Key Things to Know
  • Writer JB Scott argues the Los Angeles Rams must feature rookie pass catchers CJ Daniels and Max Klare.

Writer JB Scott argues that the Los Angeles Rams must turn to rookies CJ Daniels and Max Klare following multiple injuries across their receiving corps. The team is currently missing its top four targets from the start of the season: Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson, and Jordan Whittington. After standing pat at the NFL trade deadline, the Rams have limited reinforcements available to bolster their struggling passing attack.

Scott contends that veteran contributors like Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, and Tyler Higbee have not performed well enough to solve the offense's issues. With upcoming matchups against difficult opponents such as the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers, the writer claims the Rams no longer have the luxury of sitting their talented rookie pass catchers.
