The Week 10 Monday Night Football matchup features division rivals in the NFC West — the Los Angeles Rams (7-2) visiting the San Francisco 49ers (3-5). Rams are 3.5-point favorites and the over/under has moved up from 45.5 at open to where it currently sits at 50.5. Niners’ coach Kyle Shanahan seems to have Rams’ Sean McVay’s number. San Francisco has won each of their last four matchups these last two seasons making tonight, interesting.
The Rams lost stud wideout Robert Woods (ACL) for the season but signed the enigmatic Odell Beckham Jr. Football fans and fantasy players everywhere eagerly anticipate his Rams’ debut Monday.
Top MNF Plays
Cooper Kupp, WR, Los Angeles Rams (1.1x score multiplier)
Kupp has taken the fantasy world by storm, leading all NFL receivers in yards per game (113.2), touchdowns (10), 100-yard receiving games (five) and red-zone targets (22). His rapport with QB Matthew Stafford is special and undeniable. As the Rams adjust to life without Woods and slowly incorporate Beckham, it should be very clear who the primary beneficiary of tonight’s game should be. Kupp is a no-brainer inclusion in Champion Mode lineups and will be very heavily utilized by the field.
Deebo Samuel, WR, San Francisco 49ers (1.4x)
Samuel has taken his game to the next level as one of the most dynamic wideouts in football. He and Kupp are the only two pass-catchers averaging over 100 receiving yards per game, and Samuel is the only guy this season to surpass 150 receiving yards three times. He leads the league in YAC (482, 9.8 per game) and has commanded 31.5 percent of team targets. A week removed from a minor heel injury and with a healthy George Kittle back to keep the Rams’ defense honest, Samuel should be ready for another eruption. Heading into Week 10, only two teams allowed more receptions to wide receivers (130) than the Rams.
Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams (1x)
In the midst of an MVP-worthy season, Stafford is one of just three signal-callers to average over 300 passing yards per game, ranks third in yards per attempt (8.6) and boasts a phenomenal 23:6 TD:INT ratio through nine games. Opposing lines have trouble making him uncomfortable in the pocket as his 3.6% sack rate is the league’s third best mark. The 49ers allow the seventh-most SuperDraft fantasy points to enemy quarterbacks (23.3) and with this game projected to be a tight affair, the Rams will very likely have to keep Stafford involved through all four quarters.
Champion Rankings:
1. Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams (1.65x)
2. Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers (2.1x)
3. Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams (1.5x)
