Jared Goff Plays Well
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had a productive season finale with 319 yards passing, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He spread the ball around and was only sacked once in a game he looked like he played carefree in. He finished the up-and-down year with 4,638 yards, 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. It's a...

Budda Baker Has Strong Finish
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker had 13 tackles (eight solo) and 0.5 sacks in the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Baker finished the season with 147 tackles, which was tops among defensive backs. He'll be a strong DB1 candidate in fantasy next season.
Chandler Jones Suppressed
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones was unable to record a sack in Week 17, which cost him the sack crown. Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett had three sacks to finish with 19 1/2 to Jones' 19. Jones had two tackles (one solo) and two passes defended. He'll be a midrange LB1 to consider in... Read More
Zane Gonzalez Makes All Kicks In Finale
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez made a 31-yard field goal and all three extra points in the Week 17 finale. Gonzalez was a great PK1 for a stretch in the middle of the season, but he was hit or miss otherwise. He won't be one to consider in the top-12 kickers next season for now.
Dan Arnold Scores
Arizona Cardinals tight end Dan Arnold caught four passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 finale. He only played in three games with the Cardinals, but he scored touchdowns in two of them. Arnold could have a chance to compete for the starting gig next season, but he isn't on the... Read More
Damiere Byrd Saves His Best For Last
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd had a season-high seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 finale against the Los Angeles Rams. He also lost a fumble, though. Byrd had a couple of productive games this year, but he wasn't able to find consistency to make him a fantasy option.... Read More
Christian Kirk With Seven Catches
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk ended his season on a stronger note with seven catches for 60 yards in Week 17. Kirk showed some flashes in his second year with 68 catches for 709 yards and three touchdowns. An ankle injury cost him three games or he could have flirted with 1,000 yards. He's... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Ends Season With Four Grabs
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had four catches for 45 yards in the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Fitz finishes the year second in NFL history in catches and yards behind Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. He has been mum on his plans for next season, but the team has a... Read More
Kenyan Drake Serviceable In Finale
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake rushed 12 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in the season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. He also caught three passes for 23 yards. Drake really had a tale of two seasons as he only rushed for 3.7 yards per carry in six games with the Miami... Read More
Kyler Murray Goes For 300 Yards
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 26-for-42 for 327 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed twice for no yardage, but he lost two fumbles. Murray finished his rookie campaign with a 64.3 completion percentage, 3,724 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He... Read More
Aaron Donald A Solid Start
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald has come back to the pack a bit over the last five games due to him having just 11 total tackles and 4.5 sacks. He'll have a good matchup against the Arizona Cardinals this week that could be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring). View Donald as a... Read More
Rams Defense A High-End Play
The Los Angeles Rams Defense is sixth in fantasy points over the last five games. They'll have a great matchup against the Arizona Cardinals that may be running backup quarterback Brett Hundley out there. The Rams will be a high-end defense to play this week.
Greg Zuerlein Has The Matchup
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein hasn't had a productive month with a 5-for-8 line in field goals and 13-for-13 in extra points. The Arizona Cardinals are a great matchup, though, and "Greg The Leg" sneaks in as a low-end PK1.
Gerald Everett Could Sit Out
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) has been rumored as an option to sit out of the season finale against the Arizona Cardinals with the Rams out of the playoffs. Either way, he's not a good start in fantasy.
Tyler Higbee A Top Option
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has 35 catches for 438 yards and a touchdown in what has been a December to remember for him. Tight end Gerald Everett (knee) is rumored to be a candidate to sit out of the meaningless Week 17 affair with the Arizona Cardinals. Even if he doesn't, Higbee... Read More
Brandin Cooks Not A Safe Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has seen his role increase a bit the last two weeks. It hasn't been anything special, but he did score a touchdown last week. It's a numbers game with the Rams, and Cooks isn't high enough on the pecking order to start against the Arizona Cardinals.
Robert Woods A Solid WR2
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods is sixth in fantasy points at the position in point-per-reception leagues the last five weeks. He has been really steady despite only one touchdown on the season. The Arizona Cardinals are a midrange matchup, and Woods is a solid WR2 to play.
Cooper Kupp A Steady WR2 Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has touchdowns in four straight games. This has been his saving grace, though, because he has averaged five catches for 45.5 yards per contest. He had six grabs for 65 yards and a score earlier this season against the Arizona Cardinals. That's a safe prognostication this week as... Read More
Malcolm Brown A Possible Flex Play
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown could wind up playing a big role in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. Starting running back Todd Gurley has been rumored likely to sit out or not play much, and rookie running back Darrell Henderson (ankle) has been ruled out. Brown hasn't done much of anything the... Read More
Todd Gurley Too Risky
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been mentioned as a player that could sit out in Week 17 as there is nothing to play for with the team eliminated from the playoffs. The arthritic condition of his knee clearly plagued him for most of the season, and he didn't even practice Friday. The... Read More
Jared Goff A Super-Risky Play
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff looks like a good play on paper this week, but there is no guarantee he plays the whole game. The team has been eliminated from playoff contention, and there's very little reason to risk their franchise quarterback unless they want him to surpass last year's career high in passing... Read More
Budda Baker Should Sit
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker has fallen to 38th in fantasy points over the last five weeks. He was a must-start for much of the year, but he just hasn't produced anything but tackles. Those tackles have dwindled of late, and he's a sketchy start against the Los Angeles Rams.
Chandler Jones Worth LB1 Consideration
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones is coming off his second four-sack performance of the season last week. The explosion helped vault him to seventh in fantasy points at the position the last five weeks. The Los Angeles Rams have allowed only five sacks in five weeks, but they are rumored to be resting some starters.... Read More
Zane Gonzalez Should Sit Out
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez is 30th in fantasy points the last five weeks after a midseason binge to the top 10. The offense isn't clicking consistently enough to warrant the start against the Los Angeles Rams.
Christian Kirk Not A Great Flex Option
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has had an up-and-down season. Last week was a downer as he didn't catch a pass. The last time he faced the Los Angeles Rams, he had just three catches for 23 yards. Also, quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is very questionable this weekend. There is too much bad mojo... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Worth The Flex Play
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald could be suiting up for his final game as a professional and has been productive at 36 years of age. His numbers don't have a lot of pizzazz, but his 71 catches have kept him serviceable in point-per-reception formats. The Los Angeles Rams are a midrange matchup likely to... Read More
David Johnson Should Sit In Week 17
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has just 17 touches in the last four games as he has fallen out of favor once the team acquired running back Kenyan Drake. He's not worth starting against the Los Angeles Rams, and there's no point in handcuffing him to Drake any longer. Look for Johnson, who just... Read More
Kenyan Drake An RB1 In The Finale
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake might be one of the best starts at running back in Week 17. His quarterback, Kyler Murray (hamstring), is a game-time decision in what is a meaningless game in a season he has been among the most hit quarterbacks. The Cards will have to lean on Drake, who had... Read More
