5 years agoNew Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces a tough test against the Houston Texans on Monday night. The Saints Pro Bowler figures to be a key part of the offense, especially with Mark Ingram now off to Baltimore. However, the Texans were the third best run defense last year and allowed only 3.4 yards per carry. They may not be the same unit without pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney, but this will still likely be a game in which Kamara has to do a lot of damage through the air. Considering he caught 81 passes each of the last two years, that's certainly not an issue for him. Don't expect him to run all over the Texans, but he's a top-end RB1, especially in PPR leagues, and likely the top RB performer on the DFS slate Monday night.--Eric Samulski - RotoBaller
