Rams' 2022 opponents finalized Here's who the Los Angeles Rams are scheduled to face for the 2022 season.
Cam Akers - Sees eight touches in 2021 debut Akers (Achilles) rushed five times for three yards and caught all three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Impact Akers made his 2021 debut in Week 18 after missing practically the entirety of the regular season with an Achilles injury. The 21-year-old was eased back into action with just eight total touches while Sony Michel (21-43-0) retained his lead-back role. Akers is more versatile of an asset and provides more upside than the current veteran starter, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Akers carve out a larger role -- assuming good health -- in a showdown between the Rams and Cardinals in the first round of the playoffs.

Tyler Higbee - Two scores in loss Higbee caught six of eight targets for 55 yards and two scores in Sunday's 27-24 loss to San Francisco.
Impact Higbee appeared to sustain a painful injury on the Rams' first drive of the second quarter, but he was able to return just in time to catch a wide-open lob in the back of the end zone. The veteran tight end even feigned an injury before breaking into dance after scoring his first of two touchdowns on the day. It was a strong finish to a decent fantasy campaign, as the 28-year-old finishes with 61 receptions, 560 yards and five scores in 15 games this regular season. Higbee's projections should remain modest in the first round of the playoffs against Arizona next week.

Sony Michel - Bottled up on 22 touches Michel rushed 21 times for 43 yards and caught one of four targets for six more yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Michel's recent string of strong play came to a screeching halt, as he was barely able to move the rock against a stout 49ers front seven. The veteran power back still dominated the backfield touches (22 out of 30 potential RB touches) despite the return of Cam Akers (Achilles), although the latter was expected to be eased into action this week. Michel may see his workhorse role on offense erode with the versatile Akers back in the fold, beginning with next week's wild-card matchup against the Cardinals. A potential timeshare limits the veteran's value, but he should still remain involved in early-down work while getting first crack at goal-line rushing attempts.

Matthew Stafford - Starts hot, finishes poorly Stafford completed 21 of 32 pass attempts for 238 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Impact Stafford came out of the gates firing, completing his first nine pass attempts and finishing 15 of 16 with two scores in the first half. The 49ers made adjustments on both sides of the ball, limiting the Rams' passing game in the second half and securing victory in overtime. Despite the loss, the veteran quarterback finishes the regular season with one of the best efforts of his career. Stafford will carry final totals of 4,886 passing yards, 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions into the first round of the playoffs.
