Eric Weddle Undergoes Surgery
Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle (knee) underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to recover in weeks, not months. Somehow, it was the 35-year-old's first ever surgery. In his first season with the Rams, Weddle had 108 total tackles (69 solo) and four passes defensed over a full season. He clearly still has some […]

While no one can fill Michael Scott’s shoes, I’ll try to make he and The Dundies proud as we look back on 2019, look forward to 2020, and maybe just learn something along the way. Or get a hankering for Chili’s. Either way, […]

DFS Wide Receivers To Target In The Wild Card Round
In Week 17, John Brown was inactive and Robert Foster played in his place. Even though Foster played 98.4% of the snaps, he failed to haul in a single target and ended up with a goose egg. Instead, Duke Williams led the way for the Bills receivers, hauling in six passes for 108 yards. I turned […]

Eric Weddle Could Hang 'Em Up
Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle is uncertain if he will continue his playing career into the 2020 season. He hasn't made an official decision, but he expects the Rams to move forward with younger safeties John Johnson and rookie Taylor Rapp. Weddle said he will not return in a backup role. The 34-year-old also […]
Aaron Donald Quiet In Week 17
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had two total tackles (one solo) and no sacks in Week 17. It was a step back from his 20.5 sacks last year as he had just 12.5 this season. Donald isn't a slam dunk as a DL1 next year, but he should be in consideration.
Greg Zuerlein Hits From 47 Yards
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was 1-for-2 in field goals in Week 17, but his score was from 47 yards. He nailed all four extra points. Zuerlein had an up-and-down year as his 75 percent field goal percentage was his lowest in four years. He'll be a midrange PK1 in fantasy if he sticks […]
Tyler Higbee Delivers In Finale
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee finished strong in Week 17 with eight catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. After starting the season slowly, he was a beast down the stretch. He finished with 69 catches for 734 yards and three touchdowns. Higbee will be an upper-middle option just outside the elite tier […]
Brandin Cooks Mediocre In Finale
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks had three grabs for 40 yards in the Week 17 finale. Cooks' season was derailed by concussions, and he had just 42 catches for 593 yards and two touchdowns. His roster status is shaky. He could be a WR4 if he regains his early season place in the […]
Robert Woods Goes Out With A Score
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught seven passes for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Woods finished the year with a career-high 90 grabs, 1,134 yards and two touchdowns. The team has a lot of mouths to feed on offense, and he fell victim to […]
Cooper Kupp Just Misses 100 Yards
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had seven catches for 99 yards and a touchdown in what was his fifth straight game with a score in Week 17. His 2019 ends with 94 catches for 1,161 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was inconsistent at times, but he provided bang for the buck overall. He'll […]
Malcolm Brown Lands A Touchdown
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown didn't see as much work as was expected, but he rushed nine times for 26 yards and a touchdown in Week 17. He also added a six-yard grab. Brown will have an interesting offseason with rumors surrounding starting running back Todd Gurley's roster status due to his health. […]
Todd Gurley So-So In Finale
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 20 times for 68 yards and caught two balls for 21 yards in an uninspiring season finale. He finished the season with 857 rushing yards, 3.8 yards per carry, 12 rushing touchdowns, 31 receptions for 207 yards and two receiving scores. His 14 total scores carried him […]
Jared Goff Plays Well
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had a productive season finale with 319 yards passing, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He spread the ball around and was only sacked once in a game he looked like he played carefree in. He finished the up-and-down year with 4,638 yards, 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. It's a […]
