AutoDraft Pro AI

Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton struggled in pass coverage during a pivotal third-quarter sequence against the Los Angeles Chargers, missing a tackle on a 3rd-and-15 play to give up a crucial first down.

AutoDraft Pro AI

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed three times for 12 yards and brought in two targets for minus-6 yards in a 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Kamara dealt with a back issue during the practice week, which likely contributed to Kendre Miller outpacing him in touches. Given the workload split, Kamara may continue sharing touches with Miller while Travis Etienne remains on injured reserve ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Giants.
