I don't think so. I would think McVay has seen Kupp not last to make it to the playoffs 2 out of 3 playoff seasons...Assuming DJax makes it out of TC unscathed, I'd be shocked if he wasn't on the field for our first offensive play of the year.
And in the extremely unlikely event that somehow, DJax/Woods/Kupp all stayed healthy, I'd expect Van to see the same number of snaps as last year and Tutu to barely see the field this year.
4 deep - you probably forgot one of the best 3rd down receivers in the game - Ricky ProehlI think Jefferson will be given every opportunity to earn that 3rd WR position. Rams know that Jefferson is long term future whereas DJ is a 1 year rental.
Having said that, I think Jefferson must really take a step up this year. It’s his golden opportunity. DJ will be gone next year and Tutu is intended for spot situational duties. Very valuable, but still...
I just love this Ram WR corps. Best since GSOT days and even then WR corps was only 3 deep, wasn’t it?
Not sure what their numbers will be, but I am expecting their YPC to be up significantly.I could see their catches drop to the 70's

Precisely! If either Jackson or Atwell gets loose over the top even on a running play, it will put fear into opposing defensive backs knowing that had the ball gone to the open guy he would have scored. Even deep throw incompletions will cause trepidation if our speedsters blow open beyond them. They'll know they were lucky ... that time ..You can't coach/teach SPEED... and it can kill.
We were lacking in that area last season. Djax and Tutu will always have to be accounted for by the defense because of their speed. Just having one of them on the field will make our offense harder to defend... even when they don't get the ball. It's gonna open things up a lot more for the offense in both the passing game and the running game.
We needed that missing ingredient. McSlay made sure to get it for us this year.
Remember when our big hope was Brian Quick? holy crap! lolI think Jefferson will be given every opportunity to earn that 3rd WR position. Rams know that Jefferson is long term future whereas DJ is a 1 year rental.

OMG! I did forget Ricky Proehl.4 deep - you probably forgot one of the best 3rd down receivers in the game - Ricky Proehl
If it wasn’t for Ricky Proehl there probably is no 1999 Super Bowl win. That catch against the Bucs in the playoffs was HUGE!OMG! I did forget Ricky Proehl.
I am truly ashamed of myself...
Kurt's pass didn't suck...If it wasn’t for Ricky Proehl there probably is no 1999 Super Bowl win. That catch against the Bucs in the playoffs was HUGE!
Pretty smart for a really old Kansas boyKurt's pass didn't suck...
