Broncos vs. Rams Prediction
The 4:30 p.m. ET matchup between the Broncos and Rams on Christmas Day is one of the few games in Week 16 with zero playoff implications. That said, will Baker Mayfield still lead the Rams to an upset victory or at least an ATS win against Russell Wilson and Co.?

Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said Russell Wilson (concussion) is “full go” this week. It’s safe to assume Wilson will be listed as a full participant on all three practice reports before playing on Sunday. Wilson missed Week 15 with a concussion despite being cleared for action prior to kickoff. The team held him out as a precaution. Closing out a lost season as his first year in Denver, Wilson is not on the fantasy radar for Week 16.
Los Angeles Rams DFS Spin
Baker Mayfield completed 12-of-21 passes for 111 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the Rams’ 24-12, Week 14 loss to the Packers. Mayfield made some strong throws, but his decision-making issues continued to pop up in this game. The worst of them was a risky throw while under pressure that Packers linebacker Quay Walker nearly turned into a pick-six. Walker couldn’t corral the pass but had nothing but green grass ahead of him. Mayfield also took five sacks, some of which could have been avoided by throwing the ball away. He did manage his second touchdown as a Ram. This one was an end zone strike to Tyler Higbee. After two weak fantasy outings in LA, Baker will rank as a QB3 in a difficult matchup with the Broncos next week.
