NFL 2018: Top 12 0.5 PPR NFL Fantasy Running Backs

#6 Alvin Kamara - New Orleans Saints - 2017 total = 279.9

Carolina Panthers v New Orleans Saints

Wow, just wow. What a rookie campaign it was for Kamara, who set the league alight with his stunning performances. The third-round pick out of Tennessee dominated in a split backfield alongside teammate Mark Ingram. This season, however, it has been rumoured that Kamara will be taking over lead back duties, meaning his total could be even higher. It has also just come to light that Ingram has been banned for 4 games for use of PEDs, so Kamara will be the bell cow back for the Saints during the first few weeks.

Now, I do expect some regression from Kamara. His 6.1 yards per carry last season was exceptional and I think he will struggle to hit those heights again. However, with more volume, Ingram's problems and Kamara's superb talent, I think he can match the yards and touchdown totals he achieved last year.
