Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff, players to watch vs. Saints in Week 9

2. Josh Reynolds

The second player is an underrated member of the Rams. Against the Packers, he really stepped up and made his presence known. With Cooper Kupp either still out or limited for Week 9, one player to keep your eye on is Josh Reynolds. Reynolds became one of Goff’s go-to targets against the Packers and hopefully, the trend will continue against the Saints.

Before his big game against the Packers, Reynolds had zero touchdowns and only four receptions for the entire season. Mostly, he was overshadowed by Kupp and Brandin Cooks. His game against the Packers proved how underutilized he was and how he has the potential to make big plays. The loss of Kupp could have been dreadful but Reynolds made sure it wasn’t.

Going up against the Saints, Reynolds will hopefully make some big plays. The Saints probably won’t put their top corner on him so it will work out for the Rams. Even if they do stick Marshon Lattimore on him, Reynolds has newfound chemistry with Goff. No doubt Goff will be trying to feed him the ball so it will be up to Reynolds.

Looking at the other receivers, I see Reynolds having a better chance at scoring. I think the Saints will play heavy coverage on Cooks. As long as the Rams can utilize Reynolds properly, he’s bound to make an impact.
