At the start of the season, there were doubts that, aside from Cooper Kupp, anyone was going to be overly interested in Los Angeles Rams players. A month later, much has changed.
Matthew Stafford has topped 300 passing yards in three of four games, and he has legitimate value if his touchdown numbers come up.
Rookie Puka Nacua is the talk of the NFL, catching 39 passes for 501 yards and one touchdown. Tutu Atwell has been strong, catching 22 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown. The Rams traded starting running back Cam Akers and replaced him with Kyren Williams. He has rushed 64 times for 245 yards, caught 11 passes for 101 yards, and scored six touchdowns. Even kicker Brett Maher has become must-have, posting weekly point totals of 12, 11, 10 and 11.
In most leagues, all five of these Rams were available on the waiver wire prior to Week 1. Now, it’s hard to imagine not having all of them in weekly starting lineups … or at least stashed so others can’t have them.
