Rams DT Aaron Donald is not traveling with the team to Australia for Thursday's opener against the 49ers.
What They're Saying
ESPN's Adam Schefter: "The Rams want to give Donald more time to ramp up before making his much-anticipated return after two seasons of retirement."
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Don't Bet on Much
Even if Donald's active for the team's Week 2 game, we'll need to see how much playing time he actually gets before considering him as an IDP option.
I haven't bothered projecting Donald yet because I don't know when he'll play and don't expect him to make much fantasy impact even once he does.
We'll see about Donald's status heading into Week 2 and then see about both his snap share and performance once he does hit the field.
Whenever Donald's ready to go, he certainly should further help a team defense that looks good for fantasy use and bad for opponent offenses.
