Offensive Rankings
Okay, enough with all this talk about the Bengals. How about the LA Rams and the amazing offense Rams Head Coach Sean McVay has coached up? The Rams are still without their best weapon, Super Bowl MVP WR Cooper Kupp, and yet they are an offensive force to be reckoned with.

LA Rams RB Kyren Williams has taken the starting gig as the new featured rusher for the Rams offense, QB Matthew Stafford looks like himself and the offensive line looks like it can hold its own when at full strength. There is a lot to like here and Stafford, Williams, and Nacua find themselves among the league leaders through 2 weeks.
