A shoulder injury to Robert Woods opened the door for Josh Reynolds in Week 12, with the rookie playing 61 snaps (84% of plays) after seeing the field for 85 plays (13.5%) in the first 10 games combined. The 2017 fourth-round pick responded to the boost in playing time with 4 catches on 6 targets for 37 yards and his first NFL touchdown. (He had only 1 reception on 3 targets entering last week.) With Woods expected out another two weeks, Reynolds will once again see a significant workload as the Rams face off with a much softer defense than they saw last Sunday (Saints) in the Arizona Cardinals.
Arizona has allowed the ninth-most fantasy point to wideouts even with Patrick Peterson locking down one half of the field. The Pro Bowl corner has forced opponents to turn to their second and third receivers more with multiple receivers gaining at least 40 yards in the same game eight times this season. One of those instances came when the two clubs last faced each other in Week 7 with Woods, Cooper Kupp, and Sammy Watkins each catching at least 3 passes for 42 yards.
