On a short week against their division rival Seahawks, Davante Adams is trending as doubtful for the game.
The Rams are first in both the NFC and in the NFC West at 11-3. In a pivotal match that will break a tie with the 11-3 Seahawks, the Rams expect to be without wide receiver Davante Adams.
Adams has been a menace in the red zone as he leads the league in red zone targets with 32 and in total touchdowns at 14. Adams is dealing with both a knee and hamstring injury. In a short week, he is listed as doubtful. Expect standout receiver Puka Nacua to get increased usage while the Rams utilize the running back duo of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum.

After extended struggles, the Dolphins will turn from Tua Tagovailoa to rookie Quinn Ewers.
The 6-10 Dolphins have been eliminated from playoff contention. Amid quarterback struggles from Tua Tagovailoa, head coach Mike McDaniel has decided to turn to rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers.
Tua’s 12.6 fantasy points per game rank 31st and he is 2nd in interceptable passes with 20. In turning to Ewers, the Dolphins are hoping to find some answers for 2026. The Dolphins are in an unenviable spot as being cut in the offseason would lead to a $99.2 million dead cap hit. While his stock is plummeting for fantasy, expect the subject of the Dolphins quarterback room to be a hot offseason story.

Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane goes over the century mark for the sixth straight game in their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
De’Von Achane continued to be the Miami Dolphins most consistent offensive producer, putting up 127 total scrimmage yards in their 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was the sixth straight game that Achane reached at least 100 scrimmage yards.
Tua Tagovailoa threw for 253 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Darren Waller was the star pass catcher, grabbing seven passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns.
Achane remains one the most consistent and reliable running backs in fantasy football, he’s an elite running back one and should always be in starting lineups.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell led the way in the backfield in the 28-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Running back Kenneth Gainwell led the Pittsburgh Steelers in rushing with 13 carries for 80 yards in their victory over the Miami Dolphins. Gainwell also added seven receptions for 46 yards in the passing game.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns. D.K. Metcalf led the team in receiving with 55 yards and one touchdown while Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught Rodgers other touchdown pass but that was his only catch.
Gainwell seems to be making this backfield a 50/50 split with Jaylen Warren and remains a solid flex option for fantasy managers. Metcalf is a decent flex option too but does have a higher ceiling when Rodgers is this efficient.

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Minnesota Vikings 34-26 but wide receiver CeeDee Lamb cleared 100 receiving yards.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had 111 receiving yards on six receptions in their loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Lamb was the only Cowboys pass catcher to have more than six targets.
Besides Lamb the Dallas pass catchers underwhelmed, no one else had more than 40 yards despite Dak Prescott throwing for 294 yards. Javonte Williams took 15 carries for 91 yards and a score, while Malik Davis handled eight carries and scored a touchdown.
The Cowboys are on the brink of playoff elimination but Prescott continues to put up solid numbers and Lamb and George Pickens can have a big game on any given week while Williams remains a good running back two for fantasy managers.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson once again put up a dud in their 34-26 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Justin Jefferson recorded only two receptions for 22 yards as the Minnesota Vikings beat the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night. Jefferson did get eight targets but was unable to capitalize on that volume.
Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson led the team with 66 receiving yards apiece and Jalen Nailor caught two touchdowns. J.J. McCarthy had one of his better games this year, throwing for 250 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Aaron Jones led the team in rushing with just 34 yards.
McCarthy showing improvement in recent games is good news for the Vikings offense as a whole but he still is having a hard time getting on the same page as Jefferson.
