Atlanta Falcons vs. LA Rams projected starting lineup and depth chart for Week 17 MNF

The LA Rams are third in the NFC West. However, they’re firmly in the hunt for the division title as they prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons in a pivotal NFC matchup on Monday.

The Rams are well-rested after enjoying a mini-bye, having last played on Dec. 18. They are expected to come out motivated after suffering a 38-37 overtime defeat to the Seattle Seahawks.

Meanwhile, Atlanta has already been eliminated from playoff contention but will look to play the role of spoilers. The Falcons are riding a two-game winning streak, although they have struggled against stronger competition this season. They lost 37-9 to Seattle in Week 14. Atlanta is a huge underdog heading into Monday’s showdown.

Here’s a look at the projected starters of both teams.
