Case Keenum-QB-Los Angeles Rams

While Marcus Mariota had another good game, the most surprising QB performance from he fantasy football sleepers came from Case Keenum of the Rams who went off against the Lions. Detroit was allowing the most fantasy points in the NFL to opposing QB’s before this game, and they continued to be QB fodder on a weekly basis.

Even before this game, Keenum has been quietly better lately with over 250 yards the last two weeks. However, there weren’t many signs that he would suddenly go off for 321 yards like he did on Sunday. Keenum completed 27 of his 32 passes and threw for three touchdowns. He added a fourth touchdown on the ground in his first rushing score of the season.

Unfortunately for Rams’ fans, Keenum’s breakthrough ended with a thud since he wasn’t able to get the team in position for a winning score and threw a bad interception to finish the contest. I’m not a big fan of him going forward, but it is worth noting how shreddable the Lions secondary is.
