Los Angeles Rams

An MRI exam will be done Monday to confirm that Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) tore his right ACL on an ugly-looking hit by Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's wild-card game. If the 31-year-old indeed has a torn ACL in his knee, he probably won't end up being ready for the start of the 2024 season this fall. Higbee remains under contract with the Rams for next season, but rookie Davis Allen could open the year as the team's primary pass-catching tight end if Higbee is still rehabbing his knee injury. In 15 regular season games in 2023, Higbee was a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 for fantasy managers and finished with 47 receptions for 495 yards and only two touchdowns on 70 targets.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell got into the end zone during the team's Wild-Card playoff loss to the Detroit Lions. Atwell caught his lone target for a 38-yard first-half touchdown. This was the third-year receiver's first touchdown since his Week 7 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Demarcus Robinson all play ahead of and have been much more involved in the offense than Atwell. Heading into next season, the 24-year-old should not be considered in drafts unless playing in an extremely deep fantasy league.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp did not produce much in the team's 24-23 wildcard loss to the Detroit Lions. Kupp caught five of his nine targets for just 27 yards. In his final game of the season, he finished with the sixth-most receiving yards on the team and did not end on a strong note. It has been clear that rookie WR Puka Nacua has overtaken Kupp as the team's number one receiver and that should be expected to remain going forward. Consider the former All-Pro as a high-end WR2 in fantasy drafts next season.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (hand) was not very productive in the team's 24-23 Wild-Card loss to the Detroit Lions. He left Sunday's loss to the Lions in the fourth quarter with a hand injury and did not return. Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 61 yards on the ground while catching his lone target for nine yards before exiting. This workload was surprising, considering he has had at least 20 touches in seven straight games before this one. Williams took over the three-down role early on in the season and has not looked back. Assuming the team does not add any significant backs in the offseason, the 23-year-old should be considered in the first two rounds of fantasy drafts next season.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford could not come out on top in the team's Wild-Card loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Stafford completed 25 of his 36 pass attempts for 367 yards and two touchdowns. Despite him shredding Detroit's defense, the Rams could not come out on top. Stafford ended the year on a strong note and surprised many people with his performance this season. Heading into next season, the veteran QB should be considered as a low-end QB1 and will be a solid option late in fantasy drafts.
