Fantasy Impact: Lucas has been sidelined all season for a knee injury. When he is healthy, his return will be a huge upgrade for the Seahawks offensive line.

Fantasy Impact: Metcalf has missed the past two games for Seattle. He should be ready to return for Sundays game against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: Edwards was suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He should return to his starting role where he had recorded two sacks.

The Seahawks claimed DL Brandon Pili off waivers from the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Pili was recently waived by Miami. He figures to hold a depth role on the defensive line for Seattle.

The Seahawks placed K'Von Wallace on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: Wallace has been in a depth role for Seattle this season at safety. He'll miss the next four games.

The Rams' D/ST totaled three sacks, one interception, and one fumble recovery while allowing 23 points in Monday night's loss to the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Los Angeles suffered a loss at the hands of the Dolphins on Monday night, and part of the blame should be put on their defense. They allowed 23 points, but outside of that, they did well by forcing multiple turnovers and handing their offense a number of favorable situations. This unit should be a solid fantasy option next week in a matchup against the Patriots.

Joshua Karty made 5-of-6 field goals in Monday night's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Karty saw a lot of involvement on Monday night. He had six opportunities over the course of the night, and he ended up being responsible for all of Los Angeles' 15 points as a team. His missed field goal was less than ideal, but fantasy managers should still be well pleased with this performance from him.

Davis Allen caught five passes for 34 yards in Monday's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Allen had his best game of the season on Monday night. He set a season-high in targets, receptions, and receiving yards against the Dolphins, but it still didn't lead to a strong fantasy total on the night. He has potential as a player, but fantasy managers shouldn't have much for expectations for him for the rest of the season.

Blake Corum rushed the ball two times for eight yards and caught one pass for seven yards in Monday's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie once again took a backseat on Monday. He saw just three touches over the course of the night, as opposed to Kyren Williams, who saw a total of 20 touches throughout the game. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for Corum over the back half of the season, even if his workload increases.

Demarcus Robinson caught 1-of-5 targets for 23 yards in Monday's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson was targeted five times over the course of the game on Monday, but he was only able to bring in one of those passes for a 23-yard gain. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much out of him whenever Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are both healthy and in the lineup for Los Angeles.

Puka Nacua caught 9-of-14 targets for 98 yards in Monday night's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Nacua was heavily involved on Monday night. He got targeted 14 times over the course of the night, which was twice as much as the next closest player. He was able to turn that into nine receptions for a team-high 98 yards, so fantasy managers should be well pleased with this performance out of the second-year stud.

Cooper Kupp hauled in seven passes for 80 yards in Monday night's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Kupp caught all of his targets on Monday night and was able to turn that into 80 yards. That left him with a nice fantasy total on the night, especially in PPR formats. Puka Nacua will continue to see a lot of Los Angeles' targets, but fantasy managers should expect the 31-year old to continue to perform well over the back half of the season, provided that he stays healthy.

Kyren Williams rushed the ball 15 times for 62 yards and caught five passes for 20 yards in Monday night's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Williams had somewhat of an underwhelming game on Monday night. He wasn't able to get into the end zone at all and lost a fumble, which contributed to Los Angeles' eventual loss at the hands of the Dolphins. Still, he got most of the work in the Rams' backfield, and he should be able to bounce back at some point in the near future.

Matthew Stafford completed 32-of-46 passing attempts for 293 yards and one interception in Monday night's 23-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Monday wasn't a great showing for Stafford and the Rams. He ended the game with nearly 300 passing yards, but he failed to score a touchdown and also threw a pick. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be down for long with Los Angeles' offense finally healthy for the first time since the beginning of the season.
