Week 15 has an odd feel to it between cold weather games, divisional games and an inordinate number of games with a low Vegas total. All of this makes finding increased opportunities difficult and could make this a low scoring week in fantasy. I have a feeling that this week could be all about the running backs and defenses as the passing games have limited upside similar to last week when there was no standout QBs or WRs performances.

So let’s get right to the numbers and analysis…
Los Angeles Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
| Projected | Plays | Pass | Pass% | Pass Yards | Pass TD | Run | Run% | Rush Yards | Rush TD | Score |
| Los Angeles Rams | 62 | 39 | 62.9% | 221 | 1.0 | 23 | 37.1% | 74 | 0.6 | 12.6 |
| Seattle Seahawks | 60 | 35 | 58.3% | 303 | 1.8 | 25 | 41.7% | 139 | 1.1 | 22.1 |
Look for the Rams to pass more often this week as they are expected to be trailing the Seahawks in Seattle. The passing game will produce their typical passing yardage with their normal opportunity for one touchdown pass. The running game will fall just short of their normal rushing yardage with their typical chance for one rushing score. The Rams pass over 58% of the time in the red zone.
The Seahawks project to focus more on the running game this week at home as a big favorite. The passing game will still be effective throwing for more yards than normal with an increased chance for two touchdown passes. The running game will benefit from the extra carries to exceed their typical yardage with an increased likelihood for at least one touchdown run. The Seahawks run the ball over 58% of the time inside the 10 yard line.
Increased Opportunities:
- Russell Wilson and the Seahawks passing game (Doug Baldwin) (+)
- Thomas Rawls (++)
- Seahawks defense (+)
