  • Out for season

    Coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that Skowronek will miss the rest of the campaign due to a calf strain, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Cameron DaSilva of USA Today, Skowronek appeared to get banged up following a reception in the first half of Monday's game at Green Bay, but his eventual snap share (67 percent) indicates he gutted through what was bothering him. McVay now has clarified that the issue won't allow Skowronek to play again this season, meaning the second-year pro will end the year with 39 catches on 61 targets for 376 yards and no touchdowns in 14 appearances. He will join four other Rams wide receivers on the…read more

  • Nets just three yards

    Skowronek caught one of three targets for three yards during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers hoping for another standout performance from Skowronek after he erupted for a 7-89-0 line in Week 14 were greeted with a floor game fromthe second-year wideout, his second-worst performance of the season after a zero-catch day against the Buccaneers in Week 9. Baker Mayfield was under duress all night, taking a total of five sacks and throwing a bad pick that was targeted to Skowronek, and the chemistry the duo showed against the Raiders evaporated against a stout Green Bay…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in win

    Skowronek brought in seven of eight targets for 89 yards in the Rams' 17-16 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout finished as the team leader in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. Skowronek's ability to develop quick chemistry with new quarterback Baker Mayfield -- his catch and yardage tallies were both career highs -- certainly seems to bode well for the receiver's prospects down the stretch, especially with Mayfield seemingly having locked in a Week 15 starting opportunity on the road versus the Packers on Monday night, Dec. 19.

  • Ready for Thursday night

    Skowronek (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Analysis: Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed Monday that Skowronek was tending to a shoulder injury, which resulted in limited listings on Monday's estimated practice report and for Tuesday's walk-through session. On Wednesday, Skowronek was labeled a full participant at the Rams' jog-through session and now is ready to roll Week 14. With both Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) sidelined this past Sunday against the Seahawks, Skowronek earned his second-highest snap share of the season (97…read more

  • Listed as limited again

    Skowronek (shoulder) is officially listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek's limited listing is just an estimate, as the Rams held a walk-through instead of an actual practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Raiders. Along with two receptions for 30 yards in the Rams' Week 13 loss to Seattle he also picked up a shoulder injury, but if he's able to suit up Thursday there could be opportunities for him in a passing game missing Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot).

  • Listed as limited participant

    Skowronek (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reprots.

    Analysis: The Rams didn't practice Monday, so the report was merely an estimate. Head coach Sean McVay said earlier in the day that he felt good about Skowronek's chances of playing Thursday against the Raiders, despite picking up a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to Seattle. The wideout caught two passes for 30 yards Week 13, marking his highest receiving output since Week 6. Skowronek will have two more chance to log a full session before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week…read more

  • Dealing with shoulder injury

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Skowronek is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury but feels good about the wideout's chances of playing Thursday against the Raiders, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek caught two of three targets for 30 yards while playing 62 of the Rams' 64 offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to Seattle. However, it appears the wideout picked up a health concern as well. Despite McVay's optimism, fantasy managers still should monitor Skowronek's participation in practice ahead of Thursday's matchup.

  • Two catches in loss

    Skowronek secured two of three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The Rams' first drive of the day was highlighted by a toe-tap catch from Skowronek for 22 yards, which helped set up a one-yard Cam Akers rushing touchdown. Beyond that, however, Skowronek only made one more catch despite being on the field for all but two snaps on offense. Both John Wolford and Bryce Perkins have struggled under center for the Rams in place of Matthew Stafford (neck), making it difficult to rely on Skowronek for consistent production, even with a tantalizing matchup against…read more

  • Little production in defeat

    Skowronek secured two of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Despite finishing second on the team in targets, Skowronek had another quiet performance in what has become a recurring theme for the second-year wideout. With Allen Robinson (foot) now out for the season and Cooper Kupp (ankle) unlikely to return with the Rams essentially out of playoff contention, Skowronek now slots in as the Rams' No. 2 wide receiver. However, given the state of the offense with Bryce Perkins at the helm with Matthew Stafford (neck) week-to-week, it's hard to see a path to…read more

  • Just one catch in loss

    Skowronek secured one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: It was another disappointing performance from the second-year wideout, who has just four receptions for 28 yards since the Week 7 bye. Despite playing the most snaps of any Rams wide receiver, Skowronek actually finished fourth on the team in targets and a distant seventh in receiving yardage. With Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson leading the team at wideout during the absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle), Skowronek's stock is trending down heading into a tough Week 12 matchup with the Chiefs.

