Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Alvin Kamara

Monday, October 20, 6:42 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen looked ageless in the team's 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, catching 11 of 14 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown. He now ranks 13th in the league in receiving yards and third in receptions, reminding everyone why he's Herbert's most trusted target. After three quieter weeks, Allen thrived in a negative game script as Herbert threw the ball 55 times. Week 8 brings a quick turnaround Thursday night and a tough test against a solid Minnesota Vikings secondary, especially for an aging 33-year-old wideout. Still, Allen's route running, target dominance, and connection with Herbert make him a safe WR2 with WR1 upside, even on short rest.

New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for just one yard in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. This marks his fifth straight game under 100 total yards, and he has not found the end zone since Week 1. Looking ahead to Week 8, Kamara faces a Buccaneers defense that just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to explode for 218 total yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. Over 14 career games against Tampa Bay, Kamara has totalled 626 rushing yards, 565 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Even with a low 3.6 yards per carry, his volume and history against the Buccaneers keep him in the low-end RB2 conversation for Week 8.
