Outlook Efton Chism

Efton Chism vs NYJ — Expanded Role Offers Speculative Value

Chism has earned increased trust after making a dramatic game-winning touchdown catch against Buffalo. With Mack Hollins on injured reserve, head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Chism will see more opportunities. Though he remains behind A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas in the pecking order, Chism has capitalized on his playing time, totaling seven receptions for 99 yards over his past two contests.

Despite his recent heroics and climbing roster share, he carries a low fantasy floor this week. Our projection expects Chism to post around 2.6 fantasy points on two targets and 17 yards against the Jets in a projected low-scoring matchup. He is an intriguing stash in deep formats, but managers should keep him on the bench in standard leagues.

Outlook Alvin Kamara

Alvin Kamara at New York Giants — Expected to play through back issue in a tight road matchup

Kamara is listed as questionable with a back injury, but reports confirm he is expected to play against the Giants. With Travis Etienne on injured reserve, Kamara anchors the backfield workload ahead of Kendre Miller, giving him a dependable opportunity share despite dealing with limited practice reps.

Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 11 fantasy points, driven by about 8 to 9 carries and 3 to 4 receptions out of the backfield. While his fantasy start rate has dropped to 27% amidst health concerns, his pass-catching floor keeps him viable as a solid Flex option once officially active.
