3. Los Angeles Rams

Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Josh Reynolds, Tyler Higbee

The Cardinals know this trio all too well unfortunately.  The Cardinals have shown to have difficulty against all of these guys.

Tyler Higbee is of course a tight end but he’s that extra receiver that quarterback Jared Goff can consistently use.  Even without Brandin Cooks who moved on to the Houston Texans, this is a formidable group.

The Rams receivers may only go as far as Goff takes them though.  On paper, they should dominate most of their games.

On the field, Woods had 90 receptions for 1,134-yards in 2019.  However he only scored two touchdowns.  Kupp was the go to guy in the end zone with 10 touchdowns on 94 receptions and 1,161-yards.

With Cooks gone, Reynolds should be able to step into the number three slot and produce consistently.  They will be a lot of fun to watch for sure, except of course in the two games against the Cardinals.
