New Orleans Saints DFS Spin
Saints RT Ryan Ramczyk (knee) will not play in Week 16 against the Rams. Per Dennis Allen, Ramczyk, who missed Week 15 with the knee injury, didn’t suffer a new injury and is still dealing with the lingering knee issue that has plagued him in recent years. The hope is that the weeks off will allow him to return sooner rather than later. Landon Young took his spot in the lineup last week and will likely do so again versus the Rams.
Los Angeles Rams DFS Spin
Kyren Williams rushed 27 times for 152 yards and one touchdown in the Rams’ Week 15 win over the Commanders, adding five receptions for three additional yards. It was a horrific receiving day for Williams, although fantasy managers won’t be mad about the PPR scam he pulled off. The lack of receiving yards didn’t matter, however, as Williams surpassed 140 rushing yards for the third time this season. He averaged a strong 5.6 yards per carry on his attempts and punched in a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter for his only score of the day. Williams continues to look like a true league winner for fantasy managers. He’ll be an RB1 in Week 16 against the Saints.
