Start ’em

You should automatically start Todd Gurley every week! Plus did you see what Isaiah Crowell did to the Broncos run game?

Jared Goff

Goff has thrown for 300+ yards in every game but one this season. To go along with that his lowest fantasy output was 15 points. Now he is going against a Broncos secondary that will be lucky to suit up four corners for the game. The only issue may be the weather as it will be cold with a chance of snow in Denver. Still Goff should have a favorable match-up.

Projection: 300 yards, two touchdowns.

Phillip Lindsay/Royce Freeman

Yes fire up both running backs for Sundays game! The Rams are giving up nearly five yards per carry to running backs and have less than stellar play from their line backing core. They are also coming off a game where they gave up 116 yards to Chris Carson and an additional 68 yards to Mike Davis. The Broncos duo and offensive line is better than that of Seattle. Add in the weather and slowing down the Rams high-powered offense and it makes for a good day for Denver’s backs.

Projection: 180 rush yards, two touchdowns combined

All three Rams receivers

The Rams currently have the number two (Cooper Kupp), number eight (Robert Woods), and number 22 (Brandin Cooks) receivers in fantasy football. It is also trending towards both Kupp and Cooks playing coming off concussions in week five. Chris Harris Jr has proven to be the only reliable cover corner the Broncos have right now. Whichever receiver draws that match-up may see the worst day but I don’t know if he’ll blanket just one of them. With many question marks between the other corners, I’d expect productive days from each of them.

Projection: Kupp- 70 yards, one touchdown. Cooks- 120 yards. Woods- 50 yards, one touchdown.
