Josh Reynolds has stepped up in the absence of Cooper Kupp, but he hasn't seen the same volume as Kupp did.

In the eight regular season games Reynolds has played without Kupp, he's averaged 3.7 catches, 52.1 yards and 0.7 scores on 6.7 targets. The best way for Reynolds to see more volume is if there's more volume to go around. For the Rams, that means playing in high-scoring, close games.

This season, in games that were decided by single-digits, LA averaged 39.2 pass attempts. In games with larger differentials, they averaged just 30.7 passes.

A close game against New England is Reynolds' best chance to see an above-average workload, and there's a chance the Pats focus their secondary on stopping Cooks and Robert Woods, possibly giving Reynolds a chance to make plays.
