CAPTAIN: Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams ($14,700)
The weather conditions are supposed to be awful, which should lead to a lot of running the football. Since Seattle splits the carries pretty evenly amongst their rushers, Kyren Williams has to be our captain pick.
FLEX: Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams ($12,000)
With Davante Adams out, Nacua can become a man possessed. He has gone off for nearly 350 receiving yards and two touchdowns over the last two games, scoring over 30 fantasy points in each game. We don't think he'll put up the same numbers tonight, but he should still go for at least 20 fantasy points.
FLEX: Colby Parkinson, Los Angeles Rams ($5,400)
With some rainy, windy conditions, Matthew Stafford could end up checking the ball down at a much higher rate than normal. Parkinson is also enjoying an incredible run of form, having scored six touchdowns over his last six games. After going for 5/75/2 last week, Parkinson proved he can be Stafford's preferred second option in the passing game, and $5,400 is an insane bargain.
FLEX: Rashid Shaheed, Seattle Seahawks ($6,600)
Shaheed has come over and instantly transformed the Seahawks, mostly on special teams. Over the last couple of games, he's become an integral part of the passing game as well. He should get a handful of receptions tonight and is a big threat to take one to the house as a returner.
FLEX: Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks ($6,200)
Though Charbonnet is technically the Seahawks' backup running back, he's been their force around the goal line, scoring a tasty eight rushing touchdowns this season. Especially in the wind and the rain, Charbonnet could explode tonight. We wouldn't be surprised to see him go off for 50+ yards and two touchdowns.
FLEX: Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams ($4,800)
With our final selection, with $5,100 left in the bank, we went with Blake Corum, a slim choice over the Rams defense. Corum has become an integral part of the Rams' offence over the last couple of weeks, and we think he should have enough success tonight.
