Let’s take a look at where the Los Angeles Rams currently stand in the 2017 NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 1 of preseason.
The NFL preseason for Week 1 is officially underway, and with this in mind, that means it’s time to take a look at where the Los Angeles Rams currently sit in the latest round of NFL Power Rankings. After only winning four games all of last season, it’s easy to understand why the Rams would start off preseason near the bottom, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have what it takes to move up over the next few weeks before their first regular-season game against the Indianapolis Colts arrives.
Los Angeles has plenty of new members on board this time around, ranging from new head coach Sean McCvay to a stronger receiving corps consisting of new additions that include players such as Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. Just like last preseason, the Rams will kick things off against the Dallas Cowboys, and even though it’s only an exhibition game, this is still a big test when it comes to where McVay’s squad currently stands after months of spending time learning the head coach’s new system.

After failing to win a single game as a rookie in seven attempts, Jared Goff should have a much easier time running the offense this time around for Los Angeles, after the unit finished at the bottom of the league by only averaging 14 points per game. But more on that later, as it’s time to see where the Rams stand when compared to the other 31 teams by looking at the NFL Power Rankings for Week 1 of preseason.
