Alvin Kamara Looks to Deliver a Big Week Against Giants

Saturday, October 4, 9:10 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara handled 19 touches for 72 scoreless yards against the Bills in Week 4. He has now gone three straight games without a touchdown, and with Kendre Miller breaking out for 65 yards and a score on 11 carries, Kamara may need to boost his efficiency to keep his workhorse role secure. His passing-game involvement has also been limited, with just 13 receptions on 15 targets through four weeks. In Week 5, he'll face a Giants defense that just allowed Omarion Hampton to rack up 165 total yards and a touchdown and is giving up a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry. Kamara ranks as an RB2 for that matchup.

Omarion Hampton is a Locked-in RB1 for Week 5

Friday, October 3, 6:11 PM

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton has firmly established himself as the Chargers' workhorse after his impressive performance against the New York Giants. Hampton handled the majority of snaps (89%) and rushed 12 times for 128 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown, while adding five catches for 37 yards. The Washington Commanders are stronger against the run than the pass, but they remain vulnerable on the road, allowing 131.5 rushing yards per game away from home. Although star tackle Joe Alt (ankle) is out, the expected return of veteran guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) adds interior stability. RotoBaller projects Hampton as RB7 for this week. Considering his workload, increased targets, and pass-catching skills, he is a solid RB1 and a must-start in all formats.
