Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (neck) will have no limitations and is ready to roll, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Huddle Up: Stafford will enter the season as a low-end QB1 with minimal upside as the team has begun to dismantle around him.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford, WR Cooper Kupp and DT Aaron Donald are "weight-bearing walls" that will not be traded as the team attempts to get under the salary by the start of the new league year, according to general manager Les Snead.
Huddle Up: Kupp's potential departure has not been suggested by anyone, but Stafford's has in recent days. Snead told reporters recently that "we're going to definitely rely on Matthew, he's definitely one of our pillars." Things could not have gone much worse for Stafford than they did in 2022, as an elbow ailment hampered him throughout camp and an injury-ravaged offensive line collapsed during the season. Unless the Rams fix the line and get him another receiver he is comfortable with, he likely be a ho-hum fantasy QB2 in 2023.

Los Angeles Rams WR Allen Robinson received permission to seek a trade, and the Rams are willing to pay a portion of his $15.25 million salary to facilitate it.
Huddle Up: A-Rob could still be a WR3 in fantasy, but injuries have probably derailed much more upside than that in fantasy.
Posted 1/15/2023 7:40 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams WR Allen Robinson may be placed on the trade block this offseason because the team could save $15.25 million in salary cap space if he is traded, in the opinion of RamsWire's Cameron DaSilva.
Huddle Up: Robinson was limited to 10 games this season and finished with 339 yards and three touchdowns. He could receive some interest if available but may only be a late round option in deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford is expected to have his 2023 option bonus and 2024 salary picked up by the third day of the new league year, which will amount to $62 million in guaranteed money the next two years, per sources on Saturday, Jan. 14.
Huddle Up: Stafford had a dreadful year, but so did the team around him. Regardless, the veteran signal-caller can return to at least a high-end QB2 in 2023 if Los Angeles rights the ship.
Posted 1/10/2023 3:45 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he does not plan to retire this offseason and that head coach Sean McVay's future with the team will not affect his plans.
Huddle Up: Stafford missed most of the season because of a neck injury but plans to be on the field in 2023. He could be a low-end No. 1 or a high-end No. 2 fantasy quarterback next season if he does not suffer any setbacks.
Posted 1/09/2023 2:18 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams RB Cam Akers rushed 21 times for 104 yards in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, his third consecutive 100-yard performance.
Huddle Up: There was a time where it appeared Akers might be on his way to another team, but the Rams kept him around, and it paid dividends. He is now likely to be the RB1 in Los Angeles heading into 2023, and he could be a decent RB2 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams.

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (rest) practiced in full on Friday, Jan. 6, and was removed from the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Despite Higbee's lackluster yardage production in four of his last five games, he remains one of the better options at tight end in fantasy football. He's on the lower end of the TE1 spectrum going into Week 18 and should be in lineups.
Posted 1/06/2023 2:35 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 5.
Huddle Up: Higbee has become a popular target for Baker Mayfield over the last few weeks and should see a good amount of targets again this week. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/05/2023 2:32 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Higbee likely will return to practice in the next day or two and should be a big part of the passing game again in Week 18. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.
Posted 1/01/2023 9:05 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (elbow) is officially active for the Week 17 game.
Huddle Up: Higbee was a big part of the passing game last week and should see a good amount of targets again in Week 17. He can be considered a No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/31/2022 12:11 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (elbow) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 30, and is listed as questionable for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Higbee was a limited participant in each of the last two days, so he should have a good chance to play in Week 17. He is coming a very good performance and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end if active.
Posted 12/29/2022 11:55 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (rest, elbow) was limited in practice once again on Thursday, Dec. 29.
Huddle Up: Higbee was a new addition to the injury report this week and two limited sessions means he's someone to watch on Friday. Higbee is a low-end TE1 and should be in lineups if active. If he sits, the Rams don't have a viable starting option behind him.
Posted 12/29/2022 2:03 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Higbee is coming off an outstanding Week 16 performance and has caught three touchdowns in the last two games. He is a popular target for Baker Mayfield and should be a No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Rams RB Cam Akers remains firmly in the team's 2023 plans, according to recent comments from head coach Sean McVay.
"With what he's done continuing to build on that momentum, I think it'd be silly based on what a great job he's done to think of it anything differently than him being a big part of what you want to be able to do moving forward. ... There's totally a different trajectory in terms of what he's done and the way that he's handled himself and the way that he's playing like we know he's capable of, " McVay said.
