L.A. Rams @ Denver
Team Totals: Rams 23.5, Broncos 21.5
Denver’s defense strangled Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence, both of whom finished as top-seven options in their surrounding matchups, for a combined 57% completion rate (third) and 6.6 yards per attempt (10th); Mahomes only got there because he tacked on 8.3 points with his legs, which Matthew Stafford is incapable of doing. Through two weeks, Stafford’s YPA under pressure (3.2, 29th) is vastly different than when he’s been kept clean (10.4, third), and the Broncos have disrupted QBs at the league’s sixth-highest rate (40.6%). Find a streamer to use over him. … Both Kenneth Walker III (23/173/1) and Bhayshul Tuten (13/65/1) averaged 5 yards per pop against Denver’s front seven, the only “weakness” in that unit. Even Brandon Thorn ranked L.A.’s O-Line with the ninth-strongest matchup in Week 3, lending hope for Kyren Williams as an RB2 and teammate Blake Corum as an RB3/FLEX. Williams has the higher ceiling on one-game slates for out-targeting Corum 5 to 1.
