Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Rachaad White

Friday, November 7, 4:06 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially listed as questionable headed into Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara was a limited participant in every day of practice this week, but he followed a similar pattern last week and was able to play in Week 9 against the Rams. The veteran back has been managing this ankle injury for five weeks now, but hasn't missed any games and should be ready to go in Week 10. However, the lingering ankle issue has likely contributed to his poor production this season, averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and scoring only one touchdown. Some of that can be attributed to New Orleans' poor offensive environment, but it's been a disappointing year regardless for the 30-year-old. Kamara profiles as an RB3/flex option for Week 10 against the Panthers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is in line to make another start versus the New England Patriots in Week 10. White came out strong once Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) went down in Week 4. However, White has been held in check over the last few weeks. In each of the last two games, White has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in both contests. The 26-year-old hasn't done much in the receiving game either, so he has been a dud in fantasy leagues over the last few weeks. It's unlikely going to get much better for White this weekend against the Pats who have done a tremendous job at stopping the run this season. Despite that, the Bucs are limited in terms of offensive weapons and will need to get White involved. The 26-year-old should be able to offer RB2 value in PPR formats this weekend.
