Los Angeles Rams DFS Spin
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford missed last week’s contest against the Cardinals with a concussion, but he practiced fully Wednesday and has been cleared for Sunday’s game. With that news, it’s safe to deploy a few different Los Angeles pass catchers in DFS.
Rams #1 wide receiver Cooper Kupp is out with a high ankle sprain that will require surgery, and he’s since been placed on injured reserve. This should mean an increase in targets for Los Angeles tight end Tyler Higbee. Higbee is second on the team in catches, targets, and yards, and should see the ball even more now that Cooper Kupp is out for an extended period.
New Orleans Saints DFS Spin
Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is reportedly healthy enough to play, but New Orleans is opting to stick with veteran journeyman Andy Dalton as the starting QB for Sunday’s game. This means there will be some risk involved if you elect to use New Orleans pass catchers like wide receiver Chris Olave or tight end Juwan Johnson.
The safe DFS play for New Orleans would likely be running back Alvin Kamara, especially since backup running back Mark Ingram is out for Sunday’s contest. Kamara leads the Saints in rushing yards (469) and is second on the club in receptions (39), and receiving yards (338). Alvin Kamara is averaging 18.9 touches per game this season, and he has a good chance of adding to his meager touchdown total (3) on Sunday.

Rams vs. Saints Prediction:
The New Orleans Saints have lost 4 of their last 5 games and have dropped 7 out of their last 9 contests. The Saints are 20th in points per play margin (-0.035) and 27th in yards per point margin (-2.9). The Saints’ decision to stick with Andy Dalton is a headscratcher, as he’s thrown more interceptions (3) than touchdowns (2) in the Saints’ past two games, which were both double-digit losses. Having Matthew Stafford back should help the Rams immensely and their offense should be able to move the ball even without star receiver Cooper Kupp. I think the Rams have the distinct coaching advantage in this game with their head man Sean McVay coaching against the Saints’ Dennis Allen who has a career record of 11-35. I’ll take the Rams and the points.
