Offensive Lineup

The LA Rams will run a variety of formations in 2020. While the range of those formations may vary, I expect that the team will run 11, 12, 21, and 22 packages on offense this year. What does that mean?  The first digit is the number of backs, and the second digit is the number of tight ends. Since the Rams offensive line is made up of five OL plus a QB, the remaining players in any formation are assumed to be wide receivers.

QB: Jared Goff

RB1: Cam Akers

RB2: Darrell Henderson

WR1: Robert Woods

WR2: Cooper Kupp

WR3: Josh Reynolds

TE1: Tyler Higbee

TE2: Gerald Everett

LT: Andrew Whitworth

LG: Austin Corbett

C: Austin Blythe

RG: David Edwards

RT: Rob Havenstein

FB/TE3: Johnny Mundt

Initial logic

To start things off the most obvious set-in-stone starter for your LA Rams is quarterback Jared Goff. No need for further discussion. The Goffy Goober (the greatest Spongebob Movie reference nickname of all time) will his revenge for people underrating him.

Rookie running back Cam Akers was drafted to replace veteran Todd Gurley and should be a shoo-in for RB1.  However, I still expect a somewhat split backfield with second-year RB Darrell Henderson stealing some reps as a change in pace back.
