Todd Gurley Has Grim Outlook
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been the eighth-best running back in point-per-reception formats the last five games, but that's in large part to his five total touchdowns. He's averaging 62.6 rushing yards, 2.8 receptions and 21 receiving yards. So, if he doesn't reach the end zone, he's a pretty average back. He's... Read More
Jared Goff Worth The Spin
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has payback to deal to the San Francisco 49ers this week. He had one of his worst games of his career against them earlier this season when he went 13-for-24 for 78 yards. Goff hasn't had trouble moving the ball the last five weeks with 277.2 passing yards per... Read More

Aaron Donald Kept Under Wraps
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had three tackles (one solo) in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. He was unable to land a sack in the game. He'll have a midrange matchup against the San Francisco 49ers next week as a low-end DL1.
Greg Zuerlein Contained
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein had a single extra point in the blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. He'll have a decent matchup against the San Francisco 49ers next week, and Zuerlein will be a low-end kicker option.
Tyler Higbee Stars Again
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had a game-high 12 catches for 111 yards in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. He was targeted 14 times in the game, which led all players. He has 26 catches for 334 yards and one score the last three games as he has emerged as a TE1.... Read More
Brandin Cooks With Four Grabs
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four receptions for 46 yards in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. The four catches were all he had in the last three games entering the contest. He was third on team with eight targets. It was nice that he re-emerged as a target in the offense,... Read More
Robert Woods Cools Off
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had four catches for 17 yards on nine targets in Week 15. The Dallas Cowboys did their homework and made him a non-factor. He was second on the team in targets. Next week will be even more of a chore against the San Francisco 49ers. Woods will be... Read More
Cooper Kupp Hits End Zone
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp salvaged a six-catch, 41-yard performance with a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday. Kupp was fifth on the team in targets as quarterback Jared Goff really hasn't connected well with him the last few weeks. Kupp will have a tough matchup in Week 16 against the San Francisco... Read More
Todd Gurley Reaches End Zone Twice
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley scored on the ground and in the air in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Rams actually fell behind early and never recovered. Gurley had 11 rushes for 20 yards and three catches for 18 yards. Those touchdowns salvaged what would have been a rough fantasy week.... Read More
Jared Goff Busy In Week 15
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff went 33-for-51 for 284 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Week 15. The Rams were never in the game, and Goff was forced to throw for the entirety. Goff will face off against the San Francisco 49ers Saturday in Week 16. The 49ers haven't been as stout against... Read More
Budda Baker Has So-So Day
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker had seven tackles (five solo) in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Baker has been a solid DB1 in individual defensive player leagues all season, but he has fizzled out a bit. He's good for tackles, but he doesn't do much else. He'll be a low-end DB1 against the Seattle... Read More
Chandler Jones Has Solid Performance
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones had five solo tackles and a sack against the Cleveland Browns Sunday. He has at least a half-sack in six straight games, but he has had five or more tackles in just four games this season. So it's a risk to use him against the Seattle Seahawks next week, but... Read More
Damiere Byrd Leads The Way
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd led the team with six grabs for 86 yards in Week 15. It was his best game of the season, but he doesn't possess enough upside to be worth a waiver claim at this time. Keep him on the watch list.
Larry Fitzgerald Has Three Catches
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had three catches for 42 yards in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Fitz is routinely the second-most targeted receiver, but he isn't doing a lot with the looks. He'll be a flex option against the Seattle Seahawks in point-per-reception leagues next week, but his upside is minimal.
Christian Kirk Has Meager Week 15
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk caught four balls for 33 yards in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. He also had a 28-yard rush. The entire passing attack was pretty quiet while running back Kenyan Drake scored four times on the ground. Kirk has the most upside of all the receivers, and he'll be... Read More
David Johnson Has Just Three Touches
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed just three times for six yards and was not targeted in the passing game in Week 15. With Kenyan Drake putting four runs into the end zone this week, Johnson's roster viability has become grim. It's unlikely he'll have a big enough role the final two weeks to... Read More
Kenyan Drake Scores Four Times
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake lit it up in Week 15 with 137 rushing yards and four touchdowns. He was the first player in franchise history to score four times on the ground since 1993. He also had a nine-yard reception. Drake hadn't done much the last month, but he really put one on... Read More
Kyler Murray Throws For 219 Yards
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was an efficient 19-for- 25 for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the win over the Cleveland Browns Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 56 yards. Murray spread the ball around to nine different targets, and no one had more than six looks. Murray isn't setting the... Read More
Aaron Donald Should Sit
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is eighth in fantasy points at the position over the last five weeks. He isn't posting out-of-this-world numbers, but he gets to the quarterback almost every game. The Dallas Cowboys have one of the best offensive lines in the game, and Donald doesn't do much outside of the... Read More
Rams Defense Not A Factor
The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been good over the last five weeks as they're seventh in fantasy points. The Dallas Cowboys are one of the better teams against opposing defenses because they don't turn the ball over or allow many sacks. Look elsewhere for a defense this week.
Greg Zuerlein Should Take A Seat
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein is 6-for-9 in field goals the last five games, and he has nailed all 11 extra points in what has been a bit of an outage in fantasy. The offense isn't presenting him enough opportunities, and the Dallas Cowboys limit what kickers do against them as well. Steer clear... Read More
Brandin Cooks Not Worth Playing
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has caught four passes for 56 yards in the last three games since returning from a concussion. His freefall disqualifies him from consideration for fantasy against the Dallas Cowboys.
Robert Woods A Great Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods is having the best run of his career the last five weeks. In point-per-reception formats, he ranks seventh in fantasy points. He also missed a game due to personal reasons in the span. He's averaging 8.3 receptions for 115.5 yards during the last four games, but the one... Read More
Cooper Kupp Still A WR2 Option
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been really sketchy of late, but he has scored a couple of touchdowns to salvage his last two weeks. He has 19 grabs for 198 yards and two touchdowns in the last five games. Quarterback Jared Goff has really grown a rapport with receiver Robert Woods, and... Read More
Ride With Todd Gurley
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has performed like an RB1 in his best stretch of the season the last five weeks. He has rushed 85 times for 366 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and three touchdowns. Gurley caught a modest 11 balls for 87 yards during the stretch. The Cowboys present a midrange... Read More
Jared Goff Worth Rolling With
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has started to right the ship a bit after a three-game touchdown drought. He has thrown for 717 yards, four touchdowns and two picks the last two games. He'll have a solid matchup against a struggling Dallas Cowboys Defense. They've allowed 218.8 passing yards a game the last five... Read More
Budda Baker Good To Go
Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (hamstring) practiced in full Friday, which means he's good to go for Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Baker has been a solid DB1 in individual defensive player leagues all season, but he has come back to the pack a bit. He has 42 tackles (36 solo), two passes defended... Read More
Chandler Jones Should Sit
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones has been hit or miss lately because his fantasy value is predicated on sacks. He has 18 tackles (13 solo), 4.5 sacks, a pass defense and two forced fumbles the last four games, which sneaks him into the top 20 linebackers. He's too risky to use against the Cleveland Browns...
