The thought of all the fantasy weaponry in the rugged NFC West has me biting my lip with goosebumps climbing my arms. Dynasty fantasy football is both a long and short game. This division has you covered either way.
The 49ers were conference champs and topped the division with 12 wins, but the Rams and Seahawks both finished above .500 with the former earning a Wild Card berth. Even the Cardinals, under new head coach Jonathan Gannon, showed some teeth despite logging only four wins. Looking ahead at 2024 and beyond, all four teams have plenty to offer in the way of fantasy production at every position. Let’s dive into some dynasty draft advice for the Los Angeles Rams.

Dynasty Draft Advice: NFC West
Check out our dynasty fantasy football draft advice for different teams in the NFC West.
Los Angeles Rams Dynasty Draft Advice
It sure was nice to see a healthy Matthew Stafford last season. The grizzled veteran finished 2023 with six QB1 performances in his last seven games with 15 passing touchdowns and only four interceptions during that stretch. The Rams have good weapons out wide and in the backfield, setting the stage for Stafford to distribute the ball at all three levels in the potent Sean McVay offense. He is statistically a QB2 in fantasy with a very steady floor and the occasional spike week. His age and retirement teetering are already baked into his dynasty value. Stafford is a pacifier.
It was a banner season for Rams RB Kyren Williams. The Notre Dame alum was thought to be too “unathletic” to make it in the league. Turns out that if you’re good at football, nothing else matters. Williams was third in the NFL in rushing yards with 1,144 and he scored 15 touchdowns from scrimmage. That landed him at RB7 in PPR scoring despite being virtually free last offseason in dynasty leagues. Even though the Rams took Michigan’s Blake Corum in the second round of the draft this spring, I still envision a hefty workload for the Golden Domer. He plays the game how McVay envisions for his system and that means a great deal.
It was here at FantasyPros where you heard the loudest screeches in favor of Puka Nacua in 2023 rookie drafts. The BYU standout broke every rookie receiving record on the books. No, he is not someone who will lose value. When Cooper Kupp was healthy and active, it was still Nacua who drew favor from Stafford. Kupp is ducking the old “injury-prone” garbage now, which opens the window for a contending dynasty roster to make a run at him for minimal cost. There is still plenty to go around in this passing game, especially since the TE room is an abject disaster.
Tyler Higbee is on the mend from a knee injury suffered last season, but the Rams only added Colby Parkinson in response. McVay only needs a warm body to chip and catch layup throws anyway. The entire passing scheme revolves around opening windows to Kupp and Nacua, before checking down to the RB or TE. It isn’t a group I intend to pay any attention to in dynasty, even in the most dire moments of bye weeks and injury hell.
