Jordan Whittington Likely To Have Bigger Role

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington is expected to see more involvement during Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The sixth-round rookie opened the season as depth, but now could be asked to possibly start. The Rams are without Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) for multiple weeks, which is […]

Rams D/ST Not A Good Option Against San Francisco

The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams is not a good fantasy play this week despite facing a banged-up San Francisco 49ers offense. The 49ers will be without star running back Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf). Tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful. However, expect San Francisco to bully the […]

Colby Parkinson Yet To Break Out

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has yet to get going this season with five catches for 59 yards in the first two games. He saw just two targets in Week 2 when the Rams were blown out at Arizona. He could be more involved in the game plan with Puka Nacua (knee) and […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is in line for a bigger role with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined. Robinson has been relatively quiet so far this season through two games with six catches for 92 yards. The opportunity is there for Robinson to lead the wide receiver group in targets […]

Fantasy Football Running Backs With a Potential Workhorse Role in Week 3

As NFL offenses continue to evolve, most teams live and die by the pass. As a result, we've seen the running back position de-prioritized to a certain extent, with true "workhorse" backs becoming almost extinct. Committee situations and shared workloads are increasingly becoming the norm in today's NFL. However, due to a combination of injuries […]

Tyler Johnson Could Bounce Back In Week 3

Coming off a disappointing performance at Arizona in Week 2, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson is a decent bet to bounce back in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. A popular waiver-wire target after a breakout Week 1 performance at Detroit, Johnson produced a dud in Week 2. But it was largely […]

Blake Corum Not Yet A Fantasy Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should not be on the fantasy radar yet and that will again be the case in Week 3 against the 49ers. The Michigan rookie was more involved in Week 2 at Arizona but that was largely because the Rams were getting blown out by the Cardinals. He saw […]

Kyren Williams Should Be Busy In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been the workhorse so far in the team's backfield through two weeks. With a banged-up wide receiver group with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) out, look for a heavy workload for Williams in Week 3 against San Francisco. We've seen little of Blake Corum so […]

Matthew Stafford A Risky Play With Depleted WR Group
