Matchups We Love

Rams WRs

Cooper Kupp stole the show with a vintage performance against the Cardinals. He dominated their defense with 147 yards and a score. He also edged Puka Nacua in targets with two more. Despite similar usage, Nacua could not deliver. He did drop a ball in the end zone, which would have helped his case. The Rams will be without their top two running backs this week, so there's plenty of reason to be optimistic about him in a good matchup as a top-24 receiver. It also means Tutu Atwell, who will be volatile, is worth a look as a flex option.

Matthew Stafford (QB, LAR)

Arizona held its own until halftime. They then watched their defense get shredded by Kyren Williams. It allowed Stafford to sit back and cruise to a comfortable win. As we alluded to, both Williams and Ronnie Rivers are facing a multi-week absence, so more will fall on the shoulders of Stafford who's still a streaming candidate.
