Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers

Since Week 8, the Rams have shown a unique pace with a 21st rank in neutral pace but a sixth-highest neutral rushing rate. With Brock Purdy back, the 49ers have slowed down, having the slowest neutral pace and a fourth-highest neutral rushing rate.

When it comes to Rams players, Matthew Stafford has been rejuvenated since Week 8. Among 32 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks tenth in yards per attempt, first in passing touchdowns (tied), sixth in passer rating, and fourth in hero throw rate. If he can perform well against the Bills' pass defense, he should have a strong outing against the 49ers.

Patrick Taylor Jr. could be a key player. If Isaac Guerendo is active, Taylor Jr. will share the load. But if Guerendo is out, Taylor Jr. should be the team's workhorse with 15-20 touches and a lock on goal line work, making him a RB2.

Jauan Jennings has been on fire since Week 10, ranking as the WR8 in fantasy points per game. The Rams' single-high defense hasn't stopped him, with a 30% target share and a 33.9% first-read share.

Miami Dolphins vs. Houston Texans

With Tua Tagovailoa back, Miami has had the second-slowest neutral pace and ranked sixth in neutral passing rate. Since Week 11, Houston has been 22nd in neutral pace with the fifth-highest neutral passing rate.

Tua Tagovailoa has been performing well since his return in Week 8, ranking fourth in passing touchdowns, second in passer rating, seventh in CPOE, and second in highly accurate throw rate.

Tyreek Hill has been a force since Tagovailoa's return, with a 20.5% target share and a 23.4% first-read share. He had a great performance last week and could do it again this week.

Jonnu Smith has been on fire, ranking as the TE6 in fantasy points per game with an 18.6% target share and a 22.8% first-read share.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cleveland Browns

With Jameis Winston under center, Cleveland has ranked third in neutral pace and neutral passing rate. During the same period, the Chiefs have been ninth in neutral pace and second in neutral passing rate.

Patrick Mahomes II is the QB14 in fantasy points per game, with QB1 performances in three of his last six games. He should have a good game against Cleveland's struggling pass defense.

Isiah Pacheco's ramp-up has begun. Last week, he played 46% of the snaps and had 16 touches. He has a good matchup this week to boost his efficiency numbers.

DeAndre Hopkins has been consistent, with a 57.8% route share and a 17.6% target share. He has six red-zone targets in his last six games and could have a big game.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Carolina Panthers

Since Week 12, Dallas has ranked 11th in neutral pace and 16th in neutral passing rate. In their last three games, Carolina has been sixth in neutral pace and 12th in neutral passing rate.

Bryce Young has shown potential in recent weeks, ranking 27th in yards per attempt and passer rating since Week 12. He could have another good game this week.

Chuba Hubbard is the RB15 in fantasy points per game, with good numbers in snap share, opportunity share, and red zone touches.

Rico Dowdle has been a revelation since Week 12, playing at least 61% of the snaps and averaging 22 touches. He should have another strong game.
