Expectations for the Los Angeles Rams Rookies

Pharaoh Cooper: 42 receptions for 517 yards and three touchdowns; 21 rushes for 263 yards and two touchdowns

I would be shocked if Tavon Austin didn’t surpass 100 targets and 70 receptions, while Kenny Britt should see a rise in both categories as well. It’s no surprise they were the Rams’ top two options, but to cement that sentiment, Benny Cunningham’s 38 targets were half of Britt’s and the team’s fourth most. Coupled with the loss of Cook’s volume of targets, Cooper will provide another viable weapon. I’m a big fan of his game, and I still can’t understand how he fell to the fourth round. Regardless, I envision him working into the Rams’ third target as Brian Quick was disappointing last season. The AC is predicated on four and five receiver sets and putting receivers in motion, an intriguing aspect that will get him out in space both as a runner and receiver in a role striking similar to Austin’s; it also looks for two guys with elite speed. In the red zone, only four Rams had more than 30 rushing attempts with 55 percent of them going to Todd Gurley, so look for him to be utilized there as well.
