Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Matthew Golden

practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Terrell previously reported that the team plans to hold Kamara out of Wednesday practices for the time being as part of a maintenance plan for his ankle. The 30-year-old should be on track to play in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. Kamara has recorded 436 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 105 total touches through six games this season. He has not topped 80 scrimmage yards in a game since Week 2 and has not scored a touchdown since Week 1. Kamara profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option in Week 7, even in a favorable matchup on paper against the Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden led the team with 86 receiving yards in Week 6 against the Bengals and added 16 yards on a pair of rushes as well. The Packers seem to be focused on getting the first-round pick more involved in the offense, and the playmaker is starting to look more comfortable in the NFL in his last few games. Romeo Doubs continues to be a more reliable security blanket for Jordan Love, but Golden brings more deep play potential. How exactly Christian Watson (knee) will fit into the mix once he's ready to come off the PUP list is uncertain. Golden brings enough upside, though, to be a great waiver wire pickup if you need a WR3 or flex play this week against the Cardinals. He hasn't had his elusive "breakout" game yet, but it still seems like it could be just around the corner.
