Chandler Jones An Iffy Play
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones makes his fantasy living with sacking quarterbacks. The San Francisco 49ers allow 2.6 sacks per game over the last five weeks. Jones is a risky play because he's all-or-nothing, and he'll have to reach the quarterback to score many points. Treat him as a flex option.
Budda Baker Worth The Start
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker has emerged as one of the best defensive backs in fantasy of late with the fourth-most fantasy points the last five weeks. The San Francisco 49ers aren't a great matchup for him, but the volume figures to be there for him to land enough tackles as a DB1.
Kyler Murray A Risky Play
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray may be relegated to the fantasy bench this week against the beefy San Francisco 49ers Defense. The Niners have been the best defense against the quarterback position the last five weeks, and they have consistently tortured them all season. Opposing signal callers averaged just 157.2 passing yards per game over... Read More
Patrick Peterson Good To Go
Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson (calf) returned to practice fully Friday after he was limited by a calf injury the first part of the week. Peterson will be good to go for the Cardinals Defense against the San Francisco 49ers. Peterson isn't a great player to use in individual defensive player formats, but he fortifies... Read More
Jaguars Defense A Midrange Option
The Jacksonville Jaguars Defense has a decent draw against the Indianapolis Colts this week. The Colts have been sacked 2.8 times per game and allowed an interception and lost a fumble per game during the last five weeks. Conversely, the Jaguars have been a top-10 fantasy defense during the stretch. They're viewed the same again... Read More
Josh Lambo Has Some Sizzle
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo has tied for 10th in fantasy points among kickers the last four weeks by going a perfect 10-for-10. He'd be even better if he had more than four extra-point attempts, which he made three of. He could have a golden ticket this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts, who have surrendered... Read More
Seth DeValve Doubtful
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Seth DeValve (oblique) is doubtful for Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts. DeValve actually delivered four catches for 41 yards in a rare cameo appearance for Jaguars tight ends in their last game. No Jaguars tight end is worth consideration against the Indianapolis Colts.
Chris Conley Should Grab Some Pine
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has been a big-play threat, averaging 20 yards per reception this season. However, those opportunities don't come often against the Indianapolis Colts. They've allowed one touchdown to receivers in the last four games, and Conley doesn't get enough volume to contribute otherwise. Keep him on the bench this week... Read More
Dede Westbrook Could Sneak Into Lineups
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) is set to return in Week 11, but it'll be against a tough matchup. The Indianapolis Colts are one of the better teams against opposing wideouts, and they have allowed just one touchdown the last four games. Westbrook has just one of those on the season, but... Read More
D.J. Chark Worthy Of WR3 Consideration
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark follows up a disappointing showing with a severely tough matchup. The Indianapolis Colts have allowed 10.3 catches for 138 yards and just 0.3 touchdowns per game over the last four games to wide receivers. That solo touchdown is tied for best in the league during the stretch. Chark will... Read More
Leonard Fournette Facing Tough Matchup
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is having a career year, but there is one problem - he only has one touchdown. His 4.8 yards per carry and 40 receptions are career highs, and he's 209 rushing yards and seven receiving yards from matching those career highs. Things don't look very bright for him this... Read More
Nick Foles Has Daunting Task
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) returns to the saddle after suffering a Week 1 broken collarbone against a tough foe. The Indianapolis Colts are one of the better teams against the position the last five weeks with just 210.5 passing yards and 0.5 passing touchdowns allowed while picking off one pass per contest. Couple... Read More

Cory Littleton Has Big Day
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Cory Littleton had 14 tackles (nine solo) and recovered a fumble in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Littleton has 66 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries on the season. He'll be in the LB1 mix against the Chicago Bears next week.
Aaron Donald Has Solid Game
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had five tackles (three solo), a half-sack and a safety in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Donald is having a down year, but he has at least a half-sack in four straight games. He'll have a solid matchup against the Chicago Bears next week.
Rams Defense Has OK Day
The Los Angeles Rams Defense recorded three sacks and three fumble recoveries while allowing 17 points to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. They'll be a solid option in a good matchup against the Chicago Bears next week.
Gerald Everett Plays Well
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett had a game-high eight receptions for 68 yards on 12 targets in Week 10. It was a solid bounce-back game for him on a day the offense sputtered. He'll have a great matchup against the Chicago Bears next week and is worthy of a midrange TE1 play.
Robert Woods Produces
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught seven balls for a team-high 95 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was targeted 11 times, which was second on the team. Woods will have a tough draw against the Chicago Bears next week, but he'll be in flex consideration.
Cooper Kupp Shut Out
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was held without a catch in Week 10 for just the second time in his career. He was targeted four times in the severely disappointing game. Things don't get any easier as he faces the best team against receivers the last five weeks in the Chicago Bears next... Read More
Darrell Henderson Goes Nowhere
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson rushed four times for four yards in Week 10. He and Malcolm Brown split the carries behind Todd Gurley, and they'll likely continue to do so. Henderson and Brown aren't worth starting, but they both provide insurance for Gurley owners.
Malcolm Brown Does Little In Five Carries
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had five carries for 10 yards in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie Darrell Henderson shared the leftover work with him, and he had four carries for four yards. Brown and Henderson cancel each other out in fantasy, but both are quality insurance for Todd Gurley owners.
Todd Gurley Solid In Limited Work
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 12 times for 73 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and failed to make a reception on four targets Sunday. The lack of a touchdown kept his stat line suppressed as he has relied on TDs heavily to remain afloat in limited action. He will have a good... Read More
Jared Goff Has Miserable Day
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff went 22-for-41 for 243 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 17-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. He also fumbled three times, but he only lost one of them. The road doesn't get any easier next week as he faces the Chicago Bears in a tough matchup.... Read More
Budda Baker Stuffs Stat Sheet
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker had 10 tackles (nine solo), two passes defended and recovered a fumble in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's a legit DB1 right now and should remain in your lineups in individual defensive player leagues.
Chandler Jones Has Nice Day
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones had five tackles (four solo) and two sacks in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jones will have a tougher draw next week against the San Francisco 49ers, and he may not be a starting option.
Zane Gonzalez Has Solid Day
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez was 2-for-2 in field goals Sunday, and one of them was from 54 yards out. He also tacked on three extra points. Gonzalez will have a tougher matchup next week against the San Francisco 49ers, and he'll be a low-end PK1.
Andy Isabella Has Decent Day
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella had three catches for 78 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was sixth in targets in the game, but he had the second-best day. With his propensity for the big play the last two weeks, he may have emerged as the Cardinals' third... Read More
Christian Kirk Has Career Day
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk delivered six catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The yardage and touchdowns were both career highs. He doesn't have much time to savor it, though, as the San Francisco 49ers stand in the way next week with a tough matchup.... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Has Solid Day
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught eight balls for 71 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday. It was his best game in several weeks. That taste may turn sour with a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers next week. He might fall out of the starting lineup in that affair.
