Eric Weddle On Track For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects safety Eric Weddle (head) to be ready for Week 2 against the Saints.

Rams Defense So-So In Win

The Los Angeles Rams Defense allowed the Carolina Panthers to score 27 points in Week 1. The Rams Defense tallied three sacks, recovered two fumbles and made one interception in the game. The Rams will have another tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. If you have room to carry another defense, […]

Aaron Donald Held In Check

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had only one solo tackle in the Week 1 win against the Carolina Panthers. Donald is an elite defensive lineman in individual defensive player leagues, but he'll have ebbs and flows as other teams scheme against him. He'll have a chance to rebound against the New Orleans Saints […]

Cory Littleton Everywhere For Rams Defense In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Cory Littleton had 14 tackles (eight solo) and defended two passes in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Littleton figures to be busy over the middle this season and is a solid starting option in individual defensive player formats.

Tyler Higbee Reaches The End Zone

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught four balls for 20 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Higbee was targeted five times in the game. The touchdown saved what would otherwise be a meager performance in fantasy. Higbee will have peaks and valleys, and he won't be a consistent […]

Darrell Henderson Used Sparingly

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson rushed once for no yards in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Henderson should see more action in the coming weeks, but he's a distant third option behind running backs Todd Gurley and Malcolm Brown. Henderson isn't a starting option against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.

Malcolm Brown Breaks Out

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed 11 times for 53 yards and two touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Brown was used early in the game, and running back Todd Gurley racked up 64 of his 97 yards in the fourth quarter. Brown was utilized as the goal-line back, but head […]

Todd Gurley Delivers Late

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed for 97 yards on 14 carries in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers, and 64 yards were tallied in the fourth quarter. He added a four-yard reception as well. Gurley was used sparingly early on, as running back Malcolm Brown rushed 11 times for 53 yards and […]

Josh Reynolds Silent in Rams Victory

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds had zero receptions on two targets in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. While Reynolds’ Week 1 performance did little to change his fantasy outlook, it is important to note that no wide receiver besides Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp or Robert Woods had a reception. Expect […]

Jared Goff Struggles in Rams Victory

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw 23 passes on 39 attempts for 186 yards and one touchdown in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. While the Rams were able to hang onto the win, Goff was unable to find a rhythm in the passing game. As a result, the Rams relied heavily […]

Brandin Cooks Mostly Silent During Rams Victory

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught two passes on six targets for 29 yards in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. While some of Sunday’s struggles can be attributed to the Rams relying more on the running game and Goff having only 186 passing yards, Cooks’ lack of receptions and yardage […]

Robert Woods Solid In Week 1 Performance

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught eight passes on 13 targets for 80 yards in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Woods was the clear WR1 during Week 1, leading the team in targets, receptions and yards on an afternoon where quarterback Jared Goff only had 186 passing yards. Expect the […]

Cooper Kupp Picks Up Where He Left Off

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught seven passes on 10 targets for 46 yards in the team’s 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Making his regular season return after last year’s season-ending ACL tear, Kupp was quarterback Jared Goff’s favorite target early in the game with four receptions on the very first drive. […]

Eric Weddle Doubtful To Return For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle (head) is doubtful to return in Week 1 against the Panthers with a head laceration. Weddle took a knee to the side of the helmet from Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, and it looked initially like Weddle suffered a concussion. It's good news that it's just being diagnosed as […]
