Russell Wilson can’t get much going against the Rams.

Los Angeles did an outstanding job of pressuring and getting to Wilson throughout the game, as the sacked Wilson seven times and didn’t let him scramble around and make huge plays down the field. Wilson was 14/30 for 142 yards and a touchdown, along with five carries for a team-high 39 yards. He also lost a fumble and had one of the weirdest plays you’ll ever see when he was getting spun around by a Rams defender and threw the ball about ten yards backward and out of bounds when he was trying to throw it away. The Rams always seem to do a nice job on Wilson, so there’s no reason to be alarmed heading into fantasy championships next week. Keep Wilson locked in lineups against Dallas.

JuJu Smith-Schuster’s late-game heroics come up short in heartbreaking loss to the Patriots.

Smith-Schuster caught six passes for 114 yards, with the highlight being a 69-yard catch-and-run on the final drive of the game to set Pittsburgh up for a potential game-tying field. A disastrous fake spike that resulted in an interception ended the game, though, as New England held on to win 27-24. JuJu should be a big part of the offense in Week 16 with Antonio Brown (calf) likely out until the playoffs, so the rookie could be a WR1 on Christmas against the Texans.

Derek Carrier catches one pass in Week 15.

He gained four yards on his one reception (two targets) and is not on the fantasy radar right now.

Tyler Higbee catches one pass in Week 15.

Higbee gained 12 yards on his lone reception, as the Rams didn’t need to throw the ball around much in their blowout victory at Seattle. Higbee isn’t a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

James Conner rushed three times for 13 yards in Week 15.

Conner doesn’t need to be owned in redraft leagues with just two weeks go in the regular season. The Steelers play the Texans on Christmas.

Sammy Watkins gets five targets against Seattle.

Watkins couldn’t get much going, catching two passes for 14 yards. However, it clearly hurt that the Rams threw for only 120 yards in the game, as they ran the Seahawks out of their own building in the 42-7 victory. Watkins doesn’t have any easy matchup next week against athletic corner Adoree’ Jackson and company for the Titans, but he’s still a good fantasy option on Christmas Eve.

Le’Veon Bell handles 29 touches in thrilling loss to New England.

Bell rushed 24 times for 117 yards and a touchdown, adding five receptions for 48 yards. Unfortunately, Big Ben threw an interception trying to get the win instead of throwing it out of bounds and playing for overtime, and the Patriots will probably have home-field advantage in the postseason because of it. Bell should be featured on Christmas Day against the Texans, and he will be the top option for the fantasy championship.
