According to sources within the Rams' organization, QB Baker Mayfield would be in line to start for Los Angeles on Thursday Night Football if John Wolford is forced to miss the affair due to a lingering neck injury. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield, of course, was just claimed by the Rams on Tuesday after he was waived by Carolina. Wolford has been dealing with a neck injury for a few weeks now, though he did suit up and play against the Seahawks in Week 13. It sounds like Thursday's decision could come right down to pregame warmups. Mayfield starting would shockingly be a downgrade for what is already the current worst skill position group in the National Football League.
