4. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams clearly need to add talent across the board offensively, and at wide receiver in particular. For better or worse, they have gotten a close look at Floyd to this point his career playing against him twice a year. In nine career games against St. Louis/Los Angeles, Floyd has just one 100-yard game (Week 13-2015) and only two games with five or more catches.

That track record against the Rams is not an outlier compared to the rest of his career, unfortunately, so it’s hard to know what to take from it other than a confirmation of Floyd’s ongoing underachievement.

The Rams’ new head coach, along with a possible new general manager, has to prioritize adding pieces around quarterback Jared Goff heading into next season. There’s an opportunity to get a jump on that process by adding Floyd for the rest of this season,  but he should be on their radar for sure when free agency starts next March.

Based on upside alone, the Rams have to take a long look at Floyd at some point.
