Welcome to Week 10 of the 2026 Footballguys Roundtable. Our intrepid panel of fantasy pundits discusses and debates four topics every week. We split the conversation into separate features.
This week's roundtable features these four topics:
- Rest of the Season Pick'em
- WR Dart Throws on the Los Angeles Rams
- Dart Throws on the Arizona Cardinals
- Tank Dell and Kayshon Boutte
Let's roll...
Matt Waldman: Give me one WR you're upgrading to a potential fantasy asset as at least a flex play. Then, tell me how you see this offense playing out without its top two receivers.
Ryan Weisse: Sometimes the obvious answer is the best one, and I could see Konata Mumpfield as a fantasy flex for the next few weeks. He is currently third among Rams' receivers in targets, and 10 of his 23 targets came when Nacua missed Weeks 2-3. That includes an eight-target game in Week 3, when he finished WR17 in fantasy against the Broncos.
Mumpfield has decent size and speed, and he is averaging over 14 yards per catch this season. That is likely to come down as his volume goes up, but he is the most accomplished weapon at Stafford's disposal for at least the next two or three games.
As for the offense, you're going to see more running back and tight end targets for sure. Through nine games, Kyren Williams is only four targets away from his career high. He should see a big boost while the team waits on Davante Adams.
The tight ends are already heavily involved, 90 targets in nine games, and those numbers should tick up too. You cannot continue to run three-receiver sets when your receivers are Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington. It will be a step back for Stafford, and a big step up for Williams and Blake Corum.
Andy Hicks: Without the top two receivers, this wide receiver unit has to have a massive downgrade. The obvious choices are Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell. They were both getting 50 percent of the snap share with Nacua in the lineup, well ahead of any other receiver. Picking one of those two is boring, predictable, and sensible.
Let’s go big with not Jordan Whittington, but the rookie CJ Daniels. Daniels was a sixth-round pick who was expected to sit and learn, as most Rams rookies do. He caught 15 passes in preseason and was praised by the Rams GM after his draft selection for his route running and feel for the game. He has only seen six snaps this season, all in the last three weeks, and it’s time for the team to see if he can be the player they need.
With the remaining wide receivers a question mark, the answer for the Rams is obviously to target their more credentialed tight ends and running backs. It is possible a wide receiver arrives from the shadows, but the safer options are Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson. It's time for the team to see if he can be the player they need.
Darin Tietgen: Can we pick a tight end? Because it very well may be Terrance Ferguson that ends up being the beneficiary here.
