Andy Isabella May Surface
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella has yet to catch a pass this season, but he'll be thrust into action against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team will likely be without two of their top four receivers in Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring), and Isabella should see some targets. He's not worth starting unless...

KeeSean Johnson Worth The Flex Gamble
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has significant upside this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cardinals are likely without wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) this week, and Johnson will likely be the third option on offense behind running back David Johnson and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. KeeSean Johnson has done... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald To Be Leaned Upon
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is a boom-or-bust option this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cards are likely without two of their top four receivers in Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring), and Fitz will have receivers Keesean Johnson and Andy Isabella alongside him. The defense may not respect them and put... Read More
David Johnson Has Potential For Banner Week
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has struggled to find holes early on this season, but he has contributed in the receiving game and found the end zone. Johnson is ninth in fantasy points per game among running backs with at least three games played. Johnson should be used heavily against a porous Cincinnati Bengals... Read More
Kyler Murray A Good Streamer
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will square off with the struggling Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. Murray has produced a mixed bag the last couple of weeks, but he's 14th in the league in fantasy points per game this season. Murray will likely be without wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring), which... Read More
Rams Defense Quiet Against Seattle
The Los Angeles Rams Defense had just one sack and a fumble recovery while allowing 30 points to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. After two rough weeks in a row, they'll have a better matchup against the San Francisco 49ers next week. The Rams will be a low-end defensive option next week with a... Read More
Gerald Everett Leads The Way
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett had seven catches for a game-high 136 yards in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was targeted 11 times in the game. He now has 12 catches for 180 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks. He's not someone to count on week to week,... Read More
Tyler Higbee An Afterthought
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all three targets for 47 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, tight end Gerald Everett was targeted 11 times, catching seven balls for a game-high 136 yards. Higbee's prospects don't get any better next week against a tough San Francisco 49ers Defense.... Read More
Malcolm Brown Carries Just One Time
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had just one rush for three yards in the Week 5 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Brown has just 15 carries for 61 yards over the last four games and has a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers next week. He is just a handcuff to running... Read More
Rams Defense A Low-End Option
The Los Angeles Rams Defense is coming off a rough week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they might be in store for a rebound against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are a good team, but they are tied for seventh-most fantasy points allowed per week to defensive teams. They've allowed 12 sacks and lost... Read More
Gerald Everett Still A Factor
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett provided a spark with five grabs for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His eight targets were somewhat surprising since Tyler Higbee returned from a one-game absence due to injury. Everett could have some sneaky value at a cheap... Read More
Tyler Higbee Not Promising This Week
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee returned from a bruised lung to post four catches for 41 yards last week. They were solid numbers, but Higbee can't be counted on for consistent production like that devoid of touchdowns. Speaking of touchdowns, tight end Gerald Everett also posted five catches for 44 yards and reached... Read More
Malcolm Brown Not An Option
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has done very little since he vultured two touchdowns in Week 1. The team has used the pass heavily through four weeks. Even while monitoring starting running back Todd Gurley's touches, Brown has just 14 carries for 58 yards over the last three games. Brown is just a... Read More
Todd Gurley Ready For Resurgence?
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a midrange matchup against the divisional-rival Seattle Seahawks this week. Gurley really helped his season statistics last week with two touchdowns, but it's troublesome that he had five carries for 16 yards otherwise. The team has been cautious with his usage thus far, but this is an... Read More
Eric Weddle Busy In Week 4
Los Angeles Rams free safety Eric Weddle had 15 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Weddle has had six or seven total tackles in each of the three previous games, and he's a fringe starting option in individual defensive player formats.
Rams Defense Smoked In Week 4
The Los Angeles Rams Defense was lit up for 55 points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a surprise loss. The Rams garnered just two sacks and one interception in the clunker. The Seattle Seahawks present a solid matchup Thursday night, but the Rams aren't playing well enough on the other side of the ball... Read More
Gerald Everett Reaches Pay Dirt
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught five passes for 44 yards and a score in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was targeted eight times to tight end Tyler Higbee's seven targets. Everett being so involved in the offense despite Higbee's return to health is a good sign in the long... Read More
Tyler Higbee Has So-So Day
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee returned to the lineup to deliver four catches for 41 yards in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Higbee's value hinges mostly on touchdowns, and he only has one thus far. The Seattle Seahawks present a midrange matchup in the short week, but Higbee doesn't have enough... Read More
Malcolm Brown Does Very Little
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed five times for 14 yards in the Week 4 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown has done very little since his two-touchdown effort in Week 1. At this point, he's just a handcuff to running back Todd Gurley and shouldn't be considered for your lineups Thursday... Read More
Todd Gurley Scores Twice
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed just five times for 16 yards, but he was able to reach the end zone twice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught seven balls for 54 yards. While the rushing numbers are discouraging, he made the most of them with the two scores. He had... Read More
KeeSean Johnson Remains Invisible
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson had two catches for 19 yards in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. He has just nine catches for 90 yards on the season and has been targeted just nine times in the last three games. Johnson can't be played in any format, but he is worth holding onto... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Kept In Check
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald hauled in five passes for 47 yards in a mediocre performance against the Seattle Seahawks. He was targeted five times in the game as the offense really sputtered. He'll have a midrange matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week. Fitz is a low-end WR2 in point-per-reception formats and a... Read More
David Johnson Has Solid Performance
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed 11 times for 40 yards and caught eight passes for 99 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He's still having issues finding holes on the ground, but he continues to find ways to contribute. This time he did it without reaching the end zone.... Read More
Christian Kirk Injured In Week 4
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) limped off the field on the second-to-last play of the game Sunday with what appeared to be a right ankle injury. Kirk had a quiet game with four catches for 37 yards and a six-yard rush in Week 4. If Kirk isn't severely injured, he'll be a flex... Read More
Kyler Murray Ineffective
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray went 22-for-32 for 241 yards, no touchdown and an interception against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. He managed to score a rushing touchdown and amassed 27 yards on four carries. He was sacked four times as his offensive line continues to be a problem. He'll have a midrange matchup against the... Read More
Rams Defense A Prime Play
The Los Angeles Rams take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, and the Rams Defense has a prime matchup. The Bucs have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing defenses in the league. The Bucs have allowed 10 sacks, thrown four picks, lost a fumble and allowed two defensive touchdowns. The touchdowns are... Read More
Aaron Donald Has Great Matchup
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald registered his first sack of the season last week, and he has a feast of a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The Bucs have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to defensive linemen thus far, which includes 8.5 of the 10 sacks they've allowed. Donald... Read More
Tyler Higbee Not A Starting Option
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) is poised to return to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The Bucs have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends thus far. That is misleading, however, as they have faced San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen... Read More
Malcolm Brown Has A Shot At Redemption
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has been invisible since his 11-53-2 breakout in Week 1. He has rushed nine times for 44 yards in two games since then. The Rams play a tough Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense this week that hasn't allowed a score to the position through the first three weeks. The... Read More
Todd Gurley Has A Potential Pitfall Week
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is 25th in the league in fantasy points at the position. That wasn't a typo. He has performed like an RB3 in 12-team leagues. He has rushed 44 times for 203 yards and a touchdown while grabbing four receptions for eight yards. The team insists that he's not... Read More
