Kupp led all rookie wideouts with 62 receptions this season. He was second to JuJu Smith-Schuster in yards (869) and […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods did everything he could, but it wasn't enough as the Rams fell 26-13 to the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday. Woods caught nine of 14 targets for 142 yards and zero touchdowns. It was a solid game for Woods, who might be the No. 1 receiver in LA next […]

Todd Gurley Rushes For Over 100 Yards

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been seemingly unstoppable all season long, and that continued in Saturday's contest against the Falcons. He rushed 14 times for 101 yards and caught four passes for 10 yards through the air. He probably should've seen seven to eight more carries, but special teams turnovers hurt the Rams […]

Jared Goff Quiet in Loss to Falcons

Sammy Watkins is Risky Against Falcons

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Sammy Watkins likely won't see much success against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.

He's able to make big plays when given the chance, but there […]

Cooper Kupp Is Boom Or Bust

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp finished with his rookie campaign with 869 yards and five touchdowns.

He will see some […]

Todd Gurley Should Destroy Falcons

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley should be in for a solid performance against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.

He scored 19 […]
