Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has already gashed the Rams twice this season, totaling 167 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and strong receiving production.

FantasyBroz Take:
With Zach Charbonnet out, Walker is in line for a massive workload. Seattle will lean on him early and often in a game where controlling tempo is critical.

Tight end AJ Barner posted 14 catches, 119 yards, and a touchdown across two regular-season meetings with the Rams.

FantasyBroz Take:
Barner isn’t sneaking up on anyone anymore. Expect Los Angeles to game-plan for him, but his role in Seattle’s passing attack remains secure.

Kyren Williams has been increasingly involved as a receiver, catching at least three passes in four of his last five games.

Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is expected to be ready for offseason activities following knee surgery.
