There have been some big headlines in the NFL this week, but perhaps none were bigger than Jalen Ramsey’s move from Jacksonville to Los Angeles. The Rams traded corner Marcus Peters to Baltimore (which is a plus for the Ravens) to make room for one of the league’s best defensive backs. And there will be no time to waste, as Ramsey will likely be matched up against Julio Jones (DFS salary $8,000 and highest-priced WR) in what is projected to be the highest scoring game of the week.

The Falcons’ defense has been atrocious this season, allowing the second-most points per game, only behind the Dolphins. Constantly playing from behind has forced the Falcons to throw, and, boy, are they doing a lot of that. Atlanta is one of three teams to average over 300 passing yards per game, while its running average is good for the fourth-fewest yards per game. With a 1-5 record and playoff goals out of reach due to the Saints (5-1) and Panthers (4-2) over-performing with their backup quarterbacks, the Falcons will be playing for pride throughout the rest of the season.

On the other hand, the 3-3 Rams need to get a grip on their season before it slips away to the 49ers (5-0) and Seahawks (5-1.) It’s the first time Los Angeles has experienced a three-game losing streak under head coach Sean McVay, so this is unfamiliar territory. With Todd Gurley II ($6,400) still banged up, the Rams will lean on Jared Goff ($6,200) and the passing game, which is also in the top-six for yards per game.

I actually see this as one of the potential upsets in Week 7. The Falcons’ only win this season came in one of their two home games. These two teams have played twice since the Rams moved back to LA, and the Falcons have won both. In order to improve their five-game winning streak against the Rams (St. Louis included,) Matt Ryan ($6,300) will need to utilize all of his weapons - Austin Hooper ($5,300,) Devonta Freeman ($5,400) and Calvin Ridley ($5,300) - and not just Julio. I’ll take the over and the Falcons to cover.
