Rams Defense Tough To Trust In Week 16

Rams Defense Tough To Trust In Week 16

11 months ago

The Los Angeles Rams' defense is not an appealing fantasy football option against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. This unit has become heavily dependent on matchups this season, and to put it simply, New Orleans doesn't make enough mistakes to justify inserting Los Angeles into your lineups. Defenses are averaging 8.0 fantasy points against the Saints this year, which is the 10th-lowest mark in the league. Furthermore, the Saints' offense has hit its stride, scoring 24-plus points in six of its last eight games. Thursday Night Football could end up being a higher-scoring affair with clean football on both sides, making the Rams a relatively unappealing option during the fantasy playoffs in Week 16.
