Todd Gurley With Positive Outlook
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a healthy outlook for Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are among the worst at defending the position the last five weeks and have allowed backs to rush for 117 yards per game. Gurley has scored five touchdowns in his last three games, and this... Read More
Jared Goff A Solid Play
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has a decent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The Bengals are in the lower half of the league in defending the quarterback position over the last five weeks. Oddly enough, they have given up a ton of yardage through the air and on the ground, but they... Read More
David Johnson Not Ruled Out
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, but the team wants to see where he's at by the end of the week. The team signed running backs Zach Zenner and Alfred Morris for depth, but Johnson still has a chance to play. The breakout of running back Chase Edmonds doesn't give them... Read More
Dante Fowler Has Big Game
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Dante Fowler had seven tackles (six solo), three sacks and a pass defense against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. His tackles and sacks were both team highs. Fowler is a fringe player to own in individual defensive player leagues, but this might put him over the hump and onto rosters.
Rams Defense Comes Up Big
The Los Angeles Rams Defense had a big day against the Atlanta Falcons with five sacks, two fumble recoveries, one that went for a touchdown, an interception and just 10 points allowed. They have upside next week against the Cincinnati Bengals and are a midrange start for Week 8.
Gerald Everett Bounces Back
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught four receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Everett was targeted a team-high 10 times in the game. He'll have a tough matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week. The Bengals have only allowed tight ends to grab 13 balls... Read More
Tyler Higbee With Just One Catch
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had just one catch for eight yards on his only target against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. Higbee will have games like these, but the team spreads the ball around enough for him to still have a spot on rosters as a backup. He's not an option against the... Read More
Robert Woods Leads The Way
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods led the team with 80 receiving yards on five catches in Week 7. He was targeted seven times against the Atlanta Falcons. He'll be worth flex consideration again in Week 8 with a tougher matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams spread the ball around, and he could... Read More
Cooper Kupp Fails To Find Separation
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had six grabs for 50 yards in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The line was decent in point-per-reception leagues, but it was underwhelming considering the matchup. He was second on the team with eight targets. He'll face a tougher Cincinnati Bengals matchup next week, but... Read More
Brandin Cooks Has Mediocre Day
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four balls for 59 yards in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Cooks was targeted seven times, which tied for third on the team. He'll have a tougher matchup next week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are among the better half of teams that have defended... Read More
Darrell Henderson Ineffective
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson rushed 11 times for 31 yards in Week 7 and caught an eight-yard pass against the Atlanta Falcons. It was the most action he has seen in his rookie season, but he wasn't able to do much with it. Running back Malcolm Brown's (ankle) status next week will... Read More
Todd Gurley Finds The End Zone
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 18 times for 41 yards in Week 7, but he caught a 13-yard touchdown pass to salvage the ineffective day on the ground. The good news is that was the most rushing attempts that he has had all season after missing last week with a quadriceps injury.... Read More
Jared Goff Rights The Ship
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff bounced back with 268 passing yards and two touchdowns in a blowout of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Goff was 22-for-37, didn't throw any picks and rushed for a touchdown as well. This comes after he threw for just 78 yards last week. He'll have a fabulous matchup... Read More
Damiere Byrd Does Little In Week 7
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd had just one catch for four yards in the Week 7 victory over the New York Giants. The team didn't do much through the air, and he was targeted just twice. Byrd is a fringe option to own at this point and shouldn't be started against the New Orleans... Read More
KeeSean Johnson Logs Just One Catch
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson had just one catch for six yards in Week 7 against the New York Giants. Johnson was targeted just twice in the game, and he isn't worth owning except in long-term leagues.
Larry Fitzgerald Lays An Egg
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had just one catch for 12 yards in Week 7. The Cardinals didn't do much through the air as quarterback Kyler Murray only threw for 104 yards. Fitzgerald was targeted just three times. He'll have a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints next week, and Fitzgerald will be... Read More
Chase Edmonds Busts Out
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds took off in Week 7 after running back David Johnson (ankle) left the game three snaps into the contest. Edmonds rushed 27 times for 126 yards and three touchdowns and caught two passes for 24 yards. Edmonds has averaged 5.62 yards per carry and has likely earned a larger... Read More
Kyler Murray Quiet in Week 7
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray didn't do much in the victory over the New York Giants in Week 7. He was 14-for-21 for 104 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions, and he rushed 10 times for 28 yards. It was a disappointing day after the momentum he built the last couple of games and the... Read More
David Johnson Exits Early
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) left the Week 7 game after three snaps and did not return. He had just one carry for two yards before exiting. Running back Chase Edmonds came in and stole the show with 126 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Johnson may be questionable next week against the New... Read More
Rams Defense Not Worth Playing
The Los Angeles Rams Defense shouldn't be played against the Atlanta Falcons this week. They've had their issues on the ground, but they still put up points and air it out. The Rams are amidst a tough portion of their schedule and really haven't played well enough to hang onto in traditional formats.
Tyler Higbee Not An Option
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been an afterthought in the offense this season with 16 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown in five games. He has a good matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week, but he is too spotty to rely on in traditional leagues. He'd be someone to take... Read More
Robert Woods Worth Flex Consideration
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has been Jekyll and Hyde in the matter of a couple of weeks. He busted out with 13 catches for 164 yards three weeks ago and didn't catch a last on four targets last week. He'll have a brighter matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who are the best... Read More
Cooper Kupp A Banner Play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp broke a four-game string with 100 receiving yards last week as the entire offense was shut down by the San Francisco 49ers. The good news, though, is the Rams face the leaky Atlanta Falcons Defense, which is the worst at defending receivers the last five weeks. Kupp is... Read More
Brandin Cooks In Line For Big Things
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been irrelevant for a couple of weeks for fantasy owners. He left the Oct. 3 game with a concussion, and the entire Rams offense was plugged up last week. He had four catches for 47 yards in the two games combined. He has an awesome matchup against... Read More
Darrell Henderson Could Run As A Flex
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson could have some luster as a flex option against the Atlanta Falcons. Running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is doubtful this week, but Todd Gurley (thigh) is expected back. Gurley's workload could be spotty, and Henderson could see extended run. He rushed six times for 39 yards in Week... Read More
Jared Goff Should Bounce Back
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is coming off of one of his most futile games in recent memory as he threw for only 78 yards in the loss against the San Francisco 49ers last week. Goff owners should be happy to see the Atlanta Falcons in the forefront this week. The Falcons are the... Read More
Damiere Byrd Shouldn't Be Started
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd caught both of his targets for 60 yards last week, and he'll have a good matchup against the New York Giants. Wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) is iffy to play again this week, and receiver Keesean Johnson has done nothing in his increased looks. Byrd could wind up usurping... Read More
KeeSean Johnson Not An Option
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has just 14 catches for 131 yards on the season despite a number of injuries that opened doors in the offense. He has a good matchup against the New York Giants this week, but he simply hasn't produced enough to warrant owning outside of dynasty formats.
Larry Fitzgerald A Supplemental Piece
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a great matchup against the New York Giants this week. The Giants allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game over the last five weeks. Wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) and running back David Johnson (ankle) are both game-time decisions, which could put more emphasis on Fitz. He's averaging... Read More
Chase Edmonds Worth Consideration
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has been a sneaky contributor over the last two games, but it's because he found the end zone each game. He had 12 carries for 102 yards and five catches for 51 yards combined in the games, and he scored on the ground and through the air. Starting running... Read More
