Notable Injury Designations

The Rams have several players listed as questionable, including S Kamren Kinchens (shoulder), DT Poona Ford (calf), and RT David Quessenberry (groin). The Panthers, on the other hand, have several players ruled out, including CB Jaycee Horn (concussion), LB Christian Rozeboom (hip/hamstring), LB Claudin Cherelus (concussion), G Chandler Zavala (calf), and C Cade Mays (ankle).

What’s at Stake?

A win for the Rams would push their lead over the Chicago Bears for the NFC’s top seed to one game and maintain their one-game lead over the Seattle Seahawks for the NFC West. The Panthers, meanwhile, can keep alive their hopes of winning the NFC South with a victory.

Matchup to Watch

The matchup between Rams RB Kyren Williams and the Panthers’ linebackers will be crucial. The Panthers are 21st in the NFL in estimated points added per play against the run (-0.044), and the absence of Christian Rozeboom could allow Williams to control the game on the ground.

Keys to Victory for the Rams

For the Rams to emerge victorious, they need to:

• Rush for more than 150 yards
• Sack QB Bryce Young at least three times and limit him to 250 yards passing
• Avoid turning the ball over

Fantasy Sleeper

WR Tutu Atwell, who has returned from a stint on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, is a fantasy sleeper in this matchup. His speed makes him a threat for a game-breaking play that can put up quick points.

Prediction

The Rams are predicted to win 38-14. The beat reporter’s record stands at 10-1 overall and 7-4 against the spread.
