BEN SKOWRONEK NEWS

Just two touches Skowronek caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-27 victory against the Falcons.

Impact Skowronek saw a dip in overall production but was on the field for 54 out of 68 snaps on offense, an encouraging sign that the team still trusts the second-year wideout significantly more than Brandon Powell and Tutu Atwell, who combined for just eight offensive snaps. As long as Van Jefferson (knee) continues to miss time, Skowronek should hold on to the No. 3 wide receiver role with a Week 3 home matchup against the Raiders looming.

Doesn't play in preseason opener Skowronek (coach's decision) did not play in the Rams' 29-22 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

Impact The second-year wideout is on track to open the season as the No. 3 receiver with Van Jefferson (knee) potentially out of action for Week 1, so it wasn't entirely surprising he joined starters Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson as inactives. Skowronek made only a modest impact as a rookie with an 11-133 line on 20 targets, but that experience could certainly help him get off to a strong start if he does indeed enjoy an elevated role to open the 2022 season.

Listed as starting wideout Skowronek was listed as one of the Rams' three starting receivers on the first unofficial depth chart released Wednesday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact With Van Jefferson (knee) uncertain to be ready for Week 1, Skowronek will be first in line to join Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson in three-receiver sets. Skowronek has some competition for the No. 3 role, however, with 2021 second-round pick Tutu Atwell, Brandon Powell and Jacob Harris representing his top challengers.

Working in committee Skowronek is filling the No. 3 receiver role along with a handful of other players while Van Jefferson is out due to a knee injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skowronek has the most in-game experience out of the glut of receivers sharing time with him, and he has a more robust skill set that matches Jefferson's do-it-all approach to receiving. Skowronek's versatility means he can block and play any of the receiver positions, but he did have a troubling three drops on 20 targets and doesn't have the field-stretching speed fellow committee members Tutu Atwell, Jacob Harris and Brandon Powell possess. Seeing Skowronek in action during the preseason will give fantasy managers a better idea of the type of usage coach Sean McVay will be looking for out of the second-year player.

OBJ injury leads to increased role Skowronek hauled in two of five targets for 12 yards in the Rams' win Sunday over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

Impact Skowronek saw career highs in snaps and targets, as Odell Beckham left late in the first half with an ACL injury. The rookie Skowronek played a limited role this season, compiling 11 receptions on 20 targets for 133 yards while operating as the Rams' No. 4 wideout on the depth chart. How big of a role Skowronek will have moving forward will largely depend on what happens with Beckham, as not only did he potentially suffer a significant injury during the Super Bowl, he also is set to be a free agent.

Drops would-be touchdown in win Skowronek failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

Impact This was the first target of the postseason for Skowronek, and it was an unfortunate drop, as the rookie would have scored a touchdown if he'd completed the catch. Skowronek likely will slot in as the No. 4 wide receiver for the Rams and play a limited role in the Super Bowl, so it's unlikely he makes a significant fantasy impact.

Cleared for Sunday Skowronek (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact He closed out the week with a full practice, following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. While Skowronek played only seven snaps in the wild-card round against Arizona, his role as the No. 4 receiver puts him one injury away from steady playing time.

Limited practice Thursday Skowronek (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact The wide receiver opened the week with a limited estimation at Wednesday's walk-through session and followed it up with a limited effort at Thursday's first padded practice. Skowronek suffered the back injury in Monday's wild-card win over the Cardinals, and his practice status Friday will provide a clearer indication of his availability for Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Buccaneers.