  • Should retain starting role

    Skowronek is expected to hold down a regular role in three-receiver sets for the Rams with No. 1 wideout Cooper Kupp (ankle) projected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek has already seen steady involvement for the Rams in 2022, lining up primarily as a receiver and occasionally as a fullback this season while playing no fewer than 61 percent of the snaps on offense in any of his nine appearances. Van Jefferson's absence from the Rams' first six games of the season had a hand in freeing up some playing time for Skowronek, and now Kupp's upcoming absence likely ensures that trend continues, perhaps for the remainder of the season. Perhaps more…read more

  • Seven targets Sunday

    Skowronek caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Skowronek was on the field for nearly every play on offense for the Rams, and he was peppered with seven targets from John Wolford. One of those targets bounced off of the hybrid wide receiver/fullback's hands, however, and was intercepted by Budda Baker in the fourth quarter to essentially end any hope of a comeback for the Rams. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) looking like he may miss some time, Skowronek will be looked upon as one of the top receiving options for the Rams, along with Allen Robinson…read more

  • Held without a catch

    Skowronek failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The return of Van Jefferson and resurgence of Allen Robinson for the Rams clearly has had an effect on the performance of Skowronek, despite Jefferson failing to secure a single catch in either of the last two contests. Skowronek now is a distant fifth in the pecking order for targets in L.A.'s offense, and his role has shrunk considerably, with just three targets and a single catch for 10 yards during the aforementioned stretch.

  • One catch in defeat

    Skowronek caught his only target for 10 yards in the Rams' 31-14 loss to the 49ers in Week 8.

    Analysis: With the return of Van Jefferson on Sunday, Skowronek saw a slight drop in his offensive workload, recording a season-low one reception in the loss. The 25-year-old has now slipped into the No. 4 receiver role, limiting his upside moving forward.

  • Runs in score Sunday

    Skowronek caught all five of his targets for 40 yards and ran in a 17-yard touchdown on his only carry during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: His score late in the third quarter put the Rams ahead for good, and his first TD of the season came on his first carry of the season. Skowronek has emerged as a reliable option in the absence of Van Jefferson (knee), catching at least four passes in four of the first six games, but with Allen Robinson showing signs of getting comfortable in the scheme and Jefferson returning eventually, his role could shrink following the Rams' Week 7 bye.

  • Career-high six catches Sunday

    Skowronek caught six of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: While his longest reception went for only 12 yards, the second-year wideout still set a new career single-game high in catches. Skowronek's role in the offense continues to grow, largely due to Allen Robinson's struggles, heading into a Week 6 clash with the Panthers.

  • Two catches in loss

    Skowronek brought in two of three targets for 33 yards during Monday's 24-9 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Skowronek had a brief injury scare in the fourth quarter, coming off the field holding his left leg. He returned on the next series, however, and was on the field for 88 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which is right on par for his season average. Allen Robinson struggled again, notching just two catches for seven yards on six targets, and Skowronek's versatility and reliability may push him into an even larger role behind Cooper Kupp.

  • Leading receiver in Week 3 win

    Skowronek caught all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The Rams' passing game was quiet in the victory, but Skowronek tied Tyler Higbee and Cooper Kupp for the lead in receptions while pacing the team in receiving yards in the best performance of his brief NFL career. With Van Jefferson (knee) now on IR, Skowronek will get more time to establish himself as a reliable option for Matthew Stafford.

