Alvin Kamara, Saints:

The Rams put a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks, so look for Kamara to be used as an outlet receiver who should get at least 5 or 6 catches for about 50 yards to go along with another 70 yards rushing. If he adds a touchdown, he should finish with about 23 to 25 fantasy points.

Joe Mixon, Texans

Mixon had a bad game last week, and it felt like he had let his fantasy managers down. The good news is that he gets to play Jacksonville, who looks like they have given up on both sides of the ball. Look for Mixon to have about 80 yards rushing and another 25 yards receiving, plus a TD.

Kyren Williams, Rams

There may be no better play on the slate than Williams. The Saints have let up over 5 yards per carry, which should allow Williams to get 100 yards rushing and potentially multiple touchdowns.

Chase Brown, Bengals

Brown is getting terrific fantasy numbers based on the sheer opportunities that he’s getting now that Zach Moss is out. Look for this to continue even against the tough Pittsburgh defense. Brown should finish the game with at least 12 of the 14 fantasy points with a chance at 20 if he can find the end zone.

Bucky Irving, Bucs

Not only have the Panthers been a sieve to RB1, but they’ve also been extremely generous to RB2 as well. When the Buccaneers are winning, they tend to give the ball more to Irving,
