Los Angeles Rams DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen (shoulder) came into Thursday night's game against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 15 as questionable with a shoulder injury, but he is active and will play. Fellow tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will have to wait at least another week to make his season debut, so it will be Allen and Colby Parkinson again splitting the TE work for the Rams against San Francisco. The 23-year-old Allen hasn't played over 50 percent of the offensive snaps since Week 11 and has seen just one target in the last four games, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to trust him in starting lineups, even in the deepest of formats. Parkinson, meanwhile, has only four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and one touchdown in the last four games. Fantasy managers are better off avoiding the Rams' TE situation.

Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) and rookie Jordan Whittington (shoulder) are both officially active for Thursday night's divisional contest against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium. Robinson injured his shoulder during the Week 14 win over the Buffalo Bills but was able to return to the game, which was a good sign for his status despite being on a quick turnaround this week. The 30-year-old will continue to serve as the WR3 in LA's offense behind stud wideouts Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, who get the vast majority of looks from quarterback Matthew Stafford in this offense. Robinson has still had a role, though, catching 28 passes for 433 yards, and he's had a nose for the end zone with a career-high seven touchdowns. In Week 3 against the Niners, Robinson had one catch for 32 yards. Treat him as a low-floor, touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in deep leagues.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the team's Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie wideout sustained a shoulder injury in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Buffalo Bills, causing him to "miss" LA's first two days of estimated practice this week. Fortunately, Whittington was able to log a limited session on Wednesday before getting a questionable tag for their Week 15 matchup. The 24-year-old has taken a backseat in the offense since teammates Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua's return -- failing to log a reception since the Rams' Week 6 bye. However, he's been a solid kick returner for the team and still records snaps for the offense. If he can't suit up on Thursday, wide receiver Tyler Johnson projects to pick up a few extra snaps while running back Blake Corum and wideout Xavier Smith will handle return duties.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has multiple catches in three straight games coming into Thursday night's road clash with the 49ers. Against the Bills last week, he reeled in all three of his targets for 45 yards, his highest total since Week 7 against the Raiders. In his first matchup with the 49ers this season, Atwell hauled in four catches for a season-high 93 receiving yards. In that game, the Rams were without target magnets Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, though, who get most of the targets in the current offense. Atwell could still play an increased role again this week, though, with Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) and Jordan Whittington (shoulder) both questionable. Atwell is RotoBaller's WR85.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has gotten early work in each of the Rams' last two games, but he remains a longshot to emerge as a strong fantasy play this Thursday against the 49ers. Corum has exactly eight carries in each of the last two weeks, and against the Bills, four of those came in the red zone. He wasn't able to get into the end zone, though, and is still searching for his first NFL touchdown. He played only 17% of snaps after playing 32% in the previous week and remains only moderately involved behind workhorse back Kyren Williams. At this point, Corum is mostly just a Williams handcuff and comes into this week as RotoBaller's RB60, well off the radar even as a flex play aside from in the deepest of leagues.