  • Just two touches

    Skowronek caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-27 victory against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Skowronek saw a dip in overall production but was on the field for 54 out of 68 snaps on offense, an encouraging sign that the team still trusts the second-year wideout significantly more than Brandon Powell and Tutu Atwell, who combined for just eight offensive snaps. As long as Van Jefferson (knee) continues to miss time, Skowronek should hold on to the No. 3 wide receiver role with a Week 3 home matchup against the Raiders looming.

  • Four catches in opener

    Skowronek brought in four of six targets for 25 yards in the Rams' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Skowronek and fellow wide receiver Tutu Atwell were expected to be in a committee of sorts to replace the production of Van Jefferson (knee), but Atwell saw just seven offensive snaps and a single target. Skowronek was on the field for 59 of the Rams' 67 snaps on offense, and while his final stat line wasn't eye-popping, he was given more opportunities than Allen Robinson (one catch for 12 yards on two targets) and seems to be the team's clear No. 3 wide receiver if Jefferson isn't able to…read more

  • Likely No. 3 receiver Thursday

    Skowronek could play extensively in Thursday's game against Buffalo with teammate Van Jefferson (knee) ruled out, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek had a few similar opportunities last season, including in the Super Bowl, and never topped four catches or 43 yards. Still, he'll likely pick up a few of the targets that otherwise might go to Jefferson, putting Skowronek in play as an option for extremely deep leagues and single-game DFS contests.

  • Doesn't play in preseason opener

    Skowronek (coach's decision) did not play in the Rams' 29-22 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout is on track to open the season as the No. 3 receiver with Van Jefferson (knee) potentially out of action for Week 1, so it wasn't entirely surprising he joined starters Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson as inactives. Skowronek made only a modest impact as a rookie with an 11-133 line on 20 targets, but that experience could certainly help him get off to a strong start if he does indeed enjoy an elevated role to open the 2022 season.

  • Listed as starting wideout

    Skowronek was listed as one of the Rams' three starting receivers on the first unofficial depth chart released Wednesday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: With Van Jefferson (knee) uncertain to be ready for Week 1, Skowronek will be first in line to join Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson in three-receiver sets. Skowronek has some competition for the No. 3 role, however, with 2021 second-round pick Tutu Atwell, Brandon Powell and Jacob Harris representing his top challengers.

  • Working in committee

    Skowronek is filling the No. 3 receiver role along with a handful of other players while Van Jefferson is out due to a knee injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek has the most in-game experience out of the glut of receivers sharing time with him, and he has a more robust skill set that matches Jefferson's do-it-all approach to receiving. Skowronek's versatility means he can block and play any of the receiver positions, but he did have a troubling three drops on 20 targets and doesn't have the field-stretching speed fellow committee members Tutu Atwell, Jacob Harris and Brandon Powell possess.

  • OBJ injury leads to increased role

    Skowronek hauled in two of five targets for 12 yards in the Rams' win Sunday over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

    Analysis: Skowronek saw career highs in snaps and targets, as Odell Beckham left late in the first half with an ACL injury. The rookie Skowronek played a limited role this season, compiling 11 receptions on 20 targets for 133 yards while operating as the Rams' No. 4 wideout on the depth chart. How big of a role Skowronek will have moving forward will largely depend on what happens with Beckham, as not only did he potentially suffer a significant injury during the Super Bowl, he also is set to be a free…read more

  • Drops would-be touchdown in win

    Skowronek failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: This was the first target of the postseason for Skowronek, and it was an unfortunate drop, as the rookie would have scored a touchdown if he'd completed the catch. Skowronek likely will slot in as the No. 4 wide receiver for the Rams and play a limited role in the Super Bowl, so it's unlikely he makes a significant fantasy impact.

    Skowronek (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: He closed out the week with a full practice, following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. While Skowronek played only seven snaps in the wild-card round against Arizona, his role as the No. 4 receiver puts him one injury away from steady playing time.

    Skowronek (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The wide receiver opened the week with a limited estimation at Wednesday's walk-through session and followed it up with a limited effort at Thursday's first padded practice. Skowronek suffered the back injury in Monday's wild-card win over the Cardinals, and his practice status Friday will provide a clearer indication of his availability for Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Buccaneers.

