Los Angeles Rams

Early in camp it appeared that Watkins had regained the explosiveness and agility that predated last season s foot injury. Now the question is whether he can stay healthy going forward. In the second half of 2015 Watkins was one of the most dominant receivers in the game, but last season s lingering foot issue left a lot of fantasy owners with a bad taste in their mouths. Now the move to Los Angeles further complicates the situation. In mid-preseason Watkins will need to learn a completely new offense and develop chemistry with second year quarterback Jared Goff, who is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. One positive note for Watkins is that much like in Buffalo, there should be little competition for targets at the receiver position. Former teammate Robert Woods got big money from the Rams this offseason, which raised some eyebrows because he s more of a WR2/3 NFL talent, gadgety scat back-wideout Tavon Austin gets manufactured touches, and rookie Cooper Kupp is slated for slot receiver duties. Watkins should reprise his alpha dog role with the Rams as the most talented wideout on the roster, but his future value is linked to the development of Goff for the time being.

Higbee will battle Gerald Everett for playing time in the Rams offense, but these are two very different players at the tight end position. Higbee is a big, athletic pass catcher who can be both and in-line tight end and a field stretcher. He also has a bit of a nasty streak that makes him a difficult player to bring down after the catch. From a talent perspective there's some poor man's Travis Kelce to his game if he can learn to maximize his ability. But don't overlook the fact that he's a holdover from the last coaching regime, and after falling to the Rams in the draft a couple years ago due to off the field issues, he'll need to prove himself all over again.

The man nicknamed "Greg the leg" has established himself as a power kicker, successfully kicking over 60 yards in 2012 and 2015. However, he's struggled with consistency since entering the NFL, which limits his value as a starting fantasy kicker. He owns a lousy 79.4 career field goal percentage despite improving his field goal accuracy last year, ranking ninth among NFL kickers with an adequate 86.4 percent. The Rams offense ranked last in almost every team statistic last season, limiting Zuerlein's fantasy upside. If you want a kicker that has the range to knock down 55-plus yard FG's on a consistent basis, Zuerlein's the man.

DE Aaron Donald is one of the most feared defensive lineman in the game, there's no arguing that, however, the rest of the team's defense just doesn't have the depth to shut down the offensive juggernauts in their division that are the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals. They surrendered the most fantasy points among D/ST last season in 2016 and were torched for 300 total yards or more in 10 of their 16 games played. There weren't any notable additions to the Rams defense through free agency or the draft, however, ILBs Alec Ogletree and Mark Barron add playmaking potential. Their special team's unit is a different story. Returner Tavon Austin has been a machine returning punts for the Rams, totaling 2,271 yards and three touchdowns during his four-year career, including a league-high 44 returns last season. RB Benjamin Cunningham and WR Pharoh Cooper split return duties last season, collecting 1,122 yards; the best mark in the NFL. The organization brought in 40 years of coaching experience in defensive co-ordinator Wade Phillips, so there is a good chance the Rams improve on that side of the ball in 2017.
