Robert Woods Has A Tough Matchup In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods struggled in Week 2, and it wouldn't be surprising to see that continue in Week 3. He's expected to be shadowed by Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White, and that's a tough matchup for any wide receiver. The Rams will likely look towards their other receiving options to throw […]

Cooper Kupp Has A Chance For A Big Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been held in check through the first two weeks of the season, but he has a good chance to change his fortunes in Week 3. Kupp operates primarily out of the slot, and the Buffalo Bills have a weakness at corner after star Tre'Davious White. White is […]

Malcolm Brown Should Be Benched In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (pinkie) had a great Week 1, but that feels like a lifetime ago after the performance teammate Darrell Henderson put up last week. While Brown relied on touchdowns, Henderson was putting up big plays. In addition to being outplayed by Henderson in Week 2, Brown is also dealing with […]

Cam Akers Could Miss Week 3

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) left Week 2 early with a rib injury, and he missed practice on Wednesday as a result. If he misses the game because of the injury, obviously you're not playing him. However, if he's active, Akers will be nothing more than an extremely risky RB3/flex in this […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Could Be Lead Back In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson lit it up in Week 2, but it's unclear what his role will be heading into Week 3. He contributed nothing in Week 1 and he looked as though he would be the backup in Week 2 prior to the injury to teammate Cam Akers. If Henderson is […]

Jared Goff Has Some Upside In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff showed out in Week 2. He finished as the QB12 on the week, and he has the opportunity to do it again in Week 3. This offense is actively working to get the ball out of his hands quickly to his receivers, and it's working to a good amount […]

Evaluating Early Air Yard Data - Week 3

Air yards are becoming a more commonly used statistic for fantasy football purposes. Popularized by Josh Hermsmeyer, who developed metrics like RACR (receiver air conversion ratio) and WOPR (weighted opportunity rating), it is a useful way to dig deeper into receiver performance beyond just targets, receptions, and yards gained. Statistics like Mike Clay's aDoT (average […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Devonta Freeman Is Back! Fantasy Outlook in N.Y.

We are only two weeks into the 2020 NFL season and we've already seen some of the biggest studs in the game go down to injury. Michael Thomas went down with an injured ankle in Week 1 and in Week 2, the consensus top-two picks in fantasy drafts, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley both went […]

The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?

What a brutal week. If your team somehow managed to finish unscathed, lucky you. For those that were impacted, roster decisions will need to be made to make room for players you hope you can plug in and make a positive impact moving forward. Here are this week’s players you can safely drop, and those […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

After an abbreviated preseason with no games and irregular training routines, many expected to see a slew of injuries in the first week of action. Instead, it was Week 2 that inflicted devastating news to several NFL players and franchises, particularly running backs. In the fantasy world, the impact will be felt drastically for those […]

Malcolm Brown Has Surgery For Fractured Finger

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (pinkie) had surgery on Monday to repair the fractured left pinkie finger that he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Eagles. The Rams expect Brown to play in Week 3 against the Bills, however. Just as we expected, this Rams backfield has been tough to figure […]

Cam Akers Day-To-Day With Separated Rib

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) is being listed as day-to-day after separating rib cartilage in the Week 2 win over the Eagles. Akers had just three carries for 13 yards before suffering the injury last Sunday, but he should be OK going forward. However, the Rams are uncertain on Akers' status […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

An injury-laden Week 2 serves as yet another reminder that health is precious, and that skipping preseason is not ideal. Prior to SNF, we've seen the following offensive players injured to some degree: Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Davante Adams, Raheem Mostert, Cam Akers, Courtland Sutton, Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard, Breshad Perriman, Jimmy Garoppolo, Drew Lock, and […]

Week 2 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 2, the quarterback position was fairly predictable as Dak Prescott, Cam Newton, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray finished in the top-five with Matt Ryan and Patrick Mahomes finishing as QB-6 and QB-7, respectively. The main surprise from Week 2 was Lamar Jackson's modest performance, barely finishing inside the top-20 as the […]

Rams Defense Gets After It In Week 2

The Los Angeles Rams Defense was unable to get any sacks in Week 2, but they were able to make some impact plays. They came down with two interceptions of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. This defense isn't as elite as they were during their Super Bowl run, but they still find ways to make […]

Malcolm Brown Comes Down To Earth In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown was unable to replicate his impressive performance from Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. He finished with 11 carries for 47 yards on the afternoon. He was efficient, but he was unable to get into the end zone to achieve much fantasy value for the […]

Robert Woods Disappears In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was unable to replicate his Week 1 performance in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught two of his five targets for 14 yards on the afternoon, but he was able to salvage his day with three carries for 19 yards and a touchdown. In an offense […]

Cooper Kupp Solid In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp didn't quite get into the end zone in Week 2, but he still finished with a solid stat line. He caught five of his six targets for 81 yards. Kupp is showing off consistency to start the season, but you're hoping that brighter days are ahead for the […]

Tyler Higbee Explodes In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had a monster performance in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught all five of his targets for 54 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 37-19 victory. This was the Higbee you were hoping for when you invested a pick to make him a top-10 […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Goes Big In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. seized his opportunity in a big way in Week 2. He finished the day with 12 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also added two receptions for 40 yards. This was the hope for Henderson when he entered the league last season. It's unclear if his […]

Jared Goff Dices Up The Eagles In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was extremely efficient in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He finished the day 20 of 27 for 267 yards and three touchdowns. He was also able to add seven carries for 13 yards on the ground. After a Week 1 that saw him finish with no touchdowns, he […]

Cam Akers Now Out

Updating an earlier report, Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (rib) will now miss the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles after getting hurt during a red zone play in the first quarter. Malcolm Brown, who currently has five carries for 32 yards, will likely serve as the workhorse for the remainder of […]

Cam Akers Exits With Rib Injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (rib) is questionable to return during Sunday's matchup against the Eagles. The rookie suffered the injury during a drive inside the red zone and was assisted off the field by training staff. In his stead, expect Malcolm Brown and potentially Darrell Henderson Jr. to handle the workload out […]

Rams Should Use Darrell Henderson Jr. More

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Los Angeles Rams will move towards more of a running back committee approach in Week 2 against the Eagles, with Darrell Henderson Jr. playing more than he did in Week 1. Garafolo expects the team to use Henderson, Cam Akers, and Malcolm Brown "roughly equally" in this week's […]
