Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Zach Charbonnet

Sunday, October 1, 8:45 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned from his three-game suspension on Sunday to dominate backfield touches immediately. The veteran running back also dominated in target share (36.8%), hauling in 13 receptions for 33 yards in addition to carrying the ball 11 times for 51 yards. Seeing 24 touches was encouraging in his first game of the season even if he was not the most efficient with his work, and the veteran should be a mainstay in lineups going forward as a RB2.

Fantasy managers are still awaiting Zach Charbonnet's big breakout but in Week 3 the rookie running back gave us a taste of what is to come. The second-round pick had the most productive day of his young career against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, toting the ball nine times for 46 yards. The line was modest but it was underscored by his snap share which leaped to 44%, nearly matching Kenneth Walker III's 49% share. In Week 4, the Seahawks head to New York to face the Giants, who are giving up 101 rushing yards per game. Charbonnet's stock is rising but he still projects as an RB4 in Week 4, though he may benefit most if the game against the struggling Giants turns into a blowout. He can be started in deep league formats but should be treated as a bench stash in 10- and 12-team leagues.
