The Rams finished last season tied for 18th in wideout targets and 27th in red-zone targets, and their highest-scoring player at the position (Britt) ranked just 26th in fantasy points. ... Britt, who is no longer on the roster, left 111 targets behind. ... New head coach Sean McVay served as the offensive coordinator in Washington for three seasons. During that time, just one wideout (DeSean Jackson - 2014) finished in the top 20 in points at the position. Furthermore, their best receiver finished 36th (Pierre Garcon) and 30th (Jamison Crowder) in 2015 and 2016, respectively. ... Tavon Austin finished with a personal-best 106 targets in 2016, but his decreased role in the ground game cost him fantasy appeal. ... Robert Woods, signed during the offseason, could push for the team lead in targets and receptions. However, his statistical ceiling is limited with quarterback Jared Goff under center.

The Rams finished 28th in rushing attempts last season during what was a difficult campaign for fantasy disappointment Todd Gurley. Despite finishing fifth in touches among backs, he ranked just 20th in fantasy points and averaged 9.7 points a game. That was outside of the top 20 among backs with a minimum of 12 contests. ... New head coach Sean McVay liked to use a main runner as opposed to a committee while the offensive coordinator in Washington, however, so Gurley should see no shortage of work. ... The Rams offensive line ranked next to last in yards before contact, though the addition of Andrew Whitworth does breed at least some optimism for Gurley's prospects.

You've got to love people who can't do math giving it statistical projections.
