Sunday Night Football Fantasy Fallout: Rams vs. Rams Fantasy Winners and Losers Buccaneers in Week 12
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-7 on Sunday Night Football on NBC in Week 12. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw three more touchdowns for the sixth time this season, totaling 273 passing yards and three touchdowns in a turnover-free performance. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. Advertisement The Rams (9-2) visit the Panthers (6-5) in Week 13, while the Buccaneers (6-5) host the Cardinals (3-8). Adams scored yet another short-yardage touchdown early in the game, beating Buccaneers cornerback Zyon McCollum on a fade route from a yard out. Later, Adams showed McCollum his long speed, breaking away from him at the line of scrimmage and running 24 yards downfield, en route to his second touchdown of the day. Puka Nacua WR, Rams: Seven catches and 97 yards on 11 targets. Nacua was typically efficient, splitting the Buccaneers’ coverage defenders with experienced routes on creative play designs. Colby Parkinson TE, Rams: Four catches, 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Parkinson now operates as the Rams’ No. 1 tight end, with tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve. Parkinson has scored a touchdown in three consecutive games. Before this year, he had never scored more than two in a single season.SNF Fantasy FlopsEmeka Egbuka WR, Buccaneers: Three catches and 32 yards on eight targets. Egbuka’s cold snap continues, and he could be stuck catching passes from backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in the near future. More on this below. Fellow rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson caught 3 of 4 targets for 21 yards and a touchdown, adding two carries for 12 yards. Johnson caught quarterback Baker Mayfield’s only touchdown pass before Mayfield left with a left shoulder injury. Mayfield targeted Egbuka about 40 yards downfield, inside the Rams’ five-yard line, but a Rams defense successfully broke up the pass. Kyren Williams RB, Rams: 46 yards rushing, one reception and two yards on target. Williams simply wasn’t needed in this one, with the Rams’ passing attack scoring three times before halftime, and the Rams’ defense recording a pick-six in the first quarter. The Rams’ other tight ends, Davis Allen (four) and Terrance Ferguson (one), totaled five more. The unit accounts for 29.4 percent of the team’s 34 targets tonight. Sean Tucker Usage and Results: Tucker rushed 12 times for 42 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for four yards. Fellow Buccaneers running back Rachaad White took a backseat to Tucker, as expected, rushing seven times for 38 yards and going 1-for-1 on targets from four yards out. Neither player stood out in the box score, but this was a disappointing result for Tucker, who stepped into the starting role by finishing as the overall RB1 in Week 11. Starting running back Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is expected to play next week. Injury WatchBaker Mayfield QB, Buccaneers: Mayfield injured his left non-throwing shoulder, taking a hard hit in the first half. He tried to play, but was visibly wincing in pain. He remained doubled over in pain as time expired after attempting one last pass downfield late in the second quarter. The Buccaneers briefly listed him as doubtful to return, but he was ruled out. Mayfield could be seen wearing a sling on his left shoulder, not throwing, while on the sideline in the second half. Mayfield already had surgery on the same left shoulder in January 2022. Before leaving, Mayfield threw for 41 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions and ran four times for 19 yards. Waiver Wire RadarBlake Corum RB, Rams: The fantasy playoffs are quickly approaching. If Rams running back Kyren Williams starts missing time, No. 2 running back Blake Corum could be the league’s winner. Corum helped the Rams’ offense get into the red zone on Parkinson’s touchdown, and the Rams kept Corum on the field throughout the red zone sequence, reflecting the coaching staff’s confidence in the young rusher. A Big Stat This is the second time in three games that Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has finished with exactly four receptions, 41 yards and a touchdown, having previously done so in Week 10 against the 49ers. Ironically, only the 49ers’ tight end group (11) has scored more touchdowns than the Rams’ tight end group (nine) this season.
