Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that WR Van Jefferson (knee) will be questionable to play Sunday against the Saan Francisco 49ers.

This is an important position for the Rams offense, as only three receivers tend to get targeted weekly. Skowronek would be the cheapest dart throw in DFS this week if Jefferson is unavailable.

Rams WR Van Jefferson (shoulder) was limited Friday after practicing in full Thursday.

Not a great sign for Jefferson, but maybe he had time spent with the trainers that limited his practice instead of a setback.

I'm told Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. has tested positive for COVID19, per league source.

Like the Browns, the Rams closed their training facility and entered league protocols on Tuesday. Vaccinated players, of course, need to test negative twice in 24 hours to get cleared, but it's another player on a long list over the past few days.

Rams WR DeSean Jackson has received permission to seek a trade and will sit out Week 8.

Hopefully Jackson can land somewhere and continue his NFL career. Jefferson and Atwell stand to benefit the most from Jackson seeking a trade.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson has a chance to play a significant role this season.

The Van Jefferson hype machine took a hit when the Los Angeles Rams signed veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Still, according to Fowler, Jefferson may earn the number three wide receiver role and spell Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp in two wide sets. Fowler added that DeSean will still have his packages but that 'the Rams won't overload his snaps.' Currently 69th in our wide receiver rankings, Jefferson may see a value increase if/when he is officially named the number three. This news makes him an intriguing late-round flier, and someone who those who have already drafted may want to check the waiver wire for. DeSean Jackson's already tenuous value will take a hit if Fowler's prediction comes to fruition. This is a situation to monitor.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been placed on the league’s COVID-19 reserve list.

Players are placed on COVID-19 reserve if they test positive or if they have close contact with someone who tested positive. It is unknown whether Kupp tested positive or is classified as a close contact. Kupp is the Rams’ leader this season with 92 catches and 974 yards. If he can’t be activated in time for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals, that would be a major blow to the Rams’ hopes, the story went on to say. It could mean Reynolds and Jefferson see more snaps and action, but with Jared Goff out, the passing game is likely going to be limited for the Rams.

The Athletic projects Rams rookie WR Van Jefferson to be the third wide receiver over Josh Reynolds.

Reynolds was expected to take over the Brandin Cooks role in the Rams offense but it appears the rookie may have beaten him out in camp. The Rams throw a ton and play at one of the quickest paces in the league, so any player getting a significant snap share in that offense carries fantasy potential. For now, Jefferson will be a low-usage option behind Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and TE Tyler Higbee.

The Rams expect that Josh Reynolds will, or at least play a significantly increased role, this season.

The Rams think Reynolds can step in with the loss of Brandin Cooks to the Texans. A fourth-round pick in 2017, Reynolds served mostly as a backup the past three seasons, but filled in as a starter when needed. In 48 games, Reynolds caught 61 passes for 832 yards and seven touchdowns.
