Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints

FanDuel Price: $9,000
Projected Points: 20.7

Only four players outscored Brees in Week 1, with one of those being his own running back, Alvin Kamara.

Rushing just eight times isn't the usual workload for the top-scoring running back in a given week, but Kamara added a whopping 9 receptions on 12 targets in the passing game. He turned that volume into a combined 141 yards and 3 touchdowns for a total of 38.6 FanDuel points, which bested any player not named Ryan Fitzpatrick and led all running backs in Week 1.

The rest of the Saints' running backs combined for a total of nine rushing yards on four carries, and stud wideout Michael Thomas was the only player on the team with more targets than Kamara.

So, what about Week 2? Well, like Brees, Kamara will be served a juicy matchup against the same Browns defense that gave up 192 total yards to James Conner last week. In fact, Kamara was the only running back to outscore Conner on FanDuel in the opening game of this season.

After seeing what Kamara did in Week 1, how can you fade him in an even better matchup?
