Use the Rams stellar front four
The Rams have an amazing defensive line, which has a chance to increase their sack numbers greatly on Sunday. The Cleveland Browns have allowed the third most sacks with 22 allowed so far this season. The Rams are currently ranked third with nineteen sacks so far this season, (which they just had their bye week last week, so they are down a game in the statistics) so you do the math on the matchup at hand. Aaron Donald has been quiet the last couple of games, so seeing his name pop up a few times wouldn’t hurt anyone. With Chris Long likely out Sunday, the Rams will have to turn to William Hayes for the majority of the snaps, but Hayes is a fine replacement, so no harm there.
This also could be a great game for Nick Fairley to break out and find his rhythm in St Louis. Fairley has been searching for his role thus far, and with a offensive line like Cleveland’s, he has an opportunity to add a couple of sacks and get back into sync with that talent we know he has.