    Skowronek (back) was estimated as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Sean McVay said Skowronek's back "locked up on him" during Monday's wild-card round win over the Cardinals, though the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern, according to Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site. The 24-year-old wideout should be able to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Buccaneers if he can practice fully by Friday.

    Skowronek suffered a back injury during Monday's 34-11 win against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Skowronek didn't make an impact in the box score prior to his departure in the third quarter. The seventh-round rookie appeared in 14 games during his inaugural season, gathering in 11 of 20 passes for 133 yards and no touchdowns. Skowronek's next chance to play arrives in the divisional round Sunday at Tampa Bay.

  • Held in check in finale

    Skowronek failed to catch either of his two targets during Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to San Francisco. He played 17 of 65 offensive snaps.

    Analysis: While Skowronek finished the regular season with a modest 11 receptions for 133 yards, he did climb into a consistent role as the No. 4 receiver down the stretch for Los Angeles. The rookie probably hasn't been dependable enough to rely on in the majority of postseason fantasy settings, but he is receiving semi-regular playing time for those in cavernous formats or who are looking for a true flier.

  • Plays 27 snaps in close win

    Skowronek caught two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 20-19 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: The rookie played 27 of 58 offensive snaps, which nearly matched Van Jefferson's 31, as Skowronek continues to be deployed in a supporting role in the passing attack. Still, Skowronek has just nine receptions for 115 yards for the campaign, and those numbers hardly move the fantasy needle in most formats.

    Skowronek didn't log a target while playing four of the Rams' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: While playing behind fellow wideouts Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson, Skowronek will likely continue to see limited opportunities, even in a high-powered Los Angeles passing attack.

  • Busy in win over Seahawks

    Skowronek caught four of five targets for 42 yards during Tuesday's 20-10 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: The rookie's four receptions for 42 yards were both career-high marks, and for what it's worth, Skowronek's stat line was better than the combined numbers of Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson in Tuesday's win. Still, Skowronek mainly worked underneath, and it's unlikely he leapfrogs either Beckham or Jefferson in fantasy value in the foreseeable future. Additionally, tight end Tyler Higbee's eventual return from the reserve/COVID-19 list should also cut into Skowronek's target share.

  • Hauls in career-long gain

    Skowronek caught one of his two targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 37-7 win over Jacksonville. He played 16 offensive snaps.

    Analysis: The rookie out of Notre Dame started and saw more run in the offense than normal Sunday, and he also made a career-long catch on the first Los Angeles possession of the second quarter. Skowronek probably received the boost in playing time because Odell Beckham was nursing a hip injury, and while he currently has limited upside, it does appear Skowronek has established himself as the No. 4 wide receiver on the depth chart.

    Analysis: Skowronek was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his status improved Thursday. It appears as though the kick returner will be able to return Sunday against the Jaguars following his one-game absence.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Skowronek (back) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek is still dealing with the back injury that kept him out of last week's loss to Green Bay. His participation, or lack there of, in practice Thursday and Friday should dictate whether the kick returner will suit up Sunday against the Jaguars.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Skowronek (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Skowronek was originally considered questionable for Sunday's contest, but he's now been downgraded to out. J.J. Koski should serve as the Rams' No. 4 wideout behind Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson in Green Bay.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Skowronek (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek apparently picked up the injury in practice Thursday as he didn't appear on the injury report until a day later. If he can't play, J.J. Koski would likely see more playing time, particularly on special teams.

  • Plays season-high snaps

    Skowronek caught one of his five targets for eight yards during Monday's 31-10 loss to San Francisco. He played a season-high 42 offensive snaps.

    Analysis: The boost in playing time is unlikely to continue for the rookie. Snowronek received extra run because recently acquired wide receiver Odell Beckham didn't have enough preparation time to learn the entire playbook ahead of Monday's action. With a Week 11 bye, Skowronek is likely to revert back to a secondary role and slot in as the fourth receiver on the depth chart. He's probably off the fantasy radar in the majority of settings.

