uh ok at some of the teams in front of us... this a joke of a list.

7. Los Angeles Rams (2-0)
Week 2 ranking: 10

Under-the-radar fantasy standout: TE Tyler Higbee

Higbee finished 2019 on a hot streak, accumulating 522 receiving yards over the final five games, though he wasn't necessarily a go-to end zone target for Jared Goff, catching only two touchdown passes in that span. But after the Rams dominated the Eagles thanks to three touchdown receptions by Higbee -- equaling his total touchdowns from the entire 2019 season -- look for Goff to find the 6-foot-6, 255-pound tight end near the goal line more often. -- Lindsey Thiry

10. Los Angeles Rams (2-0)
Last week: Win at Philadelphia 37-19
Next week: at Buffalo

Sean McVay’s offense is evolving to again puzzle the defenses that rose up to stop him in 2019. If Jared Goff gets comfortable enough to go vertical consistently, the NFC West will solidify itself as the toughest division in football.

The Rams keep writing big fat checks like the salary cap doesn’t exist. That’s a problem for the future. At present, the happy (and rich) Rams players are kicking butt. They’re the surprise of the early season.

7. Los Angeles Rams 2-0 (10)

The Rams can run the ball with anyone again and keep taking pressure of Jared Goff with a friendlier passing game. They also have seen their defensive scheming shakeup work really well to complement their superstars, Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.

Sean McVay has this team rolling after two games. Maybe all those coaching changes were really important, like he said. Jared Goff is off to a good start.

7. Los Angeles Rams (2-0, LW: 11)

Sean McVay did a great job self-scouting in the offseason. The Rams’ offensive revival has been due to many factors, including the use of faster tempo, spreading the ball around, less predictability in personnel groupings and also committing to making late 2019 breakout Tyler Higbee a focal point of the offense. There’s a reason McVay is so highly respected.

Lol.
This narrative that's been tossed out there since 2016....It's like the experts predicting the big one, the earthquake that never happens.

 

[Mojo Ram]

That USA today list is pure nonsense, and not just because they put LA outside of the top 10.

The other lists i'm mostly okay with.

 

[bubbaramfan]

nfl.com has the Rams at #8 and the Bills at #6. Rams beat #11 Cowboys and #22 Eagles. Bills beat #30 Dolphins and #32 Jets.

Go figure.

Yeah but...the Bills have a QB the NFL is looking to prop up.

 

[rams1fan]

I think 8 to 10 right. While we have a seasoned offense the defense is still a question. No pass rush outside of Donald and a number of first time starters. and a first time DC.

Albeit there are some questions to be answered by the defense. But through two weeks we've only allowed a total of 6 points in the second half.

 

[PhillyRam]

Yeah what is that sites problem w/ McVay & Goff? They trash them all the time.

Did the guy once have a crush on McVay's girlfriend or something?

 

[FrantikRam]

On one hand, I don't like power rankings that just spit out the rankings in order of the standings.

But I also don't like how they seem to stick to preseason power rankings when you have no idea how some teams will play.

We most likely have the most impressive resume this far, aside from the Ravens. Can also forgive the Chiefs being ahead of us.

Everyone else? Where's the argument? I don't see it.

 

[The Ramowl]

Colin Cowherd has us at 4, which I honestly think is a bit high :

Seattle even higher at 2. Gonna be some great divisional games this year.

"Goff is a very good deliverer of the football."

 

[nighttrain]

Colin Cowherd has us at 4, which I honestly think is a bit high :

I think 4 is right on

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

I think 4 is right on

With me it's still our run D, and our pass rush seems even weaker this year. But other aspects of our D are really good. Kiser and even K Young seem better than I thought they'd be, while our OLBs are disappointing.

 

[dang]

The Herd is officially my favorite sports talking head. I would prefer the Rams to ascend slowly but surely but I love the love.

 

[Ram65]

It's hard to get serious about these early power rankings. It's going to have some big changes every week. I like this Rams team being overlooked. I think they believe without taking wins for granted. There is still much to improve.

 

[majrleaged]

I think 8 to 10 right. While we have a seasoned offense the defense is still a question. No pass rush outside of Donald and a number of first time starters. and a first time DC.

Yeah but cardinals and buffalo ahead of us is not right. It wasn't right before anybody played and it aint right now.

"The Rams keep writing big fat checks like the salary cap doesn’t exist. That’s a problem for the future. At present, the happy (and rich) Rams players are kicking butt. They’re the surprise of the early season. "

Earth to NBC Sports..............................The Rams have a sh*tload of salary cap space coming up in the next several years.
Again, the Rams front office keeps signing and paying players and these talking heads HOPE we are giving away the future because there is no way we can be good again with what we have. But, here we are again, right in the thick of things and the surprise of the NFL. They keep waiting for the rebuild and the tank job that isn't coming.
