Additionally, Travis Ettiene had himself a good week, which will likely prevent Tuten from pressuring him too much for carries for now. That said, it\u2019s likely that Tuten\u2019s recent ankle injury factored into his limited work in this game, and he is one of the better bench stashes currently in case his workload bounces back up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4%) Devin Neal, New Orleans Saints<\/strong> &#8211; Neal is a good guy to scoop right now if possible, as Alvin Kamara is currently dealing with knee problems.
