Alvin Kamara vs Jawhar Jordan: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Alvin Kamara finished the 2025 season at 7.7 PPG over 11 games with the New Orleans Saints, while Jawhar Jordan clocked in at 6.6 across 4 appearances for the Houston Texans. A 1.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alvin Kamara ran for 471 yards and 1 touchdowns; Jawhar Jordan posted 193 and undefined. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Alvin Kamara is off Week 12 and Jawhar Jordan Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
