TAMPA, Fla. -- Two weeks after looking like an offensively challenged team staring at a potentially long season, the Los Angeles Rams are off to their best start in 10 years.Theyve even got some touchdowns to show for the progress theyve made since being shut out in their first game after relocating back to the West Coast after a 21-year stay in St. Louis.All I know is we got Arizona at Arizona next week, coach Jeff Fisher said after Sundays 37-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. None of them are easy, but well take it.Case Keenum threw for the franchises first TD as the L.A. Rams since 1994 , and Robert Quinn tackled Jameis Winston from behind 5 yards short of the end zone on the games final play to seal the teams second straight win.In between, Todd Gurley scored on a pair of 1-yard runs, Ethan Westbrooks returned a fumble caused by Quinn 77 yards for a TD, Tavon Austin made a nice nifty move to turn a deep throw into a 43-yard scoring play, and the Rams (2-1) even weathered a 69-minute delay caused by a thunderstorm passing over Raymond James Stadium.I think we are in a good spot, Keenum said. I think we are getting better each week, which is what you want to do.Tampa Bay (1-2), meanwhile, has lost two straight since Winstons sparkling performance in a season-opening win over Atlanta.Winston threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns, but looked tentative on the games last play. He never took off full speed and was wrestled down after a 10-yard gain.The Bucs have yielded 101 points through three games, and the defense gave up two more plays of 40-plus yards against the Rams.The lesson our team has to learn -- every week is a battle. Our culture is not where it needs to be. ... I put that squarely on my shoulders, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said.Theres something about our culture that let games like this get away, Koetter added. Weve got to get over that hump.Some things to know about the Rams and Bucs moving forward:RESiLiENT BUNCH: The Rams were far from perfect against the Buccaneers. Keenum threw a first-quarter interception that was returned by linebacker Kwon Alexander for a touchdown, and Kenny Britts second-quarter fumble led to another Tampa Bay TD. Los Angeles wasnt fazed, though, and forced a couple of turnovers -- ex-Buc Mark Barrons second quarter interception and Quinns fourth quarter, sack/strip that caused the fumble Westbrooks scooped up -- to score themselves.Turnovers hurt us early, but we go get two big plays on defense ... and that kind of balanced things out, Fisher said.WIDE LEFT: Bucs rookie kicker Roberto Aguayo had a tough day and may be a hot topic of conversation as the team prepares to face defending Super Bowl champion Denver next Sunday. The second-round draft pick out of Florida State struggled early in the preseason, hooked an extra-point to the left after Tampa Bays first touchdown and later missed a 41-yard field goal attempt wide left, drawing boos from the announced crowd of 55,009. The team has drawn some criticism for the decision to use such a high draft pick to select a kicker. If he makes the two kicks he missed Sunday, the argument could be made that the Bucs could have employed different strategy and/or might not have needed a touchdown at the end to win.Times like this are going to happen, Aguayo said, adding his confidence isnt shaken. Im excited for next week, to move on.BACK ON TRACK?: Los Angeles RB Todd Gurley rushed for 1,106 yards and 10 TDs as a rookie a year ago, however he averaged just 2.7 yards per attempts while running for 98 yards on 36 carries in the Rams first two games. He was more effective Sunday, even though he only averaged 3.1 yards on his way to 85 yards on 28 carries.Hes not there yet, but not because of Todd Gurley personally, Fisher said, adding the team has to do a better job converting third downs and doing other things to create more opportunities for the second-year pro.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jordan 4 Retro .

