Los Angeles Rams DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is coming off a season-high 104 rushing yards last week against the Saints and is in a favorable matchup as his Rams welcome the Bills this week. Williams also scored his 12th touchdown of the season in his 12th game and is averaging over 75 rushing yards per contest. His targets have dropped off with the Rams' receivers healthy, but he still has big potential as a rusher. The Bills have allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs this year and 4.9 yards per carry, which is tied for third-most in the NFL. He did lose some work to rookie Blake Corum early in the game, but still handled 16 of the 24 running back touches in the Rams' offense. This week, Williams is RotoBaller's RB9, making him a strong RB1 to start confidently

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen is expected to get at least one more week as the Rams' primary tight end since Tyler Higbee (knee) was ruled out despite putting in full practices all week. Allen has been stuck in a timeshare with Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long for the past few weeks since a five-catch game in Week 10 against the Dolphins. He has only had one target in his last three games combined and hasn't made much of a fantasy impact. Last week, Parkinson and Long each had just one target since the current offense does not prioritize looks for the position. This week the 23-year-old from Clemson is RotoBaller's TE43.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams are 6-6 coming into a pivotal matchup in the late window this week against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. Stafford has been on a nice roll with multiple touchdowns and no interceptions in three straight games. He's up to 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions on the season and should reach 3,000 passing yards this week. Last week, he completed 14 of 24 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns to beat the Saints. He did tweak his ankle in that game but was able to go through full practices all week and does not have an injury designation. The veteran is RotoBaller's QB17 against the Bills, who have ranked slightly above league average against QBs this season.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in order to make his 2024 debut in Week 14 against the visiting Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Higbee tore his ACL and MCL in a playoff game in January and hasn't been able to play at all yet this year, however, he has been practicing in full since last Friday and could be a candidate to make his season debut for a huge divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers next Thursday night. However, even if the 31-year-old veteran makes his return next week against San Fran, we'd expect the Rams to play it safe and limit his reps alongside TEs Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. Allen and Parkins have pretty much formed a TE committee in LA this year with Higbee out, making them impossible to trust in standard-sized fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was listed as a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Higbee, who has yet to play in 2024 due to tears in his ACL and MCL in his right knee in a playoff game on Jan. 14, also put in a full practice session last Friday. However, he's not expected to be activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list by Saturday in order to make his season debut on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. The Rams aren't going to rush the 31-year-old veteran back, but he could make his debut next week and be eased in versus the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 15 next Thursday night. Once Higbee does return, we wouldn't recommend him for starting fantasy lineups as he works alongside Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. With receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp eating up most of the targets, Rams tight ends have had little production.
