NFL predictions: Rams finally use C.J. Daniels on offense

The Los Angeles Rams are set to utilize C.J. Daniels in their offensive strategy against the Washington Commanders in Week 9, according to predictions. The Rams are favored (-4.5) over the Commanders, according to FanDuel. Washington's pass defense allows 243 yards per game, making it likely that the Rams will focus on the passing game. Despite reports of Matthew Stafford dealing with elbow soreness, the veteran quarterback is expected to lead the team's passing attack.

Predictions include Stafford throwing for 275 yards and 3 touchdowns, Tutu Atwell averaging 18.0+ yards per punt return, and the Rams converting 50% of their third downs. With Davante Adams missing, the Rams need production from their wide receivers, and C.J. Daniels is expected to take over the third wide receiver role. The team has been missing Davante Adams, so having Daniels step up will be crucial.
