Sam Howell Week 18 Outlook - Rams at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Jan 8th 2023, 12:05pm EST

Howell makes his first NFL start this week. He's an interesting GPP play. In the preseason, he ranked ninth in yards per attempt and seventh in aDOT, so Howell has no issues pushing the ball downfield. Add in his three preseason carries for 94 rushing yards, and we have a cheap Konami quarterback to cling to on this slate. Since Week 14, Dallas has struggled to defend the pass, with injuries crippling their secondary. They have been 30th in success rate per dropback, 29th in EPA per drop back, and 25th in explosive pass rate allowed. Howell will make it onto one of my three max teams this week.
