AlvinKamara

News: 2 days agoKamara carried the ball 20 times for 115 yards and three touchdowns and caught two of three targets for 65 yards and a fourth touchdown in Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.

Spin: The veteran running back found the end zone on runs of five, 12 and seven yards in the rout, but his receiving score was his most impressive scamper, as he took a screen pass 57 yards to the house in the second quarter. Kamara has been a perfect match for new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme, and he's topped 100 scrimmage in both of his first two games to begin the season while racking up five total scores. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 3 home clash with the Eagles.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kamara had a career-low 694 rush yards on just 3.9 yards per carry last season, but he was still an effective receiver (75 receptions) despite being 29 years old, and he finished as RB11. He was able to hold off rookie Kendre Miller, who was often injured last season, but we expect Miller to make a bigger impact this season. The versatile Taysom Hill is also probably going to eat into Kamara's production, further clouding his outlook. Kamara was ninth in the league in red zone touches and should still be a go-to option, but the days of him being one of the first RBs off the board are over. He's now a low-end RB1, and the aforementioned TD vultures will be bothersome to his fantasy managers this season.
