Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Marvin Mims Jr.

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.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has served mostly behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin this season as the third receiver. Mims had his best game of the season in Week 4 against the Bengals, catching all six targets for 69 yards and rushing for a 16-yard touchdown. But he was unable to follow it up in Week 5 against Philadelphia, catching just two of five targets for 10 yards. The full-time role hasn't been there for Mims as head coach Sean Payton has rotated a lot of players at wide receiver. That leaves Mims as a tough player to trust in lineups for Week 6, where Denver will travel to London to face the Jets.
