26. Los Angeles Rams (24)

The good news for the Los Angeles Rams is Jared Goff has plenty of time to adjust to playing in the NFL after the rookie quarterback saw plenty of highs and lows during the preseason.

For now, Jeff Fisher realizes the smart thing to do is have Case Keenum run the offense this upcoming season as the team finds themselves in a good position to be contenders. While the offense ranked near the bottom of the league in 2015, the defense was considered one of the most underrated in the league thanks to a rising star in Aaron Donald.

The defense should be considered one of the best once again, but the only chance this team will have at being contenders in the NFC is with improvement on offense. Good thing having a running back with the talent level of Todd Gurley will make life easier for Keenum on offense.
