Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell rushed one time for a loss of four yards and caught two of his four targets for seven yards in the Week 18 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old had far from his best performance to close out the 2023 regular season, but the Rams ultimately won and stayed healthy on Sunday. Atwell produced a few spike weeks to begin the season, but he's been silent in fantasy football with the return of Cooper Kupp and the emergence of Demarcus Robinson. He's a cheap DFS dart throw against the Detroit Lions in the playoffs this week, but he's not worth consideration in playoff fantasy leagues.
Los Angeles Rams running back Ronnie Rivers started and put together a solid performance in the team's 21-20 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Rivers rushed the ball 13 times for 52 yards but was not targeted in the pass game. With the team resting running back Kyren Williams for their wildcard game next week, Rivers was ahead of both Zach Evans and Royce Freeman in the backfield. Despite being the clear backup behind Williams, the undrafted second-year player should not be considered an option in any formats when they face the Detroit Lions next week.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua played more than expected in the team's Week 18 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Nacua caught four of his six targets for 41 yards and a first-quarter touchdown. While the rest of the starters on the team sat, Nacua was active to make some history. The 5th-round rookie had to play into the second half but eventually broke the single-season rookie yardage and reception records. He ended his historic season with 105 receptions for 1486 receiving yards and six touchdowns. As always, Nacua should be considered in all DFS lineups as he faces the Detroit Lions next week.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as doubtful and was trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices. Davis Allen will step up as the Rams' top tight end, but he remains off the fantasy radar considering Los Angeles is starting Carson Wentz at quarterback.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen will have immense opportunity in Week 18 with Tyler Higbee (shoulder) out against the San Francisco 49ers. Higbee missed one game this season Allen took full advantage of it. The 5th-round-rookie caught four of his five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown during Higbee's Week 14 absence against the Baltimore Ravens. Allen showed his dominant receiving ability while at Clemson, which was the leading reason why the Rams drafted him. Strongly consider the first-year tight end as a DFS play and low-end TE1 in fantasy leagues this week.
