Fantasy Football Week 16: 5 Los Angeles Rams to Consider For Championship Week

4. Rams’ Defense

Last year, it was the defense that played a big part in the team finishing with seven wins on the season as the offense ranked near the bottom of the league, which is no surprise when seeing some of the weapons they had to work with. With high expectations for the defense at the beginning of the year when it comes to being the strength of this team, Los Angeles has performed for the most part, despite some bumps throughout the regular season.

Aaron Donald continues to prove he’s a defensive star on the rise as the defensive tackle has been a nightmare for opponents all season with seven sacks to go along with two forced fumbles. After seeing how much of a disappointment the 49ers have been all season on offense, there’s a good chance Donald and company will rack up plenty of fantasy points in Week 16.

Don’t be fooled by what took place between these two teams opening weekend as it seemed like the Rams let the jitters of playing in their first game get the best of them. If all goes according to plan, Los Angeles will be one of the top sleeper defenses to monitor for championship weekend in fantasy football.
