Depth at skill positions again proving vital in the NFL playoffs

When the 2021 NFL Draft was completed, Les Snead and Sean McVay had such a clear vision of what the LA Rams would look like at wide receiver, running back, and tight end for the following season: Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, DeSean Jackson, Van Jefferson, and Tutu Atwell would be the top five receivers.

Cam Akers would lead the team in rushing, complemented by Darrell Henderson and Xavier Jones. And Tyler Higbee would be supported at tight end by Johnny Mundt, Brycen Hopkins, and Jacob Harris.

I just named 12 players. Five of them are expected to be available against the Arizona Cardinals tonight and one of those, Cam Akers, just barely squeezed himself into the 2021 season.
