Timeshare or Position Battle? Breaking Down Running Back Committees for Fantasy Football

As the season rolls along, we're starting to get a better idea of how some running back committees have gone. Some of those committees have turned out to not be committees. James Robinson has dominated the Jaguars backfield and left Travis Etienne with a minimal role, for example. And some have been even more committee […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals For Week 5: Amari Cooper, Christian McCaffrey, and More

How is your fantasy team doing? It is still early whether you are 2-2, 4-0, or even 0-4. Hopefully, counting on Matthew Stafford or Jonathan Taylor didn't destroy you. While we can't do anything about injuries, we can try to predict who will have a good week and who will not. You are counting on […]

Rams Defense A Subpar Choice In Week 5

The Los Angeles Rams defense and special teams unit faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. The Cowboys have scored over 20 points in each of the last three games. They have turned the ball over fewer times than any other team in the league, and they have allowed the tenth-fewest sacks. The Rams defense […]

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is 7-for-7 on field goals this season. In Week 5, he faces a Cowboys team that is allowing the third-fewest points per game in 2022. That means he probably won't get many chances to kick extra points this week, and his prospects for kicking field goals are unpredictable. He […]

Tyler Higbee Likely To Finish As TE1 In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been targeted more than any other player on the Rams except Cooper Kupp. He might be targeted a lot in Week 5 against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a tough pass defense, which ranks in the top ten in limiting opponent's yards per game and yards per […]

Allen Robinson II Likely To Struggle In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II has been having a poor season and doesn't rate as a starter with his tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. The Cowboys defense ranks second in fewest passing yards allowed per attempt and sixth in passing yards per game, while racking up the second-most […]

Cooper Kupp Projects As WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has a tough matchup against the elite Dallas Cowboys pass defense in Week 5, but he still should be started and expected to finish as a WR1 in all leagues. The Cowboys rank second in fewest passing yards allowed per attempt, sixth in passing yards per game, and […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Should Be Kept On Bench

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. faces a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, which limits his prospects as a fantasy starter in Week 5. Henderson has carried the ball less than ten times in each of the past two games. He has had two games with four or more targets, but he also has […]

Cam Akers Unlikely To Finish As RB1 In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers lacks both the volume and efficiency to be trusted as an RB1 or RB2 as he faces a quality Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 5. Akers has averaged 9.5 carries for 29.5 yards per game rushing and has only added two receptions all season. The Cowboys defense has […]

Matthew Stafford Faces Stifling Cowboys Defense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford faces a stingy Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 5 and should not be trusted as a starting QB in fantasy football. Stafford has been having a disappointing season, averaging 253.8 yards per game to go with just four touchdowns in four games and a league-leading six interceptions. The Rams […]

Week 5 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Week 4 of the NFL season was another wild one. It was filled with a couple of short-term injuries that make you feel for players and worry for your fantasy teams (Tua Tagovailoa and Jonathan Taylor), it had a long-term injury that hurt particularly badly (Javonte Williams), and it had a QB change (Kenny Pickett […]

Rams Plan To Spread Ball Around To Include Allen Robinson II

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II is off to a disappointing start with his new team and will look to be more involved in the offense. Rams head coach Sean McVay said the game plan is to spread the ball around more, including Robinson. "A lot of it is out of his [Robinson] […]

A month of the NFL season is in the books, but the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football will continue all season. Even though we have four games of data for each team, kicker projections are very elastic week-to-week and it's too early to draw definitive conclusions. That said, four weeks of […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 5?

Now that we're officially 25% into the 2022 NFL season, fantasy managers can begin to be confident that what you see is what you're going to get. Certainly, there will be a few breakouts yet and some injuries, but for the most part, you can begin to feel at least semi-confident in what we know. […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Held In Check By 49ers

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. gained 27 yards on seven carries in LA's 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was also targeted four times in the passing game and caught three for 12 yards. While Henderson had one fewer carry than fellow Rams RB Cam Akers, he did gain more […]

Cam Akers Gains 13 Yards In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers gained 13 yards on eight carries in LA's 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was also targeted once but didn't haul in the pass. Akers led fellow RB Darrell Henderson Jr. in carries by just one. But a running back in a pass-heavy offense with carries […]

Tyler Higbee Posts Season High In Catches

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was targeted 14 times and caught 10 passes for 73 yards. It was the 29-year-old's second game with double-digit targets this season and his first with double-digit receptions. Higbee is taking advantage of being a target hog in an underwhelming offense to rank as the TE5 in PPR […]

Cooper Kupp Targeted 19 Times, Catches 14 Passes

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was targeted 19 times and caught 14 passes for 122 yards. It was the 29-year-olds first game without scoring a touchdown through the air or on the ground since Week 15 of 2021. Still, the bonkers target numbers allowed Kupp to finish as WR3 in PPR, while he […]

Matthew Stafford Has No Touchdowns On Monday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 32-of-48 passes for 254 yards and threw an interception and lost a fumble in LA's 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was under constant pressure, getting sacked seven times. It was the former Super Bowl champ's second-straight game without a touchdown and his third game in […]

Allen Robinson II Barely Cracks Top-100 WRs

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II caught two of six targets for seven yards in LA's 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 3.5 yards per reception was the fewest for Robinson since the first game of his career in 2014. With his WR85 finish, Robinson has now finished in the top […]

Coleman Shelton Ruled Out After Injury On Monday

Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Coleman Shelton left Week 4's Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers with an ankle injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. Shelton injured his ankle during the first quarter and then tried to play on the following drive but ultimately ended up […]

Malcolm Brown Joins Rams Active Roster

The Los Angeles Rams elevated running back Malcolm Brown and offensive tackle Chandler Brewer from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday night's contest against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. The 29-year-oLD Brown won't have much of a role at all on Monday behind Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson Jr. and Jake Funk. Browns […]
