Ashton Jeanty or Alvin Kamara: who should I start in Week 5?

Where the draft room stands

By format he goes standard: ADP 8; 2QB: ADP 26.

Our board does not carry Alvin Kamara at all right now: the consensus draft sample has dropped him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
