I had the Rams in my picking pool and Sam Darnold in the Steak League which worked out fine, but the Vikings defense got me just two points for one of my good NFFC teams, so that did not.
Sam Darnold can make all the throws, and he moves decently in the pocket. It just seems like he’s missing a “read” gene, and that limits his upside and makes him more likely to be a backup than a long-term answer.
Justin Jefferson had like six catches in the first quarter, but finished with only eight. The Rams adjusted well defensively in the second half.
Kyren Williams scored again, this time as a receiver. One of the elite fantasy players over the last two years and passes the eye test every time.
Puka Nacua dropped his first target, then caught seven out the next eight. He looks all the way back. Cooper Kupp also looked healthy and is unlikely to be traded now that the Rams are back in the thick of it in their divison.
I loved seeing Demarcus Robinson catch two TDs because no one used him.
Matthew Stafford played a great game, even with the pick. He evaded the rush and threw aggresively down the field against a good defense. With his top receivers back he’ll be startable even in one-QB leagues.
