The Rams allowed 10 points and 108 yards during the Week 5 win over Washington and play the 49ers on Sunday.

Analysis: It was an impressive performance from Los Angeles, as it gave up a mere 2.1 yards per play and recorded eight sacks. San Francisco is coming off a similarly bleak offensive performance, as it put up 17 points with three giveaways and five sacks allowed versus the Dolphins. QB Jimmy Garoppolo looked terrible in his return from injury, and the team overall looked out of sorts. This wouldn't ordinarily be a strong matchup for the Rams D/ST, but it could be a good option in Week 6 if each team's…read more

The Rams allowed 295 yards during the 17-9 win over the Giants in Week 4 and play Washington on Sunday.

Analysis: Los Angeles had only one takeaway, but things otherwise went about as expected as it recorded five sacks and kept New York out of the end zone. Washington ranks near the bottom of the league offensively in scoring (19.8 PPG), yardage (301.8 YPG), sacks allowed (13) and giveaways (eight) through four games, so this is another prime matchup for the Rams D/ST.

The Rams surrendered 35 points and 375 yards during the Week 3 loss to the Bills and play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: Los Angeles did have four sacks and two takeaways, but QB Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense ended up getting the better of the defense, in the end. Week 4 presents a much more attractive matchup for LA, as New York ranks tied-29th in giveaways (seven) and tied-23rd in sacks allowed (nine). The Rams D/ST is a strong plug-and-play option for this week.

The Rams allowed 363 yards and 19 points to the Eagles in Week 2 and play the Bills on Sunday.

Analysis: Los Angeles was unable to record a sack against QB Carson Wentz after he was brought down eight times in Week 1, but it still managed to force three turnovers. Meanwhile, the Bills and QB Josh Allen are off to a fantastic start in Year 3, as he leads the league with 729 passing yards and has six touchdowns and zero interceptions. The acquisition of WR Stefon Diggs appears to have unlocked a lethal part of Buffalo's offense, which makes this a subpar matchup for the Los Angeles D/ST.

The Rams allowed 380 yards and 17 points to the Cowboys on Sunday and play the Eagles in Week 2.

Analysis: Los Angeles did a good job limiting Dallas and had three sacks and zero takeaways. Meanwhile, the Eagles had an awful performance against Washington, totaling only 17 points with three giveaways and eight sacks allowed. The multiple turnovers seem unlikely to be replicated, but the porous offensive line should provide a significant opportunity for the Rams' pass rush this week.

The Rams will host the Cowboys in Week 1.

Analysis: The Rams are healthy heading into a tough season opener. The Cowboys have a daunting pass attack with rookie WR CeeDee Lamb on the roster to go along dependable RB Ezekiel Elliott. CB Jalen Ramsey could shadow either WR Amari Cooper or WR Michael Gallup while CB Troy Hill takes the other, but there are a ton of pass-catchers nonetheless. This has shootout potential with two strong offenses, and the Cowboys protect the ball well, finishing ninth last year with just 18 turnovers. The Rams D/ST is…read more

S Eric Weddle, CB Nickell Robey-Coleman, ILB Cory Littleton, OLB Dante Fowler left the Rams this offseason.

Analysis: Los Angeles finished last season 13th in total defense (339.6 YPG), 17th in scoring (22.8 PPG), ninth in takeaways (24) and fourth in sacks (50).The signing of OLB Leonard Floyd should help alleviate the loss of Fowler and A'Shawn Robinson was set to bolster the defensive line, but Robinson's cardiovascular condition has sidelined him for most of training camp. The top-level talent of Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey in addition to quality starters DL Michael Brockers, S John Johnson and CB Troy…read more

CB Jalen Ramsey (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: The Rams were knocked out of the playoffs last week after giving up 27 offensive points and 334 yards. Los Angeles still provided a fair bit of value with two takeaways and six sacks, but they now head into Week 17 with an extensive injury list. The team could end up resting up guys who are banged up with nothing to play for. Given the uncertainly of who will play and the fact Arizona has excelled in protecting the ball this season (13 giveaways), the Los Angeles D/ST remains a middling option…read more

The Rams surrendered 475 yards and 44 points during the Week 15 loss to the Cowboys and play the 49ers on Saturday.

Analysis: Dallas totaled 263 rushing yards and averaged 5.8 YPC as this game was essentially over by halftime. San Francisco features the second-ranked rushing offense (147.0 YPG) and figures to attempt to replicate Dallas' success. The Rams D/ST had a strong stretch of play in the games leading up to Week 15, but this divisional matchup doesn't present worthwhile fantasy value.

The Rams gave up 308 yards and six offensive points during Sunday's win over the Seahawks and play the Cowboys in Week 15.

Analysis: QB Russell Wilson was limited to 4.9 yards per pass and was sacked five times as Seattle didn't muster an offensive touchdown. Los Angeles has surrendered 10 offensive points or fewer in six of the last seven games, though the exception was allowing 45 points to Baltimore. The Rams also have at least three sacks in all seven of those contests, but that will be tested by the Cowboys top-ranked pass protection (18 sacks allowed). The Dallas offense hasn't provided much value for opposing fantasy…read more

The Rams gave up 198 yards and seven points to the Cardinals in Week 13 and play the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football.

Analysis: Los Angeles completely locked down Arizona with six sacks, and also returned the lone takeaway for a touchdown. The Rams have fared well against the run this season (3.7 YPC allowed), which will be much needed against a Seahawks offense that averages 143.7 YPG on the ground. That effectiveness combined with QB Russell Wilson makes this matchup a problem for the Rams. The Los Angeles D/ST surrendered 30 points and 429 yards in its first matchup with Seattle, and a similar performance in Week 14…read more

The Rams were shredded for 480 yards and 45 points by the Ravens in Week 12 and will play the Cardinals on Sunday.

Analysis: QB Lamar Jackson needed only 20 pass attempts to throw five touchdowns as Baltimore completely dominated the game from the start. Arizona features a middle of the pack offense in yardage (343.9 YPG) and scoring (22.5 PPG), but it ranks tied-second in giveaways (eight). Overall QB Kyler Murray is putting together a solid rookie campaign, but the Rams allowed only 37 offensive points in the previous four games before being torched by the Ravens. There's nothing overly scary about this matchup for…read more

The Rams held the Bears to 267 yards and seven points in Week 11 and will face Baltimore on Sunday.

Analysis: Los Angeles has two sacks and one takeaway as it completely stifled Chicago, allowing a mere 3.6 yards per play. The Rams have now allowed a combined 540 yards and 17 offensive points in the last two games, but that means little as they get set to play the Ravens. QB Lamar Jackson is leading a top-two offense in yardage (428.6 YPG) and scoring (34.1 PPG), while also being tied-fourth in giveaways (10). Baltimore is also currently on a tear with 42.3 PPG in the last four contests. The Rams D/ST…read more

The Rams allowed 10 offensive points and 273 yards to the Steelers in Week 11 and will play the Bears on Sunday.

Analysis: Los Angeles had two takeaways, three sacks and a safety, but Pittsburgh's fumble return for a touchdown titled the game. Chicago comes into Week 11 have eclipsed 300 yards in only one game this season, while also ranking in the bottom half of the league in sacks allowed (27). The Bears have taken solid care of the ball (nine giveaways), but the overall struggles of the offense (18 PPG and 262.2 YPG) make this an appealing matchup for the Rams.
