The Los Angeles Rams were reigning Super Bowl champions last season. However, the 2022 season was a nightmare for Sean McVay and the Rams.
Los Angeles got embarrassed on national television in Week 1. They lost at home to the Buffalo Bills 31-10. While the team won two consecutive games, things went downhill from there.
Following their 2-1 start, the Rams lost eight of their next nine games. While Los Angeles ended the year winning two of their final five contests, the team had a 5-12 record last season. Will things be better this year? Let’s look at Los Angeles’ 2023 season and the fantasy outlook.

Who Do The Los Angeles Rams Face At Home In 2023?
The Rams have eight home games this season, including three against their divisional rivals. They face the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 2, the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6, and the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11.
Los Angeles’ first home game of the year is against San Francisco in Week 2. While the team’s offense struggled in 2022, Cooper Kupp was a fantasy superstar, averaging 18.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game last year before suffering a season-ending ankle injury. The superstar wide receiver caught 22 of his 31 targets for 201 receiving yards and a touchdown in the two matchups against the division rivals last season.
Unfortunately, the Rams have a challenging early season schedule. Their first two home opponents are the 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. Those two teams met in the NFC Championship Game last year.
Who Do The Los Angeles Rams Face On The Road In 2023?
Los Angeles starts the 2023 season on the road in Seattle. While the Seahawks won both matchups against the Rams last year, Cam Akers was outstanding for fantasy players. The young running back had 38 rushing attempts for 164 yards and two touchdowns in the two matchups against the division rivals in 2022.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles faces the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4. The Colts were one of the friendliest teams to running backs last season. Between the Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks and the Week 4 matchup against the Colts, fantasy players should expect Akers to get off to a hot start this year.
