Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has a home game against the flailing Carolina Panthers in Week 6.

They have turned the ball over fewer times than any other team in the league, and they have allowed the tenth-fewest sacks. The Rams defense […]

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is 7-for-7 on field goals this season. In Week 5, he faces a Cowboys team that is allowing the third-fewest points per game in 2022.

Tyler Higbee Likely To Finish As TE1 In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been targeted more than any other player on the Rams except Cooper Kupp. He might be targeted a lot in Week 5 against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a tough pass defense, which ranks in the top ten in limiting opponent's yards per game and yards per […]

Cooper Kupp Projects As WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has a tough matchup against the elite Dallas Cowboys pass defense in Week 5, but he still should be started and expected to finish as a WR1 in all leagues.

Matthew Stafford Faces Stifling Cowboys Defense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford faces a stingy Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 5 and should not be trusted as a starting QB in fantasy football.

49ers Defensive End Nick Bosa Faces Old Rival In Week 5

The San Francisco 49ers defense, which leads the league in sacks, is facing the Carolina Panthers offense, which has allowed the 10thh-most sacks.

Robbie Gould A Poor Streaming Choice In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould faces the Carolina Panthers, the team allowing the sixth-most points to kickers, in Week 5.

George Kittle Needs More Targets

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has not been the dynamic TE1 many expected him to be in his first two games back from injury. He has caught six passes for 52 yards. The problem has not been that he is not running routes. He is running routes on 86.7% of the Niners' passing […]

Brandon Aiyuk Will Be Low-End Flex
