Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints

Price: $6,100

As expected, Alvin Kamara played a big role for the New Orleans Saints in Week 6 with Adrian Peterson gone from the backfield.

Kamara played 42% of the Saints' offensive snaps -- his highest mark since Week 1 -- while notching a season-high 10 carries. That increased workload on the ground is huge for his fantasy value, because he has already been seeing plenty of work in the passing game, averaging 6.4 targets per outing.

He's leading the Saints backfield in fantasy efficiency by a pretty big margin, averaging 36.1 FanDuel points per 100 snaps. Even though Kamara is playing second-fiddle to Mark Ingram, that efficiency makes him very valuable.

The Saints also boast a strong 26.5-point implied total, and Kamara should have no trouble keeping up his efficiency against a Green Bay Packers defense that has allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing running backs.
