3 way too early bold predictions for the Los Angeles Rams 2024 season

Puka Nacua leads the NFL in receiving yards

Matthew Stafford is not afraid to throw the football to his best wide receiver, just ask Calvin Johnson and Cooper Kupp. Well, Puka Nacua is the third installment of Stafford's next elite WR, and he'll lead the NFL in receiving yards in 2024. Nacua burst onto the scene in 2023 as a late-round rookie, and does have the Matthew Stafford advantage.

With Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson still in the mix, that will force opposing defenses to respect those players, which should make life a bit easier for Nacua, who caught 105 passes for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns in 2023. Nacua really doesn't have anything preventing him from making a huge leap in year two.

And based on how well he played during his rookie season, a year two leap would look quite impressive, and he'll at least lead the NFL in receiving yards next season.

LA Rams are in NFC West race until the last week of the season

While I do not think that the LA Rams will win the NFC West this year, they can surely hang in the division until the very end. With how good the San Francisco 49ers have been in recent years, many aren't thinking twice about picking them to again win the division in 2024, and while I would agree, the Rams are going to have something to say about that.

In fact, the Rams are going to remain firmly in the NFC West race until the end of the season. Many may be shocked that the Rams would hang around as long as I think they can. The team really has nothing stopping them from winning the whole thing in 2024. And heck, they certainly can. While the 49ers will win the NFC West in 2024, the Rams will hang around until the very end.
