PFF: Highest-graded rookies through Week 13 … https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-rookie-rankings-nfl-week-13-2019

8. S TAYLOR RAPP, LOS ANGELES RAMS
The start to his rookie campaign was a slow one, but Taylor Rapp is picking up steam as of late — his 82.5 overall grade since Week 7 is the fifth best among all qualifying safeties. In that timespan, Rapp has produced the third most defensive stops (20), fifth most combined pass breakups and interceptions (five) and has allowed just a 65.2 passer rating (seventh). Rapp has produced his best plays for the Rams when playing free safety — since Week 7, Rapp has played more snaps at that alignment then he had during the first six weeks and has had an 84.3 grade in that role, ranking behind only Tyrann Mathieu and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Sean McVay was asked today if there will be any hesitation to put Havenstein back at RT when he's healthy. It sure sounds like Bobby Evans has a good chance to stay put https://t.co/50zeWkTdMn

Rams DC Wade Phillips says Russell Wilson is the best off-schedule passer in the NFL.

Rams QB Jared Goff was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 13 performance. Goff completed 32 of 43 passes for 424 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-7 win over the Cardinals. The last time Goff was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week was in Week 4 of 2018, when he posted a perfect passer rating in a win over the Vikings.

“He said it, I didn’t,” – Todd Gurley, on Sean McVay’s comments yesterday that he’s stopped being an idiot and has increased Gurley’s workload.

Cowboys will now yell, scream, pout, etc. and Jerry Jones will talk about how they can still win the Super Bowl and then they will lose to the Rams next week.

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/06/nfl-rams-seahawks-week-14-betting-line-spread/

The Rams came into the week as 2.5-point underdogs against the Seattle Seahawks, even with the game being played at the Coliseum. It was just the second time in the last two seasons that the Rams weren’t favored at home, but that line has since flipped.

According to BetMGM, the Rams are now actually 1.5-point favorites over Seattle. That’s a four-point shift in a matter of days, which is unusual, to say the least.

It’s likely that a large contingent of bettors were taking the Rams with the points, which caused the oddsmakers to make the line less enticing for those backing Los Angeles. By shifting it to 1.5 points in favor of the Rams, it should level out the number of bets coming in on each team.

#LARams Tight Ends Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett have been as reliable as anybody could ask for in the passing game this season

Among TEs with at least 40 targets, Higbee (T-1st) and Everett (5th) both rank in the Top 5 of TEs in terms of lowest Drop Rates in 2019 pic.twitter.com/cr9uWLww1g

#LARams Cory Littleton has been on an absolute tear this season, proving to be one of the top LBs in the league

In 2019 (among LBs with at least 350 snaps), Littleton’s grades rank:

– 1st in Tackling
– 2nd in Coverage
– 5th in Pass Rushing
– 6th in Overall Defense

Cory Littleton …. now ranks sixth among all linebackers in overall grade this season. It may not come with a whole lot of recognition, but Littleton has been one of the premier coverage linebackers in the NFL for some time now. He now ranks fifth among all qualifying linebackers in coverage grade since 2016, and he owns top-10 marks in both forced incompletion rate and passer rating allowed over that same span.
