Appreciate the feedback. I see it a bit different on the Rams guys and Cook. Rams when Kyren Williams, Kupp and Stafford are healthy are an elite offence. Kyren is a lock for 100+ yards and imo the #2 running back in terms of consistency behind CMC. Had a weird game this week with 2 fumbles, but take that out and he's hitting 30 fantasy points this week. Cooper Kupp is finally healthy and back to his former self. The Rams passing game is just light years better when they have a healthy Williams averaging over 5 yards per carry to keep teams honest while also being a receiving threat. The nice thing about starting Kupp and Puka is I'm probably guaranteed anywhere from 1-3 touchdowns between the two on top of 150-200 yards receiving and a lot of catches (1/2 ppr league). They also don't have terrible matchups with NO next week and Giants the week after, plus they're in the playoff race so they're motivated.
James Cook imo is a legit elite RB, and we're now seeing it with an OC that believes in him. He's a dangerous weapon in both the running and passing game. He's just put up 5 straight weeks of 100+ yards combined, and he's done it against PHI, KC and DAL the past 3 weeks. He should feast on LAC and NE to close out the year. Since the coaching swap at OC he's had 20+ touches in 3 of the last 4 games, and he's consistently getting red zone touches that he wasn't earlier in the year. Look for him to put up another dominant performance next week to keep the Bills in the playoff race.
My only worry is Etienne and Kittle and my QB situation (for next week). Kittle has been a boom or bust pick all year because SF has so many weapons that he doesn't always get targeted, but really he's still a must play and has 15+ point upside. Etienne struggling in the run game, but making up for it with pure volume, pass catching, and TDs (I sat him this week correctly into Baltimore's D despite every site telling me to start him over Cook). He gets TB and Carolina the next 2 weeks so should have higher upside, but I always have Devonta Smith, Ekeler(who I started and really don't trust after his usage last game), or Ken Walker as an option over Etienne.
My biggest worry is deciding who to start at QB. Purdy and Lamar playing each other might bring out some extra offence in a big showdown where neither might be a bad choice, but both teams just have such good defences. I'm considering starting Purdy after watching the Jags almost walk all over the Ravens D if not for throwing so many points away. SF just has so many weapons for Purdy with Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle and CMC heavily involved in the passing game, and with Baltimore losing Mitchell last night to a season ending injury their run game is now essentially Lamar and short yard runs with Gus Edwards.
