Quarterbacks

Los Angeles and Miami lead their teams into the contest.

Stafford has completed 65.9% of his passes for 1,969 yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions. He has not added anything as a runner. Stafford has scored at least 18 points the last two weeks, which is in line with the Rams getting their top two receivers back.

Tagovailoa has completed 72.7% of his passes for 948 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. He has added 44 rushing yards. Since returning from his concussion, Tagovailoa has scored 33 points in two games.

This is a pretty average matchup for Tagovailoa as Los Angeles is allowing 16 fantasy points per game. competition. He is expected to get 19 fantasy points. It’s a tough matchup for Stafford as Miami allows just 12 points per game. match. He is expected to score 16 points.

If forced to make a decision between these two, I’d take Tagovailoa, but I’m not as high on him as the projections say. I think he’ll only outscore Stafford by a point or two, and it wouldn’t be too surprising to see Stafford score more tonight.

Running Backs

is the workhorse back for the Rams. is the only other running back with a touchdown in the past three games, and he has just nine in that span.

is the lead for Miami. has double-digit touches in three straight, while logging 13 touches over the past three contests.

Williams has rushed for 602 yards and eight touchdowns across 161 attempts this season. He has 116 receiving yards and two scores on 20 catches and 25 targets. Williams has scored in double figures as a fantasy player in every game and had scored at least once in every game prior to Week 9.

Corum has 72 rushing yards on 21 attempts this season while catching two passes for another 17 yards.

Achane has 420 rushing yards and two scores on 93 attempts this season. He has added 302 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 37 receptions and 42 targets. Since Tagovailoa’s return, Achane has scored 59 fantasy points over two games.

Mostert has 214 rushing yards and two scores on 55 attempts, along with 71 receiving yards on seven catches and nine targets. Mostert has scored 25 fantasy points in the past two weeks.

Wright has rushed for 208 yards, but no scores, on 42 attempts. He hasn’t caught a pass yet.

The matchup for the Rams’ running backs is very favorable as Miami allows 25 fantasy points per carry. match. Williams is projected to get 21 PPR fantasy points, while Corum has three. The Dolphins’ backs have an average matchup with LA giving up 22 points per week. Achane is expected to score 21 points, Mostert 10 and Wright not hitting the top 53.

I’d also take Williams first in the favorable matchup – he’s a must-start fantasy player regardless of matchup. Achane is another must-start player and should be putting on a good fantasy show again tonight.

I like Mostert afterwards. He was a flex-level option this week, but is a safer play in deeper leagues.

Wright also comes ahead of Corum in my eyes. Neither are real fantasy starting options tonight (outside of the deepest of leagues).

Wide receivers

and will lead the Rams’ wideouts in this one. and was on the injury report, but are both active. and are a few other options.

is Miami’s best wideout, but he is questionable with a wrist injury for the rest of the week. , Jr. and are the only other receivers to play in each of the last three games.

Kupp has 302 yards and two touchdowns across 34 receptions and 49 targets this season. He has 22 goals over the past two weeks, 14 of which came a week ago.

Nacua has 152 yards on 12 catches and 17 targets this season. He has 13 goals over the last two games, with last week’s outing cut short by a sending-off.

Robinson went for 94 yards and two scores on six carries and nine targets with Nacua out for much of last week’s game. He had six goals in the previous two weeks.

Johnson had five goals in that game, but just one in the week in which Nacua and Kupp returned. Atwell had three goals last week, and two the week before that.

Hill has 446 yards, but just one score, on 34 catches and 55 targets this season. Since Tagovailoa’s return, Hill has 14 goals over two games.

Waddle has 310 yards and a touchdown across 28 catches and 38 targets. He has eight goals over the past two weeks but had just two last week.

Beckham has 15 yards on three catches and seven targets this season. He got three of those goals last week. No other Miami wideout had a goal last week.

It’s a slightly above-average matchup for the Dolphins’ wideouts, with LA allowing 34 fantasy points per game. match. Miami’s defense is allowing just 26 points on the week, one of the best marks in the league entering Week 10.

Kupp is projected to get 17 PPR points, while Nacua is at 16 and Hill 15. Waddle has 11 points while Robinson checks in with eight. No other wideouts crack the top 54.

If Hill is able to fit, I actually like him best in tonight’s game, although Nacua and Kupp are very close. I like Nacua to surpass Kupp, but again just a little.

Waddle is next for me and I wouldn’t mind giving him a flex start in a standard league given the matchup – I’d be much better off playing him in a deeper league though. If Hill is out, I think Waddle should be pretty sure starting in all leagues.

Robinson, Whittington, Beckham, Johnson, Atwell is how I’d round things out, but they’re all just deep league prospects in my eyes. If Hill is out, I’d bump Beckham over Whittington and Robinson, but I still don’t want to start Beckham outside of deeper leagues.

Tight ends

is the best fantasy TE for the Dolphins. He has 302 yards and a touchdown on 30 catches and 40 targets. Smith has six goals in each of the last two weeks.

is the best LA tight end. He has 214 yards on 23 receptions and 36 targets this season. Parkinson has just four goals over the past three games, with zero coming in last week’s contest.

It’s a favorable matchup for Smith, with LA allowing 15 fantasy points per game. match. Smith is projected to get 11 PPR fantasy points. Miami is giving up 10 fantasy points a game, which is a below average matchup for Parkinson. The tight end in LA is only projected for five fantasy points.

Smith is also my favorite fantasy tight end tonight and I like him more than many of the receivers and a few running backs. I would avoid playing Parkinson in any league if I could.

Kickers

kicks for LA while being the Miami kicker.

Karty is 11-of-13 on his field goals and 15-of-17 on his extra points. Sanders is 14-of-18 on his field goals and has made all 10 extra points.

Sanders and Karty are both expected to get seven fantasy points. I like Karty a bit more tonight but wouldn’t mind playing either.

Defense/Special Teams

So far this season, the Rams are allowing 360.8 yards and 24.3 points per game. Miami is giving up 303.1 yards and 23.4 points.

Los Angeles has 11 takeaways and nine giveaways this season. The Dolphins have just six takeaways and nine giveaways.

Both defenses are rated for six fantasy points. I’ve been going back and forth on this game all week, but I think the Rams will get the job done. I still wouldn’t mind playing either D/ST tonight.
