Fantasy Football Player Notes

The math is simple: this season, Puka and Davante Adams have been the best receiver tandem in the league. Plus, Matthew Stafford is having an MVP-worthy season. As a result, if one of these two misses time, the other should explode. With Adams missing last week with a hamstring injury, Puka popped for 225 yards and two scores in their overtime loss. Adams' availability is still up in the air; however, Puka is the WR1 regardless of his availability. However, if he does miss, we could see another championship-worthy performance in the last game of the fantasy season.

Losing a thriller to the Seahawks last week means this Rams team will be giving it all they have right to the end of the season. This includes riding their two backs all the way to the finish line. Last week, in what may have been their biggest game of the season, Williams played 71% of snaps. This was the first time he had hit that mark since Week 6. Clearly, their most trusted guy, Williams, may see more work in these must-win games. This week's matchup is against the Falcons, who are near league average against running backs. Keep riding the lead back on an elite offense, but don't be surprised if Blake Corum steals some important carries.

Since Week 12, Blake Corum has been the RB9 in fantasy points per game, averaging 11.5 touches and 86 total yards with five scores. Among 48 qualifying backs, Corum ranks fifth in explosive run rate and ninth in missed tackle rate. Corum is a strong flex this week with RB2 upside if he gets into the endzone again. Since Week 12, Atlanta has allowed the fifth-highest missed tackle rate while ranking 15th in explosive run rate and 14th in rushing success rate allowed.
