The Rams have allowed 100 rushing yards in three straight games. They play the Cardinals in Week 16.

Analysis: The Rams yielded 30 points in Week 15 to the Eagles, who were led by backup QB Nick Foles. This was a frustrating outing for the crew that was trying to get back on track after a disappointing loss to the Bears in the previous week. They have a palate cleanser on the horizon with a road matchup against the Cardinals, who haven't scored more than 21 points since Week 5 and have turned the ball over 17 times in the last nine games. To add to the Rams' value, they shut out the Cardinals in Week 2,…read more

The Rams rank third in the NFL with 25 takeaways heading into their Week 15 game against the Eagles.

Analysis: The Rams played well and held to Bears to 294 yards of offense and intercepted Mitchell Trubisky three times in Week 14, but the offense being stymied by the Bears defense led to the second loss of the season. The strength of Los Angeles' defense has been their ability to force takeaways for most of the season as they rank middle of the pack in scoring (24.1 PPG), yardage allowed (361.7 YPG), and sacks (34). Meanwhile, the Eagles feature the 28th-ranked rushing offense (97.9 YPG) and…read more

The Rams have allowed 98 or more rushing yards in each of the last six games. They play the Bears in Week 14.

Analysis: It remains to be seen whether QB Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) plays in this outing, but the Bears' offense has been serviceable with Chase Daniel under center. Those two games were against poor defenses and they still coughed up four turnovers. This will put more pressure on the Bears' backfield which has turned in favor of Tarik Cohen since Jordan Howard has taking a major step back. Cohen's a viable dual-threat back and beats teams with his quickness. The Rams have struggled lately against…read more

The Rams rank fifth in the league with 20 forced turnovers. They play the Lions in Week 13.

Analysis: Five of those turnovers came in a Week 11 shootout against the Chiefs, one of the league's most-potent offenses. This makes a juicy matchup against the Lions, who have turned the ball over 10 times in the last five games, with two of those going back for scores. Any of the Rams' struggles in the secondary should be relieved by Lions WR Marvin Jones (knee) sitting out, making Kenny Golladay the No. 1 wideout. Golladay is a special talent but hasn't served in this role yet or proven he can carry…read more

The Rams have allowed at least 27 points in each of the last three games. They play the Chiefs in Week 11.

Analysis: Despite the heavy investment on the defensive side of the ball this offseason, the Rams haven't panned out like they wished, ranking 12th in the league in points per game allowed (23.1) and 11th in turnovers produced (15). Those aren't bad margins by any measure, but they're not the fantasy lock that was expected when the year began. The matchup with the Chiefs won't change that fact, as both teams bring the NFL's two highest-scoring offenses to the table. QB Patrick Mahomes has been sacked…read more
