Alvin Kamara

Week 9 vs. Chicago Bears

Say hello to your No. 1 running back for this week. Chicago may be allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game, but this is Alvin Kamara we’re talking about. A good chunk of the offense runs through him. He has three straight weeks with 100 total yards and there’s a good chance he does so again against Chicago.

Week 7 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Alvin Kamara is back as a top-notch fantasy option. The offense definitely runs through Kamara. He's been seeing about 25 touches per game since returning from suspension. He is on a short week and faces a good Jacksonville defense, but Kamara gets a lot of work and does plenty with that work to be a solid RB1 option, like in the old days.

Week 5 at New England Patriots

In his first game back from suspension, Alvin Kamara was, expectedly, heavily involved in the offense with 24 touches, including 13 receptions. Yet somehow, those 13 catches only produced 33 yards, which set a record for fewest yards on such a catch total. Still, 13 receptions in his first game back. Might be safe to say Kamara is back as the main guy in New Orleans' backfield. Those catches might come in handy again this week. The Patriots are currently a top-10 team against the run. However, Matthew Judon is out which takes a huge amount of air out of the Patriots' front. Kamara is nearly an RB1 again, especially if his receiving usage continues to be strong.
