2016 Los Angeles Rams Outlook
Todd Gurley either didn't play or wasn't a big part of the game-plan in the first three weeks of the season, so anything that happened in those weeks can go in the scrape yard in terms of predicting 2016. Beyond that though, once Gurley became a significant part of the game-plan( Weeks 4-16) he averaged 18.5 rushes per game, 92.2 rushing yards per game and .83 touchdowns per game. And that was his rookie year coming off a major injury (Torn ACL).
With a healthy Gurley back and healthy for his second season, it should be expected that the Rams are going to be one of the run-heaviest teams in the NFL in 2016. Compounding that, they certainly don't want to put their prized asset, Jared Goff, in too many bad situations as a rookie. The Rams were 29th in pass attempts last year and 15th in rush attempts in 2015. The Rams were also last in total plays run in 2015, which is obviously a big issue for fantasy purposes, but that should increase with better quarterback play. Goff is a touch-passer and should be throwing a lot of passes close to the line of scrimmage. He won't break any Yards Per Attempt (YPA) records, but he'll be able to dump it off to Tavon Austin and Pharoh Cooper, where they can do most of the work.
Overall, other than Todd Gurley and in some respect, Tavon Austin, there isn't much here in terms of fantasy and DFS potential. They play in a brutal division and have to face top defenses Arizona and Seattle in four of their 16 games. They've been dealing with that for ten years though.
In Conclusion, this will be the most talent a Rams roster has had since the early 2000s teams, and there's finally some reason to be optimistic that this team can move the ball. While they won't be near the top ten in total plays, they should see significant improvement in that area.
