury for Week 6 against the Giants. It's a favorable matchup against a New York defense allowing 127.6 rushing yards per game, the 25th-most in the league. However, even if Kamara suits up, fantasy managers could be in for another frustrating outing if he splits carries with Miller once again. He ranks as RB31 in RotoBaller's rankings this week.
