The Los Angeles Rams have a great receiving group.
Cooper Kupp is on the team, and he is someone that some consider to be a top-3 receiver in the NFL.
The Rams also brought in Allen Robinson to mitigate the loss of Odell Beckham Jr. It is unknown if Beckham will return, but it will be later in the season if he does. Additionally, Van Jefferson has improved with each season he has been in the league. Jefferson comes in as the third receiver on the squad.
Pro Football Focus agrees that the Rams have a top receiving group too.

However, the team seems to be ranked lower than it should be. The Rams are ranked seventh overall at the receiver position.
Ben Linsey authored this list, which falls under wide receiver in the main article. Therefore this list should consider the receivers on each team and how they compare to each other.
Most teams ranked higher than the Rams have their tight end position mentioned, though. That position is vital to the overall receiving corps but is not a receiver.
The teams above the Rams are the: Bengals, Buccaneers, Dolphins, Eagles, Raiders and 49ers. Six of these teams have their tight end mentioned in the blurb that Linsey has with each entry.
Mike Gesicki, Dallas Goedert, Darren Waller and George Kittle are all elite tight ends, so the overall group should be rated higher. However, they have nothing to do with the wide receiver position. Therefore, they should be exempt from being mentioned.
The Rams do not have the best pass-catching group in the league. There are a few other teams that deserve to be above them. But anything less than top-5, when looking strictly at the wide receiver position, is disrespectful to the team.
