Los Angeles Rams — Ben Skowronek

It’s hard to find someone even worth cutting on the Los Angeles Rams roster. This was a team that won the Super Bowl a year ago? Really? They still have stars in Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford, and Aaron Donald, but the rest of the roster is pretty bare. So, to find a surprise cut, we look at players they were once high on that might fall off in the preseason and training camp.

Right now, Ben Skowronek is slated to be a starter in the Rams’ offense. He might be the number two next to Cooper Kupp. Stafford is looking to bounce back after the worst year of his career. The former Notre Dame product looked like he was going to be a steal by Sean McVay after he drafted him in the seventh round.

Skowronek immediately got injured, fracturing his forearm in his rookie season. Then, in December, it was announced he’d miss the rest of his sophomore season with a calf injury. He was decent last season, but he caught more than two passes once after October 16th. He also scored zero receiving touchdowns all season.

The Rams need playmakers. They have an interesting wide receiver room. Besides Skowronek and Kupp, the Rams still have Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell, and Demarcus Robinson. There are some really good players there, so Skowronek needs to show up in the preseason, or he’s going to get cut.
