Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Sunday, November 9, 11:34 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. It's been a rough stretch of games for Kamara, who has just 12 carries over his last two games and is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry since Week 5. His usage and productivity in the receiving game have dwindled, too. However, he has a chance to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should give him one more chance to produce as a low-end RB2 this week.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. remains the team's starter heading into Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka told members of the media. When asked about Tracy and Devin Singletary handling a roughly equal snap share last week, Kafka explained that snaps are allocated based on the flow of the game, and factors include players who are running well and whether a running back taps their helmet to come out of the game. He said that it's difficult to track running back snaps when a drive is moving quickly, and it's easier to monitor per quarter or per half. All of these comments seem to indicate that while Tracy will earn the start in Week 10, New York's backfield structure is dynamic. We could see Tracy lead the backfield in some weeks, Singletary in some weeks, and an even split from time to time. For now, Tracy remains the preferred Giants running back in fantasy football, ranking as a high-end RB3 against a solid Bears run defense.