On tap: By the time Week 17 baseball action gets underway, the non-waiver trade deadline will have passed. However, the huge flurry of activity that is likely to come over the weekend is bound to cause a ton of juggling, not only of the scheduled pitchers for the upcoming week but also of the rankings themselves. The best course of action is to wait as long as possible to set your lineups for the week ahead because things could easily change again between the time you wake up on Monday and the time lineups lock in the evening.Lucas Harrell has already been dealt from the Atlanta Braves to the Texas Rangers, with Nick Martinez getting sent to the minors by the Rangers. Atlanta has also demoted Matt Wisler to Triple-A after a fourth consecutive outing in which he allowed at least six runs. Those two rotations will be in flux for the upcoming week, assuming no further deals are made.Andrew Cashner is on his way to Miami along with?Colin Rea?to join the Marlins rotation. Both are likely to stay on turn for the Marlins, although it is certainly possible that manager?Don Mattingly will do some sort of rotational restructuring once his new arms arrive. In return, San Diego will receive four players, including right-hander Jarred Cosart, who would presumably jump right into the Padres rotation.While Blake Snell isnt going anywhere, who knows how many of his Tampa Bay Rays teammates might end up wearing other uniforms by Monday. Tampa Bay is said to be listening to offers for Matt Moore, Jake Odorizzi, Drew Smyly and Chris Archer -- even Erasmo Ramirez is believed to have drawn interest from the Orioles.Expect at least one of those pitchers to end up changing clubhouses in the next few days, with many more transactions to sift through before we turn the page on the calendar and head into the final two months of the season in earnest.Quickly jump to any section, if you want specific intelESPN lineup deadlinesInterleague impactProjected starting pitchersPitching scuttlebuttWeek 15 pitcher rankingsHitting ratingsHitting advantagesESPN leagues: Lineup deadlinesOnce again, weve got only Monday night games in Week 17, as ESPNs Monday Night Baseball game kicks things off with the start of the Subway Series at 7 p.m. ET. Fantasy owners have more time to set their weekly lineups this week.Remember that game times have tremendous influence upon daily planning, so be aware of every days first scheduled pitch. This week, they are:Monday, Aug. 1: 7 p.m. ET (Yankees at Mets on ESPNs Monday Night Baseball) Tuesday, Aug. 2: 7:05 p.m. ET (two games out of a full evening slate begin at that time) Wednesday, Aug. 3: 2:20 p.m. ET (Marlins at Cubs, one of three day games) Thursday, Aug. 4: 12:10 p.m. ET (two out of five day games start at that time) Friday, Aug. 5: 7:05 p.m. ET (three games out of a full evening slate begin at that time) Saturday, Aug. 6: 1:05 p.m. ET (Indians at Yankees, one of three day games) Sunday, Aug. 7: 1:05 p.m. ET (Indians at Yankees, one of 14 day games)Interleague impactThis weeks interleague series:Yankees at Mets (2 games, Aug. 1-2)Mets at Yankees (2 games, Aug. 3-4)Mets at Tigers (3 games, Aug. 5-7)Cubs at Athletics (3 games, Aug. 5-7)Red Sox at Dodgers (3 games, Aug. 5-7)Yankees traditional DH, 2 games in NL ballparks: Alex Rodriguez has already been sitting against right-handed pitchers, so he wasnt likely to see any starts against the Mets scheduled starters for the Citi Field portion of this four-game series. Carlos Beltran will presumably remain in the No. 3 spot in the Yankees order, playing right field, with Aaron Hicks going to the bench for this pair of games.Mets probable DH(s), 5 games in AL ballparks: The Mets are certainly hoping that Jose Reyes will be back in the lineup by Wednesday. Reyes is suffering from a Grade 1 strain of his intercostal muscle and, assuming hes healthy, could be slotted into the DH spot as a way of mitigating the risk of reinjury. Wilmer Flores and Kelly Johnson would be the other primary options to either DH themselves, or provide a day of defensive rest for one of the Mets regular starters.Cubs probable DH(s), 3 games in AL ballparks: While its certainly possible that manager Joe Maddon will once again use the DH spot as a way to give players like Dexter Fowler and Kris Bryant a mini-day off (as he did against the White Sox), its likely to be Jorge Soler who fills the DH role at some point this series. Soler is expected to return to the Cubs over the weekend after a lengthy DL stint because of a strained left hamstring. The DH spot could be a nice way of keeping his bat in the lineup rather than giving the outfielder an extra precautionary day or two off.Red Soxs traditional DH, 3 games in NL ballparks: Given that David Ortiz has not played first base at all this season, odds are good that he will sit out the majority of this series, save for pinch-hit at-bats when needed. That said, both previous Boston road interleague series this season have lasted only two games, so Ortiz could certainly spell Hanley Ramirez at least once, given the trio of opportunities in Los Angeles.Projected starting pitchersThe chart below lists each of the 30 MLB teams schedules and projected starting pitchers and provides a projected Bill James game score for each days starter.Projected starting pitchers, Aug. 1-7 P: The starting pitchers projected Bill James game score, accounting for past history (three years worth as well as past 21 days), opponent and ballpark. A 50 is typically deemed a quality start by this measure, while a 70 is considered a dominant start.Pitching scuttlebuttAthletics: Rich Hill is currently scheduled to throw on Aug. 6, but that all depends on how his blister problem resolves itself. If hes unable to make a start this weekend against the Indians, the whole Oakland rotation may be thrown into further disarray.Astros: Doug Fister