Darrell Henderson Jr. Has A Pair Of Touchdowns In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson wasn't very efficient in Week 5, but he still managed to turn in a good fantasy day against the Washington Football Team.

Jared Goff Plays Great In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff wasn't perfect against the Washington Football Team in Week 5, but he played pretty close to it.

Cam Akers Returns For Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ribs) is back in Week 5, as the Rams face the Washington Football Team.

Rams Defense An Advantageous Selection Sunday

The Los Angeles Rams Defense was going to be a solid play Sunday against Washington no matter who was under center due to the way that the team’s offense has scuffled this season, but with Kyle Allen making his first start for the team, their advantageous situation only increased. Allen showed flashes last year while […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

A month into the season and coaching is somehow getting worse and worse. The Chargers were in every position to upset the Bucs but Anthony Lynn had them run the ball up 24-7, with under a minute to go from their own 10. The Chargers proceeded to fumble and Tom Brady converted for a touchdown. […]

Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After successfully predicting eight out of the top ten defenses last week, we may be starting to hit our groove. Some of them felt a bit like gimmes, but the Jets in the top-10 was the subject of criticism and watching the Bills round into form a bit was also nice. The only two outliers […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 5 (10/11/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

We took care of some business in Week 4, going 2-1, with the loss being a disappointing one. Baltimore took care of business, although a bad no-call on a would-be Marquise Brown touchdown made it a little more a sweat than need be. Jacksonville and Cincinnati covered the over with ease, and that was after […]

How Sean McVay Keeps Screwing With Fantasy Teams

Remember the halcyon days of 2018, when the Los Angeles Rams offense was just so easy to predict? Jared Goff was a QB1. Todd Gurley II was an RB1.
