Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty (groin) is officially active for Week 3 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. Karty has not yet missed a kick through two weeks in the NFL, converting three extra points and three field goals (including one from 40+ yards out). However, the Rams enter Sunday's game without Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee), which is bad news for their offense's chances of scoring. As a result, Karty's upside is also limited. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington is expected to see more involvement during Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The sixth-round rookie opened the season as depth, but now could be asked to possibly start. The Rams are without Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) for multiple weeks, which is a huge blow. That means, Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson figure to be the primary passing options. Tutu Atwell and Whittington could split up the third wideout role. Whittington hauled in both his targets for 22 yards last week. He's too risky to start in Week 3, but is worth stashing in deep leagues and dynasty formats.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty will debut at home in Week 3 against San Francisco after two road contests to start his rookie season. Karty is a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals this season with a long of 41. He has yet to be tested on a 50-plus yard attempt but he looks the part so far. The Stanford product has also made all three of his extra points. He will need more scoring opportunities to be on the fantasy kicker radar, and the Rams' depleted offense might not be able to provide those right now. In a tough matchup against a good San Francisco defense, there are plenty of kicker options to start over Karty.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has yet to get going this season with five catches for 59 yards in the first two games. He saw just two targets in Week 2 when the Rams were blown out at Arizona. He could be more involved in the game plan with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) out but it is tough to trust him until he shows a bit more. The tight-end landscape is tough to navigate in fantasy at the moment but it might be best to look for other options at the position. The week 3 matchup against San Francisco isn't great as the 49ers have allowed just 2.4 fantasy points to the tight end position through two games this season. It's best to leave Parkinson on the bench this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is in line for a bigger role with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined. Robinson has been relatively quiet so far this season through two games with six catches for 92 yards. The opportunity is there for Robinson to lead the wide receiver group in targets with the heavily-targeted top receiver duo out. He showed flashes last year as the team's third option but it remains to be seen how he will handle the increased attention from opposing defenses as one of the top threats on the outside. Expect Sean McVay and his staff to get Robinson some early looks in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers to get into a rhythm. Someone has to catch passes for the Rams and Robinson should help fulfill that role. He is a borderline flex play in deep leagues and should be treated as a WR4 this week.
