Konata Mumpfield a Candidate to Start Opposite Top Receiver?
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield could start Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks with Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play. Mumpfield didn't catch a pass last week, but he still finished third among Rams receivers with his 44% snap share, trailing only Adams and Puka Nacua. He has played at least 38% of the snaps in each of his last four games, and while it hasn't amounted to much production, it's still encouraging that he has been earning snaps and running routes. Managers in a typical 12-team league shouldn't take the risk of starting Mumpfield this week, especially as he faces off against a Seahawks defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. Still, he is an intriguing dart throw in the deepest of leagues. Jordan Whittington is the only true obstacle between Mumpfield and the No. 2 receiver role in Week 16, but Whittington is trending in the wrong direction after playing just 6% of snaps last week. Mumpfield currently ranks as the overall WR99 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.
