Alvin Kamara vs LV — Workload Split Keeps Him in the Flex Conversation

Kamara returned to action last week after recovering from a knee sprain, quickly resuming passing-down duties alongside Travis Etienne Jr. While he shared backfield touches with Etienne, seeing 43% of first-half snaps, his six targets reinforced his role in New Orleans' passing game. However, left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. is sidelined with an ankle injury, which could challenge rushing lanes against the Raiders.

Our projections slate Kamara for about 8 fantasy points on 8 rushing attempts and 2 to 3 targets. Given that he is rostered in 52% of leagues but started in just 3%, fantasy managers are still evaluating his split role. He settles in as a matchup-dependent flex play whose floor is upheld by reception upside in a home matchup where New Orleans is slightly favored.

Outlook Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston vs. Carolina: Explosive Rookie Seeks Third Straight Big Game

Boston has burst onto the scene in historic fashion, becoming just the fourth player in NFL history to record a 45-plus-yard touchdown catch in each of his first two career games. Starting on the outside alongside Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion Jr., the rookie has secured seven of 11 targets for 154 yards and two scores with Deshaun Watson under center.

Rostered in 73% of leagues but started in just 17%, Boston is rapidly gaining fantasy trust. Our models project him for 9.4 fantasy points, expecting roughly three catches for 44 yards on five targets against Carolina. While the 41.5 over/under implies a lower-scoring contest, his explosive big-play ability makes him a viable Flex option.
