Studs
Points figure to be at a premium in this matchup. Not only are both of these teams strong defensively, but the Saints are down to their fourth-string quarterback. The total on this game has dropped to just 37.0 points, and the Dolphins are 3.5-point road favorites.
Alvin Kamara is the only true stud in this contest. He has historically been one of the best fantasy running backs in football, capable of dominating games as a runner and a pass-catcher. However, his role has changed a bit this season. He’s averaging a career-high 18.4 carries per game and a career-low 3.8 catches per game. Trading a few catches for a few additional carries is not ideal from a fantasy perspective, but Kamara still ranks fourth among running backs in PPR points per game this season.
