Matt Gay - Finishes season strong Gay connected on his lone field-goal kick and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to San Francisco.
Impact The second-year Ram finished the campaign with an elite 94.1 field-goal percentage and missed just a single extra point all season for a 98.0 percentage. Gay should also set up nicely for the postseason and be a solid fantasy contributor for the duration of Los Angeles' playoff run.

Ben Skowronek - Held in check in finale Skowronek failed to catch either of his two targets during Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to San Francisco. He played 17 of 65 offensive snaps.
Impact While Skowronek finished the regular season with a modest 11 receptions for 133 yards, he did climb into a consistent role as the No. 4 receiver down the stretch for Los Angeles. The rookie probably hasn't been dependable enough to rely on in the majority of postseason fantasy settings, but he is receiving semi-regular playing time for those in cavernous formats or who are looking for a true flier.

Odell Beckham Jr. - Shut down by Niners again Beckham caught just two of five targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to San Francisco.
Impact This was an uninspiring finish to the campaign for Beckham. He posted a respectable 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns through eight games after being acquired by the Rams midseason, but two poor outings against San Francisco took a toll on his final numbers. Additionally, his fantasy outlook is increasingly appearing to be touchdown dependent, as he only topped 50 receiving yards in two of his eight games with Los Angeles. As a result, Beckham probably should be viewed as a boom-or-bust target against Arizona in next week's wild-card matchup. For what it's worth, he did have one of his best showings as a Ram against the Cardinals in Week 14 with six receptions for 77 yards and a score.
JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Van Jefferson - Cool stretch continues in loss Jefferson caught two of his three targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to San Francisco.
Impact It was a disappointing final quarter of the campaign for Jefferson. He finished with just nine receptions for 123 yards over the final four games of the regular season, which limited him to a 50-802-6 line for the year. Still, there were definite signs from the sophomore, and Jefferson is clearly an important piece of the passing attack for Los Angeles. It also wouldn't be surprising if his numbers improved during the duration of the Rams' playoff run. He's probably still should be viewed as a risky fantasy target with just modest upside in this week's wild-card matchup against Arizona, though.
