2016 NFL Power Rankings: Preseason Edition

19. Los Angeles Rams, -0.91 nERD

Last year, Todd Gurley dominated despite a weak offense, one that ranked last in Adjusted NEP by roughly 15 points relative to the next-worst squad.

The team drafted Jared Goff first overall in the 2016 NFL Draft but made almost no changes elsewhere on offense, so Gurley will have to overcome the same situation yet again.

The eighth-ranked defense led them to a 7-9 record, but even with a likely repeat finish as a top-eight defense, our algorithms see the Rams and Jeff Fisher finishing 7.5-8.5 in their first year back in Los Angeles.
