In Davante Adams fashion, he finished 2023 with 175 targets, the second most of any player. In non-Davante Adams fashion, he was only the WR10 in PPR despite that. Adams was slightly better in the games Aiden O'Connell started than the ones Jimmy Garoppolo started, averaging 16.2 PPR points per game vs. 14.8. So there's hope that either Gardner Minshew or AOC can improve the target quality slightly for Adams. The other question is whether Adams can keep the volume up at age 31 with the addition of rookie phenom Brock Bowers to go along with Jakobi Meyers. But it's hard to foresee him completely falling off without some kind of injury. 

The Rams used a third round pick on Michigan running back Blake Corum which immediately put fear in the minds of Kyren Williams fantasy managers everywhere. Corum was a wrecking ball in Michigan over the last two seasons, leading the nation in rushing in 2022 and leading the country in rushing touchdowns in 2023. Corum is also a capable pass catcher but is he going to fully supplant Williams as he comes off of a year where he rushed for 1,144 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 206 yards and three scores? I doubt it, like most of this rookie RB class, Corum has potential but will likely need something significant to happen to the incumbent starter to really make an impact.

 Puka Nacua not only had the best season a fifth-round rookie has ever had but he just set the record for receiving yards by rookie with 1,486. Yes, more yards than Bill Groman (1,473), Ja'Marr Chase (1,455), and Justin Jefferson (1,400). That has earned him first round draft capital in early 2024 drafts as folks wonder whether he can improve or repeat on that season. Defenses will surely be keying in on Nacua more this year but it will once again be Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson as the top weapons for Matthew Stafford so the same opportunity will be there for him this year.

Offensive coordinator Shane Waldon has been notorious for rotating his tight ends going back to his time as the Rams tight end coach in 2017. In fact, he's never had a tight end play more than 75% of the snaps from then until now. So Parkinson was stuck in the tight end rotation along with Noah Fant and Will Dissly. This year, Parkinson escapes to join the Los Angeles Rams, who haven't been afraid to let their starting tight end play big snap shares. With Tyler Higbee coming off a serious knee injury, it may be Parkinson vs. the young Davis Allen battling for that starting job early on. That role could have backend TE1 upside as we have seen from Higbee and, if one of Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua goes down, now the upside is a little more interesting.

 Tyler Higbee was already having a bit of a down year behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua when he suffered a devastating ACL injury on a low hit. And it happened very late in the season which could affect his ability to return on time in 2024. That leaves the door open for the second year Davis Allen and the recent acquisition Colby Parkinson to carve out a role or even take over that starting job. Higbee was already a tough bet with the two star wide recievers commanding so many targets and he's even more difficult to stash given the recent circumstances.
