NFC West

Arizona Cardinals - Sherfield Comes Through

Quarterback: Josh Rosen (100%)

Running Back: David Johnson (89%), Chase Edmonds (14%)

Wide Receivers: Larry Fitzgerald (96%), Trent Sherfield (93%), J.J. Nelson (69%), Jalen Tolliver (17%)

Tight End: Ricky Seals-Jones (63%), Jermaine Gresham (43%), John Phillips (10%)

While Trent Sherfield was on the field for 93% of the Arizona Cardinals' snaps, he didn't do much with them for most of the game. Good thing the games are 60 minutes and not 55. Sherfield bailed out those who used him in daily leagues with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, eking out some fantasy relevancy in an otherwise poor week. He saw five targets, however, which bodes well for his use in the meaningless (for Arizona) final two weeks of the regular season.

Los Angeles Rams - Reynolds Doing His Best Kupp

Quarterback: Jared Goff (100%)

Running Backs: Todd Gurley (83%)

Wide Receivers: Robert Woods (100%), Brandin Cooks (100%), Josh Reynolds (99%)

Tight Ends: Tyler Higbee (55%), Gerald Everett (45%)

Well, that may be stretching it a bit far. Josh Reynolds has a lot to prove before he can be put in the same sentence with Cooper Kupp, though this week's performance helped start him on that road to Kupp-like glory. Reynolds saw 12 targets in Week 15, second only to Todd Gurley. With cake matchups and must needed wins against the Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers coming up, we should see more of Reynolds soon.

San Francisco 49ers - Mullens, the Seahawk Slayer

Quarterback: Nick Mullens (100%)

Running Backs: Kyle Juszczyk (74%), Matt Breida (73%), Jeff Wilson (19%)

Wide Receivers: Dante Pettis (92%), Kendrick Bourne (74%), Trent Taylor (24%), Marquise Goodwin (11%)

Tight Ends: George Kittle (95%), Garrett Celek (27%)

Let's just take a minute to note that Nick Mullens' 689 passing yards against the Seahawks this season is the most that the Hawks have given up to any quarterback...ever. Yup, ever. Next up on that list are Ken Stabler, John Elway, Dan Fouts, and Kurt Warner.

Seattle Seahawks - Davis Downtick?

Quarterback: Russell Wilson (100%)

Running Backs: Chris Carson (52%), Mike Davis (44%)

Wide Receivers: Tyler Lockett (91%), Doug Baldwin (81%), David Moore (77%), Jaron Brown (16%)

Tight Ends: Ed Dickson (61%), Nick Vannett (27%)

Mike Davis saw 44% of the team's snaps this week, but that's only due to the absence of Rashaad Penny. If Penny is back--which isn't yet set in stone--expect Davis' snap share to drop back to the 25-30% range it had been in when Penny was playing.
