Tyler Higbee Questionable Against Dolphins

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Dolphins.

Rams Defense A Strong Option In Week 8

The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been playing good football all year, and they have the potential for another strong game in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are starting rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the first time, and the Rams defense will be aggressive to try and force him to make mistakes. […]

Gerald Everett Has A Tough Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett was the team's lead option during Week 7 and he had a solid outing. However, in Week 8, things could get really messy against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are currently the second-best team against the tight end position and they're allowing just 4.2 fantasy points per game […]

Robert Woods Could Struggle Again In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had a terrible matchup in Week 7, and things don't get much easier in Week 8. The Miami Dolphins feature two outstanding starting cornerbacks in Byron Jones and Xavien Howard, and Woods is expected to see Howard for the majority of his snaps. Howard is currently the ninth-best […]

Cooper Kupp Is A WR2 In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has had a couple of quiet games the last couple of weeks, but he has a juicy matchup in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are in the middle of the pack, allowing 23.0 fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts, but their biggest weakness is […]

Malcolm Brown A Deep Flex Option In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown isn't a great fantasy option, but he's clearly a flex option in most weeks in deeper leagues, especially in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. He leads the team in running back snaps this season and he's been getting a lot of the goal-line work. With four teams […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Has A Good Matchup For Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson needed some time to get his feet under him to start the year, but he's rolling heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. He's the RB21 on the year despite being a non-factor in two games this season, and he's averaging just over 12 point-per-reception […]

Jared Goff Has An Average Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff hasn't been perfect this season, but he's been a decent option as the overall QB14 through seven weeks. In Week 8, he's definitely not going to be near the top of the rankings against the Miami Dolphins. He has the full complement of his receiving weapons, but he's going […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 8

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Week 7 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 6 scoring was a little down and Deshaun Watson led the way with 32 fantasy points. That was not the case in Week 7 as Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow and Russell Wilson all accounted for at least three touchdowns and exceeded 32 fantasy points in the process. Week 7 was a […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As the bye weeks necessitate constant waiver wire action, injuries at the running back position have yet to cease. Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, and Kenyan Drake are the latest to pull the rug from under fantasy teams without warning. The pickings may be slim these days but between byes and injuries, you might have no […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year.

Rams Defense Loses Terrell Burgess For The Season

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that rookie third-round safety Terrell Burgess (ankle) broke his ankle in the Monday night win over the Bears and will miss the rest of the season. The 21-year-old will finish his rookie season with eight tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed in seven games of action. […]

Rams Waiving Samuel Sloman

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving rookie kicker Samuel Sloman on Tuesday. Sloman connected on all three of his extra points in the Monday night win over the Bears but had one of his two field-goal tries blocked. He hadn't seen enough volume (11 field-goal attempts) this year in the Rams offense in seven games […]

Malcolm Brown (RB, LAR) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is something in Los Angeles' air. Both the Chargers and Rams have very confounding backfields, and although both squads seem to have a clear RB1 (Austin Ekeler and Darrell Henderson Jr. respectively) they are either injured or working under a rather high […]

Samuel Sloman Has A Quiet Game Monday

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman needed to put together a strong performance in Week 7, but he still couldn't quite get the job done against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He went just one of two on his field goals, and his miss was even blocked. The Rams brought in veteran Kai Forbath […]
