Key Player Insights
Matthew Stafford is anticipated to have a standout performance, making him a fantasy must-start this week. Additionally, Rams running back Kyren Williams is expected to have significant carries, likely surpassing 14.5 rush attempts, given his average of 15.3 this season.
Receiver Performance Expectations
- Davante Adams: Projected receiving yards over 59.5
- Puka Nacua: Projected receiving yards over 89.5
Both Adams and Nacua are likely to benefit from the Buccaneers’ defensive vulnerabilities. Tampa Bay’s secondary, currently missing cornerback Jamel Dean, has allowed a high number of receiving yards, especially to outside receivers. Furthermore, the Buccaneers rank poorly in yards allowed after the catch, which could favor players like Nacua, known for his ability to gain yards post-reception.
Betting Trends
The Rams have shown a strong record as favorites, going 17-8 against the spread (ATS) since 2023 and winning four of their last five games. Conversely, Tampa Bay boasts a favorable road underdog record at 13-4 ATS since 2023, making this matchup particularly intriguing for betting enthusiasts.
