The Los Angeles Rams are playing some of their best football right now, getting outstanding production out of players such as Tyler Higbee and Robert Woods in recent weeks. Todd Gurley has also come alive with his increased workload and Cooper Kupp remains a reliable receiver, while the offensive line has really taken a step forward.
Against the Seahawks on Sunday night, it was Woods and Higbee leading the charge for the second straight week with both players going over 100 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back games. They were unsurprisingly among the top-graded Rams players by Pro Football Focus in Week 14.
Higbee had the highest grade of anyone on the team at 86.2, followed by Jared Goff (85.8), Robert Woods (84.9) and Aaron Donald (79.1).
PFF's highest graded @RamsNFL from the win over SEA:
Higbee 86.2
Goff 85.8 (season-high for 2nd week in a row)
Woods 84.9
Donald 79.1
Kupp 78.4
Hill 75.4— J.B. Long (@JB_Long) December 9, 2019
Higbee actually made PFF’s Team of the Week for Week 14, slotting in as a FLEX player on the list.
Higbee was a weapon in the Rams’ play-action game on Sunday night. His 116 yards were tops among all tight ends this week, as he moved the chains on four of his seven targets. It was such an impressive performance that he still made our team despite a drop.
Higbee has become a focal point on offense since Gerald Everett went down with a knee injury, catching seven passes for at least 100 yards in each of the last two games. When Everett returns, Higbee’s production might slip a bit, but he’s still emerged as a weapon in the passing game.
