The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams will meet for the final time during the regular season on Monday Night Football. Arizona blew out the Rams by 17 points in Week 4, as running backs James Conner and Chase Edmonds combined for over 200 scrimmage yards and two scores. Knowing the type of game plan a team wants to deploy will be a major help when constructing your NFL DFS lineups.
How will the Rams counteract the Cardinals’ run-heavy offense? Matthew Stafford had 41 pass attempts in Week 4 against the Cardinals, his second-most this season. Perhaps L.A. will look for more balance this time around, which would also increase the value of its running backs in the NFL DFS player pool.

Top NFL DFS picks for Rams vs. Cardinals
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Rams receiver Cooper Kupp. The NFL’s leading receiver was limited in practice leading up to Monday’s game, but head coach Sean McVay said he’s not worried about Kupp being restricted versus the Cardinals.
By leading the league in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, Kupp is on pace to become the fourth Triple Crown receiver in the Super Bowl era. His season-low of 64 yards came against the Cardinals in Week 4, but his season-low still being 64 yards shows just how special a season Kupp is having. Robert Woods and Van Jefferson found the end zone against Arizona in that game, so the Cardinals can be exploited through the air.
McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who returned last week after missing three games due to injury and scored his eighth touchdown of the season. Despite missing one-quarter of the season, Hopkins still ranks fourth in the NFL in receiving touchdowns.
Hopkins hasn’t been quite as prolific this year due to all of the playmakers in Arizona’s offense, but he’s still bankable around the end zone. Inside the 10-yard-line, Hopkins has four TD catches, which is more than A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore combined. Thus, he clearly has the attention of quarterback Kyler Murray approaching the goal line.
