Tyler Higbee Not A Starting Option
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) is poised to return to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The Bucs have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends thus far. That is misleading, however, as they have faced San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen […]
Malcolm Brown Has A Shot At Redemption
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has been invisible since his 11-53-2 breakout in Week 1. He has rushed nine times for 44 yards in two games since then. The Rams play a tough Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense this week that hasn't allowed a score to the position through the first three weeks. The […]
Todd Gurley Has A Potential Pitfall Week
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is 25th in the league in fantasy points at the position. That wasn't a typo. He has performed like an RB3 in 12-team leagues. He has rushed 44 times for 203 yards and a touchdown while grabbing four receptions for eight yards. The team insists that he's not […]
Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 4
Week 3 was an exciting one, with big injuries, big comebacks, and big debuts. Also, another blowout loss by the Miami Dolphins as they continue the unprecedented Great Tanking of 2019.

Cooper Kupp Trending Into WR1 Territory
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp appears to be entering into WR1 territory after three consecutive weeks of strong performances, including an 11-catch, 101-yard night against the Cleveland Browns. Kupp continues to lead the team in all statistical receiving categories, thanks to his strong rapport with quarterback Jared Goff. In Week 4, Kupp and […]
Robert Woods Entering Uncharted Territory
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has continued to struggle in the passing game, finishing the team’s Week 3 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns with three catches on eight targets for 40 yards.

Brandin Cooks Heavily Involved In Offense
When Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks opened the season with two catches for 39 yards, many fantasy owners panicked that the star’s workload had been drastically cut. Three weeks into the season, these concerns seem distant. Appearing to be second in line for targets behind counterpart Cooper Kupp, Cooks dominated a beleaguered Cleveland […]
Jared Goff Faces Exposable Tampa Bay Secondary
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff continues to remain average; in Week 3, the fourth-year quarterback had 24 completions on 38 attempts for two TDs in the team’s 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. While the stat line looks passable on paper and Goff appeared to be more effective in the second half of the […]
Tyler Higbee On Track To Play Against Bucs
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) is on track to play in Week 4 against the Buccaneers. It means that Gerald Everett will likely go back to backup duties. In an offense with a ton of playmakers already, the Rams very rarely use the tight end position […]

Daniel Jones. That's where this article will begin and end. As one of the many analysts who mocked the Giants on draft day and held heavy skepticism about his prospects as an NFL quarterback, let me be the first to issue a formal apology to Mr. Jones. Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Todd Gurley Not On Load-Management Program
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley isn't on a load-management program. "We're not doing anything like that," McVay said. "It's more along the lines of each week presents a different approach. It's kind of the feel the flow of the game," McVay said. Gurley had 14 carries for […]
Cooper Kupp Explodes In Rams Victory
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp continued his strong start with a team-high 11 receptions on 12 targets for 102 yards and two TDs in the team’s 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Kupp continues to be quarterback Jared Goff’s favorite target and the clear WR1 on the team. In fantasy football across all […]
Robert Woods Continues To Struggle In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught three passes on eight targets for 40 yards in the team’s 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. For fantasy owners, Woods’ performance on Sunday night was frustrating. He remains an integral part of the offense and continues to be highly targeted, however, his usage remains volatile week-to-week […]
Brandin Cooks Thrives In Rams Victory
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks had eight receptions on 12 targets for a team-high 112 yards in the team’s 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Cooks picked up where he left off in Week 2, as he remained quarterback Jared Goff’s deep-ball target on Sunday night. His performance solidified that the star wide […]
Jared Goff Average in Rams Victory
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff completed 24 passes on 38 attempts for 269 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. While Goff struggled in a low-scoring first half, he rebounded well after halftime, showing significantly more confidence in the pocket. However, the fourth-year QB had two interceptions, including […]
Aaron Donald Comes Alive For Rams Defense
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had four tackles (three solo) and his first sack of the season in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. Donald started out slowly the first two weeks, but he delivered in this affair. He has another positive outlook against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. He's worth […]
Gerald Everett Kept In Check
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett had just two catches for 15 yards in Week 3. Those were the only two targets he saw filling in for Tyler Higbee (lung). Everett isn't worth consideration against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week in traditional leagues.
Malcolm Brown Does Little
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed just three times for seven yards in Week 3. It was a tough day overall for the running game as the team rushed 24 times to 38 pass attempts. Brown has done little in the last two games after a two-touchdown opener. He has a tough matchup […]
Todd Gurley Ineffective
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 14 times for 43 yards in a quiet Week 3 outing against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted once through the air, but he had no completions. He'll have a tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. The Bucs have been among the stingiest defenses […]