will be going on the paternity leave list over the weekend, but its expected that hell be back with the team in time to make his start on Monday, keeping the Houston rotation on track for the week.Braves: Julio Teheran (lat) is set to return to action on Saturday, and while his subsequent start is currently set for Aug. 5, if he feels up to it -- and because of the wheeling and dealing Atlanta has already done -- he may be moved up a day to Thursday.Cardinals: After Jaime Garcia went just five innings on Tuesday, the team has decided to pitch him on short rest Saturday, with Carlos Martinez -- who also pitched on Tuesday in a twin-bill -- going Sunday. With an off day on Monday, the two can revert to their regular order, giving Garcia six days of rest before taking the mound again Aug. 6.Dodgers: Brett Anderson (back) has started his rehab assignment, and will likely need at least two more outings before returning to the Los Angeles rotation. Two weeks away is a likely good estimate here.Orioles: Vance Worley will be skipped over against Toronto this weekend and may be used exclusively out of the bullpen until Ubaldo Jimenez has another clunker. Jimenez, who is likely to start again on Wednesday, struck out eight over five innings in a no-decision on Thursday at Minnesota.Pirates: Ryan Vogelsong (eye) threw seven strong innings at Triple-A on Wednesday and should be ready to rejoin the Pirates in Week 17, most likely with two starts on the slate (Tuesday and Aug. 7). Steven Brault would be the likely Sunday replacement should anything go wrong in Vogelsongs return.Red Sox: Theres been some concern over the effectiveness of Steven Wrights knuckleball when the humidity is too high. That said, manager John Farrell isnt planning on altering his rotation based upon the daily weather report. Expect Wright to start, regardless of the conditions in Los Angeles, on Aug. 5.Reds: Homer Bailey has been activated from the disabled list and is making his return from Tommy John surgery on Sunday. Obviously, hell be monitored closely and given plenty of rest between starts for now, but assuming all goes well, he should be back on the hill again come Aug. 6.Twins: Tyler Duffey is scheduled for two starts in Week 17 (Monday and Saturday), but he may not make the second one if he doesnt shine in the first -- assuming he gets the call at all. Duffey has allowed 11 runs over just five innings in his last two starts. For now, manager Paul Molitor says Duffey will go Monday, but Jose Berrios is lined up to start on the same day at Triple-A.White Sox: Anthony Ranaudo, who conceivably could have been in line for two starts this week, was optioned back to Triple-A Charlotte. Carlos Rodon (wrist) is just about ready to return and is tentatively set to start on Sunday. Assuming Chris Sale doesnt get moved, hell be the White Sox pitcher doing double duty in Week 17.AJs Week 17 pitcher rankingsNote: The following rankings list specific assignments, where announced (or logically projected), otherwise theyre projected opponents without dates. If a date is not listed, it means that the pitcher is expected to be part of his teams rotation and these are his most likely opponents for Week 17. As assignments continue to be announced, these will be updated with new dates and/or opponents. If a pitcher is excluded, his Week 17 matchups were too uncertain to project/rank, but he will be added when his assignments are known.1.

Matchup ratings for each individual game are listed under the corresponding date.Hitting matchup chart, Aug. 1-7 H: Hitters matchup rating, which accounts for the opposing starting pitchers past history (three years worth as well as past 21 days) as well as ballpark factors. L: Hitters matchup rating accounting only for left-handed hitters. R: Hitters matchup rating accounting for only right-handed hitters. S: Base-stealing matchup rating, which accounts for the opponents catchers ability to gun down opposing base stealers. Ratings range from 1-10, with 10 representing the best possible matchup, statistically speaking, and 1 representing the worst.Hitting advantagesHere are this weeks volume plays, defined as the teams that play the most home games, or games against right- or left-handed starters:Total games: Red Sox 7, Yankees 7, Rays 7, Blue Jays 7, Indians 7, Royals 7, Twins 7, Astros 7, Mariners 7, Mets 7.Home games: Rays 7, Astros 7, Mariners 7, Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 6, Padres 6, Tigers 6, Yankees 5.Versus LH: Mariners 5, Angels 4, Red Sox 3, Cubs 3, Dodgers 3Versus RH: Yankees 6, Rays 6, Blue Jays 6, ?Pirates 6, Diamondbacks 6, Padres 6, 12 teams face five right-handed pitchers.Houston hitters have been far less productive at home this season, batting 13 points lower on the season in Minute Maid Park. Additionally, a teamwide slump saw the Astros hit just .244 in July, 24 points lower than they did in June. Add to the mix hamstring injuries to Luis Valbuena and Carlos Gomez, and this is a lineup that should probably be avoided in Week 17.Not only do the Mets get to play five out of seven games with a DH, adding to their lineups run-production potential for the week, but they also face five right-handed pitchers. Five different Mets have double-digit home runs against righty starters this season. Throw into the mix that theyll also face left-hander CC Sabathia, who posted a 6.55 ERA against the Flushingites in 2015.Yes, the Arizona Diamondbacks are home for six games in Week 17, and its true that Chase Field has seen the fourth-highest home run production in 2016, according to ESPNs Park Factors. However, they start the week having to face both Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer. The weekend series against the Brewers should go much better, but if youre not able to make daily lineup moves, this may be a lineup to avoid this week.
