6 years agoNew Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will look to replicate his fantastic rookie season when the Saints take on the Buccaneers in Week 1. Kamara will be the focal point of the Saints running game with running back Mark Ingram suspended and has a fantastic matchup to start the season. He will go up against a Tampa Bay run defense that allowed the fifth most fantasy points to opposing runners in 2017. In two games against the division rival last season, Kamara rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries with 12 catches for 168 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy owners who selected Kamara should rest easy as Kamara is a sure-fire RB1 right out of the gate.--Joey C - RotoBaller
