This is not the high flying, jet setting, fully firing Rams offense that the NFL saw in 2017 and 2018. They are a fallible unit and one that we shouldn’t automatically fear rolling out our fantasy defenses against. Jared Goff has the ninth highest interception rate in the NFL this season and has the sixth most interceptions in total. 15.3% of the Rams offensive drives have ended with turnover this season, the sixth-highest rate in the NFL. They’ve committed multiple turnovers in five of their 10 games this season. Indeed, they’ve coughed it up six times in their last two combined.

Since Marcus Peters arrived in Baltimore after being traded for from the Rams, Wink Martindale’s boys have allowed a mere 14 points per game. The Ravens defense has scored 13 or more fantasy points in each of their last four games, with games against Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson during this time. They’ve scored five defensive touchdowns and racked up 12 sacks. Set and forget.
