Both of these squads advanced through the Wild Card Round with ease, winning their matchups by a combined 30 points. L.A. will travel to the City of Brotherly Love for a rematch of Week 12 of the regular season, a meeting that Philadelphia won by a score of 37-20.

Read our fantasy football breakdowns for this game -- the recommended starts, sits, and matchups we love heading into the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Below, you'll see the fantasy football outlooks for key players like Jalen Hurts, Matthew Stafford Saquon Barkley, Kyren WilliamsA.J. Brown, Puka Nacua, and more.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for the 2025 playoffs:

 

Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles

Time: Sunday 3:00 PM ET

Spread: Eagles -6.5

Projected Point Total: 43.5

 

Matchups We Love

TE Dallas Goedert 

Dallas Goedert had a solid fantasy game last week, finishing with 14.7 PPR fantasy points. Now, he has a fantastic matchup in the Divisional Round against the Rams.

Los Angeles gave up the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in the regular season and just allowed T.J. Hockenson to catch five passes for 64 yards and one touchdown last week. So, Goedert will be an appealing fantasy option this weekend.

Update: Goedert did not practice on Thursday due to an illness but returned to practice on Friday.

 

Matchups We Hate

QB Matthew Stafford 

Matthew Stafford played a flawless game on Monday night against the Vikings in the Wild Card Round. However, he'll have his hands full in the Divisional Round against the Eagles.

Philadelphia allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in the regular season, and this secondary has allowed only three quarterbacks to throw for multiple passing touchdowns in a game since Week 5. So, he'll be a risker play.

RB Kyren Williams

Kyren Williams has been a workhorse running back for the Rams all season and managed to get into the end zone in last week's Wild Card Round win. But he's going to be a lower-end option in the Divisional Round against the Eagles. Philadelphia's front seven has been elite all season, and Williams only scored 11.2 PPR fantasy points the last time he faced this defense back in Week 12.

WR Cooper Kupp

Cooper Kupp went from being Stafford's favorite target to not even being involved in the passing game. Kupp only caught one pass in last week's win. So, he will be a riskier flex option in the Divisional Round in a tough matchup against the Eagles secondary. The veteran will likely go up against Cooper DeJean on Sunday, and DeJean ranked first in yards per reception allowed in the regular season.

 

Other Matchups

QB Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts definitely had his struggles last week in his first game back from a concussion. But he will remain a solid quarterback play this weekend against the Rams. Los Angeles has done a solid job against fantasy quarterbacks over the past few months, holding six different quarterbacks to under 16 fantasy points since Week 10. So, this isn't as strong of a matchup for Hurts as some might think.

RB Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley was unstoppable the last time he faced the Rams back in Week 12. Barkley ran for 255 yards and two touchdowns while scoring 46.2 PPR fantasy points. While he likely won't repeat that performance this weekend, he will continue to be a strong fantasy option in the Divisional Round. Los Angeles allowed the 11th-most rush yards in the regular season.

WR Puka Nacua 

Puka Nacua was quiet for the most part in the Wild Card Round, catching five passes for 44 yards. However, he will be a nice fantasy play this weekend against the Eagles. Nacua totaled 117 receiving yards the last time he faced this Philadelphia secondary back in Week 12, and the Rams move him around on offense so much that he's a safer fantasy option.

WR A.J. Brown 

A.J. Brown was held to just one catch in last week's win, but expect that to change in the Divisional Round against the Rams. Hurts only completed 13 passes in the Wild Card Round, and Brown had one of his better games of the season against this Los Angeles secondary back in Week 12. He caught six passes for 109 yards and one touchdown in that game. So, a bounce-back performance should be in store for him.

WR DeVonta Smith 

DeVonta Smith will have some fantasy potential this weekend against the Rams. Smith has been more involved in the passing game in recent weeks, totaling over 50 receiving yards in each of his last four games. During that span, the Eagles playmaker is averaging 19.65 PPR fantasy points. So, he can be a solid play. Los Angeles also just allowed Khalil Shakir to score 21.6 PPR fantasy points in the slot back in Week 14.

TE Tyler Higbee

Tyler Higbee left last week's game early due to a chest injury, so it remains to be seen if he will be able to suit up on Sunday against the Eagles. If he can, though, Higbee could wind up being a value play in DFS contests. The veteran was utilized early in last week's win and totaled five catches for 58 yards within the first two quarters before leaving the game.

Update: Higbee was limited in practice on Thursday.
