The Wake Forest product […]

Andrew Whitworth Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) has returned to practice. Whitworth went down with a torn MCL and hasn't played since the Week 10 win over the Seahawks.

Disaster Recovery - Week 16's Studs Turned Duds

Coming up big in Week 16 could make a fantasy manager your fan for life. Alvin Kamara certainly won leagues and hearts all over the world with his Week 16 outing. So did Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen, and others. These guys weren't under-the-radar players forced into the lineups with fingers crossed. These were […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Most fantasy leagues have been decided after 16 grueling weeks of gridiron action but there are always exceptions. Many will berate the idea of playing through Week 17 when many teams rest their starters but I applaud it. A real fantasy championship should be earned even in the toughest situations. Since 2020 has been an […]

Week 16 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Quarterback was a crazy position to navigate in Week 16. Tom Brady saw just 30 minutes of action against the Lions and still managed to finish as QB-2 and Andy Dalton, who is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues shredded the Eagles Defense to finish as QB-3. Mitch Trubisky accounted for three touchdowns, finishing as QB-7, […]

The Los Angeles Rams plan on signing quarterback Blake Bortles off the Denver Broncos practice squad with Jared Goff (thumb) unlikely to play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Cardinals after having surgery to fix a broken and dislocated right thumb on Monday night. With Goff likely out until the playoffs (if […]

Jared Goff Has Surgery On Thumb; Unlikely To Play In Week 17

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery to correct the broken thumb on his throwing hand Monday, making it highly unlikely that he is cleared in time to take the field Sunday versus Arizona.

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ankle) is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Seahawks, making it unlikely that he plays in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Cardinals, according to a source.

Malcolm Brown (RB, LAR) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The gate of opportunity appears to have opened as wide as possible for Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown.

John Wolford Likely To Start In Week 17

Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback John Wolford is likely to be the starter in Week 17 against the Cardinals after Jared Goff (thumb) suffered a potentially season-ending broken and dislocated thumb in the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks.

Cooper Kupp Is Solid In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp played exactly as expected in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks with a safe but unspectacular performance. He caught eight of his nine targets for 66 yards on the day, which put him solidly in the WR2 category for the week. Kupp is one of the safest plays […]

Jared Goff Breaks Thumb In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff struggled mightily in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. He completed 24 of 43 passes for 234 yards and an interception. Goff ultimately sustained a broken thumb late in the game that will likely keep him out for the team's season finale and possibly the playoffs. Goff was rarely […]
