Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Alvin Kamara

Saturday, September 6, 9:32 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique/calf) has been limited in training camp and did not play in the preseason. He was diagnosed with an oblique injury in August but was able to put in limited practices all week until returning to a full practice on Friday. Since he doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Hill should be ready for a full workload in Week 1. He's coming off a disappointing season last year, when he only had 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns. There was plenty of drama at the end of the season and offseason, but the team seems ready to put that behind them and play ball this season. The Colts' secondary should be a good matchup for him to start a potential bounce-back season against, and Hill is WR15 in the RotoBaller rankings. He profiles as a strong WR2 in standard leagues with a potential high ceiling if he breaks out for a big play or two.

It's no surprise that New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is locked in as the Saints' lead back ahead of Kendre Miller and rookie Devin Neal. Despite coaching changes, offensive line struggles, and shaky quarterback play, Kamara has averaged over 1,440 total yards and 10 touchdowns per season across eight years. The Saints' offense is likely to run through him, with Kamara handling the bulk of carries and seeing heavy involvement in the passing game. At 30, he enters the "dreaded" age for running backs, and it remains to be seen if his production as a pass-catcher will start to decline. With second-year QB Spencer Rattler under center, the offense as a whole is questionable, but Kamara profiles as a high-upside RB2 for Week 1 against the Cardinals.
