  • Unimpressive against 49ers

    Kelly rushed 15 times for just 30 yards during Sunday's 48-32 win over San Francisco, but he did also have an 18-yard reception.

    Analysis: Considering C.J. Anderson ran over the 49ers for 132 yards and 5.7 per tote, Kelly's numbers on the ground are all the more pedestrian. However, the rookie also didn't receive his first carry until the middle of the third quarter when Los Angeles was up 38-17 and milking the clock, so It's probably best to look at Kelly's production with a grain of salt. Additionally, it's unlikely he has a notable role in the postseason with Todd Gurley resting a knee injury the past two weeks, and Anderson…read more

  • Logs 10 carries Week 16

    Kelly carried 10 times for 40 yards and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 31-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kelly's most extensive work this season was the result of starter Todd Gurley (knee) being inactive. The 2018 sixth-rounder worked behind C.J. Anderson -- who logged 167 yards and a TD on 20 carries Sunday -- and would be in line to do so again Week 17 against the 49ers, should the Rams elect to play it safe and sit Gurley once again.

  • May trail Anderson in pecking order

    Kelly is expected to work as the backup to C.J. Anderson in the event Todd Gurley (knee) and Justin Davis (shoulder) are unavailable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kelly, a sixth-round pick out of Tennessee, exhibited some explosiveness during his opportunities in the preseason, but he's largely been an afterthought for the Rams since the regular season began. In fact, Kelly didn't dress for a game until Week 14, when Malcolm Brown's season-ending collarbone injury bumped him up a spot on the depth chart. It appeared the door might have open for Kelly to claim a three-down role when Gurley and Davis both came out of the Week 15 loss to the Eagles with…read more

  • Joined by Anderson in backfield

    Kelly could face competition out of the backfield from the newly signed C.J. Anderson and holdover Justin Davis (shoulder) behind injured starter Todd Gurley (knee), Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The new addition hints at legitimate concern about Gurley and/or Davis missing Sunday's game in Arizona. The situation should sort itself out in the coming days, with Kelly potentially finding himself in a workhorse role if both injured teammates end up sitting. Anderson might be the best of the bunch after Gurley, but the 27-year-old won't have much time to learn a new offense. This isn't a situation where the Rams can afford to be extra cautious, as one more loss might push them out of a…read more

  • Role expansion possible in Week 16

    Kelly could be slated for an expanded role in Week 16 if Todd Gurley (knee) can't suit up against the Cardinals, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Kelly recorded the first offensive snaps of his career in Week 15 versus the Eagles, rushing twice for four yards during the contest. With Gurley and Justin Davis (shoulder) dealing with injuries early in the week, Kelly could see plenty of first-team reps on offense during practice. That could position him for a major offensive role in Week 16 against a Cardinals defense allowing 144.9 rushing yards per game, the third-highest average in the NFL.

  • Receives first career carries

    Kelly played seven offensive snaps and rushed twice for four yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The rookie debuted last week with seven snaps on special teams, and his two carries Sunday were his first of the season. With Malcolm Brown (clavicle) out for the year and Justin Davis (shoulder) also dealing with an injury, Kelly has a chance to solidify himself as the No. 2 back behind Todd Gurley. However, that role hasn't been conducive to fantasy production, so Kelly's off the radar in the majority of settings.

  • Could take No. 2 gig

    Kelly will compete with Justin Davis for snaps as the Rams' backup running back while Malcolm Brown (clavicle) is unavailable, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: A rookie sixth-round pick, Kelly has been a healthy scratch all season while Davis has strictly played special teams. Kelly was more impressive of the two during the exhibition slate, but Davis has the advantage of being in his second year with the Rams. Of course, Brown's indefinite absence doesn't have much impact on the game plan for Week 14 in Chicago, seeing as Todd Gurley has played 85 percent of the offensive snaps this season. It could come into play Week 17 if the Rams don't have…read more

  • Inactive again

    Kelly (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kelly has not appeared on the injury report during the regular season, but he nonetheless will miss his second consecutive game. While the 2018 sixth-round pick remains sidelined, Malcolm Brown will once again serve as the primary backup to Todd Gurley.

  • Scratched Monday

    Kelly (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday in Detroit, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Unlike fellow running back Justin Davis, Kelly didn't make an appearance on the injury report this week, but he'll nonetheless don street clothes in the first potential game of his career. While the 2018 sixth-rounder remains on the sideline, the Rams will allow Todd Gurley to grind it out on the ground, with Malcolm Brown on hand to give him the occasional breather.

  • Sticks around after busy preseason

    Kelly approaches the coming season in the Rams' backup RB mix behind Todd Gurley, ESPN's Lindsey Thiry reports.

    Analysis: Also factoring in are incumbent Malcolm Brown, who remains listed as the team's No. 2 back on the team's posted depth chart, as well as Justin Davis. Neither of the team's backups are of fantasy import as long as Gurley is healthy, but it's worth noting that Kelly's strong work this summer (he logged 197 rushing yards on 46 preseason carries) has lifted his ADP above Brown's. It remains to be seen in the short-term, however, if Kelly would actually vault over both Brown and Davis in the event…read more

  • Impresses again in preseason win

    Kelly rushed 15 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Texans. He also secured both of his targets but did not have any receiving yards.

    Analysis: Kelly paced the Rams backfield in both rushes and yards, impressing for a second straight week. The sixth-round pick scored from four yards out late in the first half, followed by a 15-yard rumble that he finished off with a spin move to get into the end zone in the second quarter. Kelly once again outpaced fellow reserve Malcolm Brown by a significant margin, lending credence to the notion he could surpass the latter for the No. 2 role behind Todd Gurley. Next Thursday's preseason finale…read more

  • Starts career strong

    Kelly took 13 carries for 77 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 33-7 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Malcom Brown got the start and gained one yard on three carries, while Justin Davis played most of the second quarter and took seven carries for 41 yards. Kelly then dominated the workload after halftime, including a 40-yard scamper that accounted for the Rams' only gain of more than 17 yards. The rookie sixth-round pick may have dreams of pushing Brown for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, but it's more likely that Kelly and Davis end up battling for the No. 3 job.