Huddle Up: Akers put an exclamation point on his return to the good graces of McVay on Christmas Day, running all over the Denver Broncos' defense for 118 yards and three touchdowns in one of the most unlikely performances of the season. The third-year back has been a stud this month, rushing for 285 yards and six touchdowns on 64 carries after totaling 274 yards and one TD on 84 attempts in September, October and November. He should be considered a solid RB2 option in Week 17 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (neck) said he's not retiring after sustaining a spinal cord contusion.
Huddle Up: Stafford will be a midrange QB1 in fantasy drafts next season.
Posted 12/16/2022 12:35 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB John Wolford (neck) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 15.
Huddle Up: Rams head coach Sean McVay has already said Wolford won't play in Week 15, paving the way for QB Baker Mayfield to get the start. Despite some late-game heroics in Week 14, Mayfield is not a suggested lineup option.
Posted 12/14/2022 12:36 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is unlikely to return this season, according to head coach Sean McVay on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
Huddle Up: Kupp is recovering from ankle surgery so it was unlikely he would make a return anyway.
Posted 12/10/2022 4:24 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (neck) is not expected to require any offseason surgeries for a spinal cord contusion which caused him to be placed on injured reserve, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Huddle Up: Stafford is eligible to be activated from the IR for Week 17, although McVay said there's a good chance that he misses the remainder of the regular season. QB Baker Mayfield is likely to start the Rams' last four games of the 2022 campaign but shouldn't be started outside of deeper two-quarterback fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/09/2022 12:55 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB John Wolford (neck) is officially active for the Week 14 game.
Huddle Up: Wolford will be in uniform this week, but it is not known if he will be the starting quarterback since Baker Mayfield and Bryce Perkins are also active for the game. Fantasy players probably should avoid all of the Rams quarterbacks.
Posted 12/07/2022 11:37 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (non-injury) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 7, and is not on the injury report for Week 14. The Rams did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Higbee was a big part of the passing game earlier in the season but has been held to under 50 yards in six of the last seven games. Fantasy players can consider benching Higbee if better options are available.
Posted 12/07/2022 11:36 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB John Wolford (neck) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 7, and is listed as questionable for Week 14. The Rams did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Wolford may be a game-time decision this week, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He struggled in his Week 13 start and can be avoided in all leagues.
Posted 12/07/2022 1:37 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB John Wolford (neck) was limited in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 6, after not participating the day before. The injury report was an estimation, though.
Huddle Up: Wolford's status for Week 14 remains up in the air, but he isn't a viable lineup option anyway.
Posted 12/07/2022 1:34 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams WR Ben Skowronek (shoulder) was limited for the second straight day on Tuesday, Dec. 6. The injury report was an estimation.
Huddle Up: Despite having an opportunity to show out with the Rams missing two top receivers, Skowronek hasn't done anything with it. He can be left on waivers.
Posted 12/07/2022 1:29 am GMT
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (rest) did not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 6. The team held a walk-through, so participation is an estimate.
Huddle Up: In two games with John Wolford under center, Higbee posted 8/73 in Week 10 and 2/14 in Week 13. Despite issues under center all season, Higbee is still a top-12 tight end in PPR. While tough to trust at the moment, owners will be hard-pressed to find a better solution in the wasteland that is the tight end position this season. Consider Higbee on the higher end of the TE2 spectrum going into Week 14.
Posted 12/05/2022 11:13 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams WR Ben Skowronek (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on the practice report Monday, Dec. 5. The Rams didn't practice so his status is an estimation.
Huddle Up: The injuries in the WR room haven't led to any increased production for Skowronek so he can be left on the bench.
Posted 12/05/2022 11:10 pm GMT
Los Angeles Rams QB John Wolford (neck) was listed as "did not participate" on the practice report Monday, Dec. 5. The Rams didn't practice so his status was an estimation.
Huddle Up: Wolford got the start in Week 13 and even in a prime matchup against the Raiders, he's nothing more than a back-end QB2.
Posted 12/05/2022 3:50 am GMT
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (neck) has a spinal cord contusion, and he is likely to miss the remainder of the season. Head coach Sean McVay said Sunday, Dec. 4 that Stafford is likely done for 2022, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Stafford's neck issue is causing numbness in his legs.
Huddle Up: The Rams slipped 3-9, so there is no sense is risking further damage to Stafford if he is healthy enough to return from the reserve/injured list in Week 17, as the defending champs are no longer in pursuit of a playoff spot. If his season is done, he finishes with 2,087 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions in nine starts.
