Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Tony Pollard

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara injured his ankle during Wednesday's practice, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times. Head coach Kellen Moore said that the injury to Kamara is not a concern, for what it's worth. The veteran's back will be listed as day-to-day this week, and fantasy managers will want to pay attention to Thursday's injury report to confirm that he will be all good to go for Week 6. Kamara played a season low 53% of the snaps in Week 6 with the emergence of third-year back Kendre Miller. There's a possibility that the New Orleans backfield could be closer to a 50/50 split moving forward. Kamara will rank on the RB2/RB3 line if he can suit up on Sunday.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen a fairly heavy workload through the first four games of the season. Pollard has carried the ball 14 times or more every game, but he could see his workload decrease going forward. Fellow back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is currently questionable for the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Spears has been out all season long, but appears to be almost ready to go. Pollard will likely see less carries once Spears returns. Until then, Pollard figures to remain the workhorse back in Tennessee. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in three of his first four games of the season. The status of Spears could shift his value, but for now Pollard has flex appeal for Week 5.
