Malcolm Brown Has Little Upside Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has taken a clear back seat to rookie Cam Akers in the pecking order for L.A., leaving him with little upside against the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday's wild-card game on Saturday. Brown did have two touchdowns in the first meeting between these two teams, but he hasn't found the... Read More

Alex Collins Not A Trustworthy Wild-Card Option

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins had five carries for 29 yards and a touchdown in last week's game against the 49ers, but that doesn't mean DFS players need to view Collins as a potential value play on wild-card weekend. Those carries were the first for Collins since Week 10, and while he did find... Read More

Chris Carson Is Middling Wild-Card Play

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) is dealing with a foot injury and faces a tough Rams Defense in Saturday's wild-card playoff game, but his projected volume makes him a fine DFS play. He won't be a top option on this slate, but he did have 69 yards the last time he faced the Rams,... Read More

D.K. Metcalf Is Risk/Reward DFS Play Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has struggled against the Rams Defense this season, catching just eight passes in two games against them and failing to find the end zone. Metcalf is one of the NFL's best receivers, but the Rams have bottled him up this season, and he's also coming off a rough Week... Read More

Tyler Lockett Has Low Floor Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had his best game since Week 7 in last week's win over the 49ers, with 12 catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns.

Russell Wilson Carries Some Risk In Wild-Card Round

Never count out Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, but maybe temper your expectations on Saturday when he faces the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round. In what will likely be a low-scoring game between two defenses that are playing excellent football, Wilson has a much lower floor than usual. In two games against the... Read More

Cam Akers Should See Plenty Of Carries In Wildcard Round

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers saw 21 carries in Week 17 with the Rams starting John Wolford at quarterback. And while Akers didn't get much accomplished with those carries, turning them into just 34 yards, he did add four receptions for 52 yards. Akers has become the clear No. 1 running back on... Read More

Cooper Kupp Should Have Solid Floor On Saturday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has five or more receptions in four consecutive games, including catching eight passes for 66 yards last week with John Wolford starting at quarterback. It remains unclear who the quarterback will be on Saturday, but if it is Wolford again, Kupp should be the player who is least... Read More

Recent Struggles Make Robert Woods Risky In Wild-Card Round

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has seen a drop in numbers lately. After topping 70 yards in seven of the first 12 games of the season, he failed to do so in each of the final four games. His receptions per game through 12 games were 5.9, but that dropped to 4.8 over... Read More

Jack Doyle Could Be Interesting Value Play

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle had a rough start to the NFL season, as he had just 11 receptions through Week 13. But he has 12 catches over the last four games and seems to be peaking at a good time for the Colts. Buffalo allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight... Read More

Zach Pascal Has DFS Upside In Wild-Card Round

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal has been targeted four or more times in three consecutive games and has three touchdowns in that span. He's solidified his spot as the team's No. 2 receiver heading into the postseason. And while Saturday's opponent, the Buffalo Bills, allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide...

Kyle Kuzma Struggles In Good Spot Against Bulls
