Cooper Kupp On Track To Play Against Saints

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) remains on track to return in Week 9 against the Saints.

Cooper Kupp Gets In Limited Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday after missing the last two weeks with a sprained MCL. Kupp looks like he'll be able to return, and it couldn't come at a better time for his fantasy owners in what should be […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, LAR) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds doubled his career TD total in one game, scoring twice on three receptions. That won't happen every week but in this offense he will be a threat to reach the end zone again as long as Cooper Kupp is […]

Josh Reynolds is TD-Dependent Option

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds scored two touchdowns in the victory over the Packers in Week 8. He caught three passes for 42 yards and two TDs, but could lose most of his fantasy value this week. Cooper Kupp (knee) is questionable to play, so Reynolds would lose basically all his value once […]

Robert Woods Should Get Back on Track in Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has been held to fewer than 80 yards in each of his last two games. However, he heads into a matchup against the Saints who have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, according to Yahoo. They've allowed 100 yards and a touchdown to six […]

Cooks has […]

Todd Gurley Faces Toughest Challenge Yet

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is an elite fantasy option each and every week. However, he could have some difficulty finding room to run against a Saints defense that hasn't allowed a RB to rush for over 70 yards a game yet. Although, Gurley has 11 touchdowns and is seemingly unstoppable this season. […]

Jared Goff Should Remain Solid Against the Saints

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff bounced back in Week 8 after two lackluster fantasy performances. Goff has not played overly well on the road this season. However, he heads into a matchup against the Saints who have allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, according to Yahoo. Goff doesn't have the […]

Using the #AllBenchRB Strategy

I apologize to my millions of fans for my absence these past few weeks. I was busy completing an Ironman whilst studying for the Mensa exam.

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 featured several high-scoring matchups, but there were far more touchdowns scored than field goals. As teams get better, defenses should start holding teams to kicking more field goals, which is good for kickers in fantasy. When looking at the matchups for this week, there are quite a few games that figure to be […]

Rams Acquiring Dante Fowler

The Los Angeles Rams acquired defensive end Dante Fowler from the Jaguars on Tuesday, according to a source. Fowler was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft, but he's been mostly a bust for the Jags and has become a rotational pass-rusher. The Rams have more of a need for him, however, and Fowler […]

Cooper Kupp Has Good Chance To Play In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said there is a good chance that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) will return in Week 9 and play against the Saints. Kupp has missed the team's last two games after spraining his knee in Week 6 against the Broncos. Before the injury he had 30 catches on […]

Josh Reynolds Is Efficient In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds only had three catches for 42 yards on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but he made them worth it as two of them went for touchdowns. Reynolds was a major threat in the red zone for a Rams offense that was less efficient than it normally is. […]

Robert Woods Puts Up Solid Day

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods doesn't have the ceiling of Brandin Cooks or Cooper Kupp, but he does have a consistent floor. Against the Green Bay Packers, he finished with five catches for 70 yards on seven targets. Woods hasn't been as productive in the slot as he is outside, so the return […]

Brandin Cooks Has A Tough Day In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks came into Week 8 looking to put up a great day. However, Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Jaire Alexander was glued to him all day to keep that from happening. On eight targets, Cooks had just three catches for 74 yards. Cooks can make big plays happen at […]

Todd Gurley Continues Elite Season

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley continued his touchdown streak of 11 games, including last season. Against the Green Bay Packers, he ran 25 times for 114 yards. In addition, he had six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown, which led the team in receiving yards. Gurley struggled in the first half, but […]

Jared Goff Solid In Week 8

Despite a slow start in Week 8, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff finished with a solid stat line. He had 295 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Goff looked a bit overwhelmed by the pressure early on, as he took three sacks on the team's first three drives. He settled in as the […]
