1 - Kupp and Nacua appear to be unstoppable

While the headlines have been filled with reports of injured offensive linemen, the real newsworthy news about this offense is the fact that both WR Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are in NFL mid-season form, are healthy, and appear nearly unstoppable. While that should not surprise anyone, it's certainly a significantly positive development from pre-season projections that has mired this offense as a middle of the road offense.

This passing offense is going to shock the NFL in 2024.

it's difficult to keep a lid on unbridled enthusiasm this season. There are been so many reports about Cooper Kupp's return to full health this season that it's almost impossible to not envision 1500+ receiving yards and 10+ touchdowns from hm. And pairing that up with reports of the lean, mean, receiver-machine Puka Nacua who appears to be far more physically and mentally fit for a breakout season in 2024.

Can this duo put up 3000 yards and 15+ touchdowns combined?

While you ponder that sensational goal for this season, keep in mind that Demarcus Robinson is back, and was a true difference-maker for this offense in 2023. That is knowing that he did not even have a role in the offense until the second half of the season. The team also has veteran speedster Tutu Atwell back and ready to challenge center field of opposing defenses.

The team has been showering rookie WR Jordan Whittington with praise, and even moved him into the rotation with the 1s in camp. And then there has been the incredible production of speedy WR Xavier Smith, and a surging Tyler Johnson. The Rams have a solid compliment of play-makers and chain-movers in the wide receiver room this season.
