John Wolford (neck) in line to start Thursday for Rams
Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Wolford (neck) is in line to start on Thursday night in Week 14 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
What It Means:
Wolford is under center with the starting offense for pre-game drills, so it looks like he will start over Baker Mayfield. Wolford isn't very good, but the Raiders have one of the worst pass defenses in the league this season, so it's at least a plus draw.
The Raiders defense is third-worst overall and second-worst against the pass this season, per numberFire's nERD rankings. They are also allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position. Wolford has a $13,000 salary on the single-game slate Thursday and our models project him for 14.6 FanDuel points.