  • Playing Monday

    Skowronek (thigh) is active for Monday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek made a late appearance on the Rams' Week 10 injury report, logging no activity Saturday due to a thigh injury. It won't prevent him from suiting up Monday, and there's also an expectation he may enter the starting lineup in the wake of Robert Woods' torn ACL, per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. Such a development may come to pass, but the rookie seventh-round pick has just three receptions (on three targets) for 30 yards in seven appearances to date. Skowronek also will have to contend for…read more

  • Questionable for Monday night

    Skowronek is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers with a thigh injury.

    Analysis: Skowronek was a late addition to the Rams' injury report after the thigh issue prevented him from practicing Saturday. If he's able to show enough improvement leading up to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Skowronek will not only suit up, but he could pick up his first career NFL start. According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, Skowronek is expected to start in place of Robert Woods (knee), who sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Friday's practice. Even so, Skowronek likely won't handle the…read more

  • Hauls in all three targets

    Skowronek caught all of his three targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 38-22 win over Houston.

    Analysis: The rookie played a season-high 20 offensive snaps and caught the first passes of his career Sunday. He's a beneficiary of DeSean Jackson's trade request, as Jackson isn't projected to play while awaiting a transaction. Additionally, with Tutu Atwell sustaining a shoulder injury Sunday, Skowronek probably has climbed into the fourth spot on the wide receiver depth chart. However, it's likely best to continue taking a wait-and-see approach with Skowronek outside of cavernous dynasty settings.

  • Returns kicks against Lions

    Skowronek returned four kickoffs for 70 yards during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: This was the first game the rookie has returned kicks for the Rams, and it will be interesting to see if he keeps the job after fellow rookie Tutu Atwell handled the role the previous two weeks. While probably not fantasy relevant in most settings, it's still a minor development to note.

  • Won't face Colts

    Skowronek (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Colts, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek missed the team's opening game of the season due to a forearm injury. While he was taken off the injury report leading up to Week 2, Skowronek will have to wait at least one more week to make his season debut.

  • No longer on injured list

    Skowronek (forearm) isn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Skowronek was unable to play in the Rams' season opener against the Bears as he was still recovering from the forearm surgery he underwent in August. Now that he's off the injury report, the 2021 seventh-round pick will fill a depth role in the Rams' crowded receiver room. The rookie will hope to make his season debut Sunday against the Colts.

  • Officially inactive

    Skowronek (forearm) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Bears, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek was considered doubtful for Sunday's season opener as he continues to recover from forearm surgery that he underwent in mid-August. Once he's healthy, the 2021 seventh-rounder is expected to serve as depth at receiver.

  • Doubtful Sunday

    Skowronek (forearm) is doubtful for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Bears, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek underwent forearm surgery in mid-August that carries a recovery timetable of four to six weeks, and he's unlikely to be available for Sunday's season opener. However, the receiver wasn't placed on injured reserve to begin the season, which signals that he could return within the first few weeks.

  • Sidelined four to six weeks

    Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Skowronek (forearm) will miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Skowronek suffered a fractured forearm during last weekend's preseason loss to the Chargers, and, as a result, he will now miss the remainder of the preseason and likely at least a few regular-season contests. The Rams could opt to place Skowronek on IR to free up a roster spot, though that transaction would bring an end to his rookie season unless it's carried out after Sept. 1.

  • Out with fractured forearm

    Skowronek suffered a fractured forearm during Saturday's preseason loss to the Chargers and will undergo surgery Monday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The rookie seventh-round pick doesn't yet have timeline for his return, but it's safe to consider him unavailable for the foreseeable future. Skowronek was competing for a depth role in the Rams' receiving corps.

  • Sits out Wednesday

    Skowronek (undisclosed) didn't participate at Wednesday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old wasn't dressed but instead participated in a workout on the side. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, though it's unclear if it will affect Skowronek's availability for the preseason opener Aug. 14 against the Chargers.
