Rams Week 1 snap counts: Akers and Fuller barely play, only 3 CBs see the field

Analyzing snap counts from the Rams’ loss to the Bills, which tell us a lot about the current depth chart

Like every other team, the Los Angeles Rams put out an unofficial depth chart before Week 1 to give fans an idea of where each player stood. However, that depth chart wasn’t put together by the coaching staff, so it didn’t accurately reflect the pecking order in the eyes of Sean McVay and Raheem Morris.

We got a much clearer picture of the actual depth chart based on the snap counts from Thursday’s loss to the Bills, and there sure were some surprising developments. Darrell Henderson Jr. was unquestionably the No. 1 running back, Jordan Fuller has fallen out of favor a bit and the Rams were in 11 personnel the entire night.

McVay and Morris relied heavily on their starters, barely playing their backups on either side of the ball – including no backup cornerbacks.
