Ranking fourth in the league with 34.0 PPG, the Rams remain an offensive juggernaut in Sean McVay’s second season. Most recently, Jared Goff carved up the Chargers “improved D,” completing 29-of-36 for 354 yards and 3 scores with one interception. Meanwhile, RB Todd Gurley continued justifying his locked-in No.1 Overall Pick status, racking up 156 total yards and a score on 28 touches (5 rec); Gurley trails only Alvin Kamara among RBs and WRs in fantasy points. The WRs also joined the fun, with all three hitting double-digit half PPR FPs; Robert Woods led the way, receiving 10-of-11 targets for 104 yards and 2 TDs.

Simply put: the Rams haven’t regressed one bit. The team went from worst to first (28.9 PPG) in scoring in McVay’s first year as HC, and seem destined to again push for the league lead in points once more.

Most shockingly, though we predicted mind-numbing unreliability, Woods, Brandin Cooks, and Cooper Kupp have all been consistent. Through three weeks, only Woods has dipped below 9.3 half ppr FPs, and only one time. Cooks has maintained the verticality while finding stability, topping 5 receptions and 80 yards in seven straight weeks (though failing to find he end zone). Meanwhile, Kupp has remained a scoring beast and popular slot target, while Woods leads the team in targets and air yards.

All-in-all, despite having many mouths to satisfy, McVay’s offense has remained explosive enough to ensure all parties are fed. Bump up the Rams WRs and Goff, while keeping Gurley locked into the top overall spot, for season long rankings.
