The Los Angeles Rams were unsuccessful in their Superbowl run. Yet, they still have what got them to the Superbowl in the first place: the offense implemented by Sean McVay.

The same offense that the Los Angeles Rams receivers fed upon last season. Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks, and Cooper Kupp all are a vital part of that offense. But who out of the three will rise above the rest to be the Los Angeles Rams number one receiver?

The Rams wide receiving corps was one of the best in the NFL last season, if not the best.  Putting up a staggering 32 receiving touchdowns last season. Seventeen of which came from the wide receivers.

Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp tied for six touchdowns on the year. While Brandin Cooks had five touchdowns last season, only one short of matching his teammates.

Not to mention the receiving corps combined had 2,989 yards receiving last season.

With Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods almost breaking even. Woods had 1,219 yards through the air while Cooks had 1,204 yards receiving through the air. Cooper Kupp was the outlier here at only 566 yards through the air. Now that is more than likely caused by the injury that kept Kupp from playing a longer season as Woods and Cooks did.

After such a successful year passing the ball, and with an even playing field across the board. Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks, and Cooper Kupp are all in the running to be the number one option. The question is, who is going to step up to become the number one receiver on the team?

Here is what I believe will happen based on last seasons performance from each of the Los Angeles Rams wide receivers.
