Alvin Kamara vs PIT — Receiving Upside Keeps Veteran in the Flex Conversation in Paris
Kamara continues to anchor New Orleans' backfield touch distribution with Travis Etienne Jr. on injured reserve. While sharing early-down work in a committee alongside Kendre Miller, the veteran remains the focal passing-down back for quarterback Tyler Shough. Fresh off a 31-yard touchdown reception against the Giants that vaulted him into the historic 5,000-rushing and 5,000-receiving-yard club, Kamara carries no injury designation heading into Paris.
Our weekly projections expect around 9 carries for 39 rushing yards alongside 3 to 4 targets for Kamara, totaling 10.3 fantasy points. As 3-point underdogs against Pittsburgh, game flow should favor his receiving chops. While rostered in 80% of leagues, a sliding 20% start rate reflects his reduced rushing floor. Treat him as a viable PPR flex option rather than an automatic fantasy starter.

Emanuel Wilson vs. Chiefs — Committee Role in Rainy Home Clash
With Zach Charbonnet back atop the depth chart and Jadarian Price on injured reserve, Emanuel Wilson shifts into a shared committee role alongside George Holani. Wilson handled heavy volume over his past three games—including 34 carries across his last two contests—though his efficiency dipped in a 14-carry, 52-yard performance against Denver.
Wilson's fantasy start rate has plummeted to 27% as his undisputed role recedes, yet he maintains viable flex utility. Our weekly projection forecasts him for approximately 69 rushing yards and 13.1 fantasy points on nearly 17 touches. In a rainy home matchup with Kansas City, treat him as a volume-dependent flex option.
