Rams Week 9 outlook
The Rams are 4-4 and riding a two-game winning streak, outscoring opponents 194-168 on the year. After a loss to the Chargers, they bounced back with a 35-21 win at Las Vegas and a tight 18-16 victory over Arizona. Week 9 sends them to face Washington, with the market giving Los Angeles a 67.4% chance to win.
Matthew Stafford projects for 19.5 points against a Washington defense ranked 29th of 32 against quarterbacks, the softest matchup on the slate for the Rams. Puka Nacua projects for 21.5 points facing a defense ranked 22nd against wide receivers. Kyren Williams projects for 15.0 points with Blake Corum behind him at 11.5, both facing a run defense ranked 14th. Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson remain on injured reserve and are out.
The injury report carries several questionable tags that could affect Sunday's plan. Colby Parkinson (rib), Coleman Shelton (hip), Trent McDuffie (groin) and Jordan Whittington (back) are all questionable, while long snapper Joe Cardona is doubtful with an ankle injury. None of those changes the fantasy priority order, which still runs through Stafford and Nacua against a defense giving up points through the air.
