Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Kyle Pitts Sr.

Wednesday, October 22, 1:11 AM

New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for just one yard in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. This marks his fifth straight game under 100 total yards, and he has not found the end zone since Week 1. Looking ahead to Week 8, Kamara faces a Buccaneers defense that just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to explode for 218 total yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. Over 14 career games against Tampa Bay, Kamara has totalled 626 rushing yards, 565 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Even with a low 3.6 yards per carry, his volume and history against the Buccaneers keep him in the low-end RB2 conversation for Week 8.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. tied for the team lead in targets (10) and recorded the most catches (seven) in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, totaling 62 yards in the contest. It was a nice bounce-back performance after a 3-18-0 line in Week 6, and reestablished his place as the No. 3 pass-catcher in this offense with a 19.3 percent target share on the season, just slightly behind Bijan Robinson's 19.8 percent. The effort puts the 25-year-old on pace for 85 catches this season and 800-plus yards. Though Darnell Mooney was active for this game, he received only five targets and has been targeted more than Pitts only one time this season in the four games in which he's played. The 6-foot-6 tight end gets a matchup with Miami in Week 8, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to TEs thus far and is allowing opponents to score 29.3 points per game, fourth-most in the NFL.
