9 bold predictions for the Los Angeles Rams for the 2024 season
By Bret Stuter
(2) - Rams will boast 2 1000+ yard receivers
The LA Rams are no strangers when it comes to outstanding performances from multiple wide receivers in a single season. In both the 2018 and 2019 seasons, this offense boasted two 1000+ yard wide receivers in a single year. But in both cases, one of those receivers was veteran WR Robert Woods.
The team was close to boasting multiple 1000+ yard receivers in 2023. While rookie WR Puka Nacua went psycho by putting up 1,486 receiving yards in his first season, veteran WR Cooper Kupp put up 737 yards in just 12 games, despite being hobbled by injuries throughout the season.
Now Kupp appears to be good to go and injury-free. While Puka Nacua is fighting off a knee injury, he should be on track this season as well. They are both going to have excellent seasons in 2024. How can I tell?
Well a healthy and confident veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is your first clue.
You may suspect that an offense that is emphasizing more rushing yards would struggle to get even one receiver to the 1000+ receiving yards plateau. But that is not how it works in this offense. An effective rushing attack sets up the pass, and an effective passing attack sets up the run.
It's no secret that the Rams success in 2024 will depend on an effective offense. In 2024, this offense could end up among the NFL's top three in scoring and yards.
