BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-14
ANALYSIS: The Rams are looking for a big win today as they are still in the playoff hunt in the NFC. They're favored by a full touchdown here against the Commanders at home. Aaron Donald is expected to play, which should bode well for this team's ability to stop the run. But will they be able to stop the Commanders' passing game and Sam Howell?

The good news for LA is that while the Commanders had a lot of success through the air this season, they are also very turnover-prone and have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing defenses. Howell is out there attempting 40+ passes per game which means he's in position to get sacked or intercepted more often than most QBs. He actually leads the NFL with 14 INTs this season and has been sacked more than any QB (58 times). This is a sneaky good spot for the Rams' defense, but also a "boom-bust" spot that could be risky, too.
