The Los Angeles Rams selected Miami WR CJ Daniels in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Daniels is already 24 after spending six years in college. That run included a torn right ACL in the spring of 2022. Daniels finally broke out for 1,064 yards and 10 scores in his fourth season at Liberty before transferring to LSU for the 2024 campaign. He finished just fourth on that team with 42 catches and 480 yards. Daniels was better at Miami this past year, ranking third in catches (50) and yards (557) and second in TDs (7). His 33.8% dominator rating ranked ninth among 49 WRs invited to the Combine. But his 1.73 yards per route ranked 37th. And this all came as a 23-year-old, sixth-year college player. Daniels is a fine route runner with passable ball skills. But there’s no standout trait to his game. He seems unlikely to develop into a real fantasy factor.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Ohio State TE Max Klare in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Klare broke out as a redshirt sophomore at Purdue in 2024, leading the team in all major receiving categories and registering a strong 30.9% dominator rating. His 2.22 yards per route ranked 11th among 85 FBS WRs with 30+ targets. Klare transferred to Ohio State for the 2025 campaign and wasn’t as productive playing behind first-round WR Carnell Tate and future first-round WR Jeremiah Smith. But Klare finished third on the Buckeyes in catches (43) and receiving yards (448). The 6’4, 246-pounder is a well-rounded TE. He ran 47% of his college routes from the slot and 43% inline. Klare creates mismatches with his burst, runs tight routes, and is a serviceable blocker. He doesn’t boast the upside of Kenyon Sadiq or Eli Stowers, but Klare can develop into a fantasy TE1.

The Rams selected Alabama QB Ty Simpson with the 13th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. That lands Simpson in one of the league’s best developmental spots, with Sean McVay calling the offense and Matthew Stafford still in place. The concern: Simpson's resume includes only 15 college starts. Recent first-round QBs with 15 or fewer starts include Anthony Richardson, Mitchell Trubisky, and Dwayne Haskins. That’s not exactly a comforting list. Still, Simpson flashed enough NFL-caliber traits to earn Round 1 capital. He threw for 3,567 yards, 28 TDs, and 5 INTs in his lone season as Alabama’s starter. Among 15 Combine-invited QBs, he ranked fourth in Big Time Throw rate, eighth in average depth of target, and 10th in adjusted completion rate.

Rams WR Puka Nacua checked into a rehab facility last month. Per Nate Atkins of The Athletic, the Rams were “urging Nacua to grow as a person after a series of controversies off the field.” He's accused of biting two women and making an antisemitic comment on New Year’s Eve.

Rams QB Matt Stafford edged Patriots QB Drake Maye 366 points to 361 for 2025 MVP. Stafford announced at the end of his acceptance speech that he'll be back for the 2026 campaign. His career seemed to be on the ropes due to back trouble this past summer. But he was ready for Week 1 and turned in one of the best seasons of his career.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday's Divisional Round game vs. the Bears. We're expecting the rookie to slot in third among Los Angeles' TEs in routes, behind Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee.

Rams QB Matt Stafford (right finger) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He told reporters that the finger feels "great" and that he doesn't plan to wear any protection on it for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. Stafford looked a bit off after hurting the finger in last week's win over the Panthers, but it doesn't look like it'll be an issue this weekend.

X-rays on the right finger injury Rams QB Matt Stafford suffered in Saturday's win over the Panthers came back clean, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Stafford banged the finger on edge rusher D.J. Wonnum late in the first half. "It wasn't pleasant. It wasn't great," Stafford said afterward. "We'll see what it is. I was obviously able to finish the game and throw it decent. Once the ball's snapped, the adrenaline's pretty good, so we'll hopefully just keep it going." Stafford struggled during the third quarter but was able to engineer a pair of TD drives in the fourth. We'll keep a close eye on his status leading up to next weekend's Divisional Round game vs. the Seahawks or Bears.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the Panthers. That should leave Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee as the clear top two TEs in terms of pass routes, with Davis Allen the No. 3.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Panthers. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday, after missing Week 18. Ferguson figures to slot in as Los Angeles' No. 3 TE behind Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee if he suits up this weekend. If not, Davis Allen will be the 3rd TE.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. He's on track to return for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Panthers. Adams should play his usual role in that one, although there's always risk of an aggravation with hamstring injuries.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) and TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) are expected back for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Panthers, HC Sean McVay said Monday. Adams has been out since Week 15 but returned to limited practices this past week. McVay said the Rams "erred on the side of caution" in bringing Adams back. "I know it's pissed him off pretty good," McVay added. Ferguson is also expected to play vs. Carolina after missing Week 18. He figures to be the No. 3 TE behind Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson.

Rams RBs Kyren Williams (ankle) and Blake Corum (ankle) are active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Both guys were listed as questionable. We’re expecting the Rams to go all-out to win this one and lock up the NFC’s No. 5 seed, so Williams and Corum figure to play their usual roles.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He returned to limited practices on Thursday and Friday and should be on track to return for next week’s playoff opener.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury. He wasn't listed on Friday's final injury report, so the hamstring issue evidently popped up after practice. Ferguson will miss the regular season finale and now looks iffy for at least the playoff opener. TE Tyler Higbee has been activated from IR and will join Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen in the TE room vs. Arizona.

Rams RBs Kyren Williams (ankle) and Blake Corum (ankle) are listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. Williams got in three limited practices, and HC Sean McVay said Friday that he “feels good” about Williams’ status for this one. Corum looks much iffier after only getting in a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for more updates on this backfield but won’t get Los Angeles’ inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He put in a full week of practice and is expected to be activated from IR, HC Sean McVay said Friday. Higbee has been out since Week 11 but led Rams TEs in routes (53%) and targets (30) before going down. He makes a crowded Rams TE room even more crowded for Week 18 and the playoffs.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday – his first since going down in Week 15. HC Sean McVay said earlier this week that he didn’t expect Adams to play in the regular-season finale, but he’s on track to return for the first round of the playoffs.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday -- his first since going down in Week 15. Adams is more likely ramping up for the playoffs than to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. But we'll see what he does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Don't expect to see him out there vs. the Cardinals this weekend. We'll see if Adams can make it back for the playoff opener.
