PFF's fantasy football recap focuses on player usage and stats, breaking down all the vital information you need to achieve fantasy success in 2022.

Click to jump to a recap:

Monitor the Dalton Schultz injury: Schultz continued to deal with a knee injury, which greatly limited his playing time.

- He played six snaps in the first quarter, one on a third down in the second quarter and one on a three-tight end, short-yardage play in the third quarter.
- The fact that he was able to come back later in the game is a good sign his situation hasn’t gotten too much worse.
- He’s appeared on the injury report the past two weeks with the knee injury.
- It could be worth leaving him on the bench until he plays a full game and stops showing up on the injury report.

Consider Cutting Allen Robinson II: Robinson was held to under 25 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games with the Rams.

- His 10.6% targets per route run is the fourth-lowest rate this season for those with at least 100 routes run.
- The Rams started to rotate Robinson off the field more frequently.
- Los Angeles stayed in 11 personnel the entire game, so this was subbing him out to put another wide receiver in rather than a rotation based on personnel group.
- Second-year receiver Tutu Atwell played a career-high nine offensive snaps and ran eight routes after just 10 career routes in his other six games.
- Atwell made his first career catch, for 54 yards.
- Van Jefferson is currently on injured reserve and is expected to miss one more game. The Rams have a bye in Week 7, and Jefferson is expected to be back in Week 8.
- He will further complicate the Rams’ wide receiver situation and potentially cut further into Robinson’s playing time.

Table Notes

Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three stats have these plays removed.
Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy would be from a clear thrown-away pass, where the NFL may give the target to the nearest receiver, while this data will not.
Carries are only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles won’t count for the total number of carries in the game.
