Committee Role Caps Upside in High-Scoring Home Matchup Against Carolina
Kamara enters this week healthy while operating in a shared backfield, logging just six carries alongside modest receiving work in his latest outing. He remains listed behind Travis Etienne Jr. on the New Orleans depth chart, and with Etienne questionable after having his practice window opened to return from injured reserve, the backfield rotation could tighten even further.
Fantasy managers have steadily increased his start rate recently, though he still sits on benches in most leagues despite strong roster rates. Hosting a skidding Carolina team indoors in a matchup expected to be high scoring offers an inviting spot, yet our weekly projection lands at a modest 8.5 points on roughly seven carries and three catches, making him a risky flex play.

Limited Passing Role Caps Upside in Tough Home Matchup Against Seattle
Healthy for this home clash with Seattle, Washington remains in a shared backfield behind Ashton Jeanty. Although a big rushing workload briefly sparked waiver buzz, recent analysis highlighted his struggles against stacked boxes, and he has averaged just 2.6 yards per carry with zero targets across his last two outings.
With Las Vegas entering as sizable underdogs in a projected low-scoring contest against a winning Seahawks squad, a negative game script strongly favors Jeanty on passing downs. Fantasy managers have already cooled on Washington after his brief waiver surge, treating him strictly as a bench stash. Our weekly projection lands near 32 rushing yards and under five PPR points, making him a risky play best left out of starting lineups.
