Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 12

The regular season continues to advance at a relentless pace as we have now entered the planning process for Week 12. Some of you are concentrating on building lineups that will commandeer a spot in the fantasy playoffs, while others are making slight adjustments to teams that have already secured their place in the postseason. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

We're onto Week 12, which means the last of the bye weeks approaches. The Cardinals, Chargers, Chiefs and Vikings hit the hammocks as we can finally start to look at players without worrying about future offweeks. To help you look towards those precious playoff weeks, here is the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 12)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Brandin Cooks Expected To Return In Week 12

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said he expects wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion), who has missed the last two games, to return in Week 12 on Monday night against the Ravens. It's great news for Cooks owners and for quarterback Jared Goff, who has struggled mightily the last two games. However, Cooks will […]

Aaron Donald With Two Sacks

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had two sacks against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. That makes five games in a row he has reached the quarterback. He added four tackles (three solo) and batted down a pass. Donald remains a solid DL1 in individual defensive formats.

Rams Defense Solid In Week 11

The Los Angeles Rams Defense tallied three sacks and an interception while holding the Chicago Bears to just seven points in Week 11. The Rams will have a very tough test against the Baltimore Ravens next week and are probably best avoided.

Gerald Everett Targeted Once

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught the only ball thrown to him in Week 11 for 20 yards. The team clearly focused on running the ball, and they didn't take many shots down the field. Everett should have more opportunities next week against the Baltimore Ravens.

Cooper Kupp Schemed Out

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was limited to three catches for 53 yards in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. The Rams completed just 11 passes and clearly planned around the run with wide receivers Robert Woods (personal) and Brandin Cooks (concussion) out. He caught all of his targets, and one of them […]

Malcolm Brown Scores

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had five carries for 15 yards and a touchdown in Week 11. It was Brown's first useful day in fantasy since Week 1 when he vultured two touchdowns. You can't bank on that week to week, but he needs to be handcuffed to starting running back Todd Gurley. […]

Todd Gurley Finally Lets Loose

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 25 times for 97 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. He did lose a fumble, however. Gurley also caught three balls for 36 yards. The three catches tied for the team lead as the team finally rode on his back. […]

Jared Goff Quiet In Week 11

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was 11-for-18 for 173 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. That was the fewest amount of attempts he has had as a starter. The Rams surprisingly relied on the run and were able to secure the victory. Goff's play has to worry […]

Robert Woods Surprise Inactive For Sunday Night Football

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods (personal) is a surprise late scratch for tonight's Sunday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears. There are not many details available at this time aside from Woods being inactive because of a personal issue. With Brandin Cooks (concussion) also inactive, this should mean even more involvement than […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 11

It's Week 11, and we have to get wins. The playoffs are just around the corner, and we can't afford to take losses. You likely have just a week or two before the fantasy playoffs, and having the right quarterback can make all the difference. We have several great matchups coming up this week while […]

Give Up on Jared Goff Before It's Too Late

Not long ago, we were discussing the quarterback stable for the 2019 season in preparation for our season-long drafts. Two months and change, that is. Back in September, there were just a couple quarterbacks deemed as locks to be drafted inside the first three or four rounds: Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, and only for those […]

Dynasty League Running Back Trades: Getting the Proper Returns

In fantasy football dynasty leagues, there is always tomorrow. That is what makes the format so compelling. Yes, your team may be out of it this year, but your season is never really over. If your team has four wins, one more defeat and you are likely done for the season. If you have less […]

Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee Questionable Against Bears

Los Angeles Rams tight ends Gerald Everett (wrist) and Tyler Higbee (knee) were limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Sunday night against the Bears in Week 11. Everett was limited in practice all week and is expected to play. Higbee is also expected to play, but he should take a back seat […]

Aaron Donald Worth Starting

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald has sacks in four games straight, and he could make it five against the Chicago Bears. The Bears have allowed 3.5 sacks per game over the last four games. Donald is a low-end DL1 in individual defensive player leagues.

Rams Defense Makes The Cut

The Los Angeles Rams Defense has recorded 3.8 sacks per game over the last four games to go with 1.3 fumble recoveries and 0.5 interceptions per game. Their numbers are a little skewed because they've scored two touchdowns during the stretch, but the matchup against the Chicago Bears is a solid one. Start them as […]

Robert Woods Worth The Flex Play

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods stepped up last week with seven catches for a team-high 95 receiving yards on 11 targets. He'll need to continue that level of play with Brandin Cooks (concussion) out again this week and tight end Gerald Everett (wrist) expected to play through injury. The Chicago Bears are a […]

Darrell Henderson Shouldn't Be Started

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson rushed four times for four yards in Week 10, and he figures to continue sharing backup duties with Malcolm Brown. Henderson isn't worth starting against the Chicago Bears, but he should be handcuffed to starting running back Todd Gurley.

Malcolm Brown Not Worth Starting

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had five carries for 10 yards last week after a month-long absence with an ankle injury. He could see a little more work, but he'll share whatever starting running back Todd Gurley doesn't take with rookie Darrell Henderson. Brown and Henderson negate each other in fantasy, but they […]

Todd Gurley On the Cusp?

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley was more effective as a runner last week than he had been since Week 1 with 6.1 yards per rush. The team just didn't use him enough. That may ultimately be their kryptonite as they fall in love with the pass frequently, and it has them in third […]

Jared Goff A Suspect Start

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has had two really bad games out of the last four, and he's facing a tough matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Bears allowed 247.5 passing yards and 1.3 touchdowns per game to quarterbacks, but they picked off just 0.5 passes per game in the span. The matchup isn't […]

Cooper Kupp Expected To Play Through Stomach Bug

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (illness) missed practice because of a stomach bug on Friday, but he's expected to be fine for Sunday night against the Bears. Kupp throwing up a goose egg against the Steelers last week with Brandin Cooks (concussion) out was one of the biggest surprises of Week 10. It's […]
