  Rams | Two RBs, two WR join practice squad    Wed Aug 27, 04:27 PM

Free-agent RB Ronnie Rivers (Rams), RB Cody Schrader (Rams), WR Tru Edwards (Rams) and WR Brennan Presley (Rams) were signed to the Los Angeles Rams practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on these running backs, and Schrader is a player in crazy deep dynasty we'll monitor. Schrader was undrafted coming out of Missouri in 2024, and he's spent time with the 49ers and the Rams. He's adept at running in wide zone, and that's a system he could produce within if given the opportunity.

  Rams | No limitations for Matthew Stafford    Mon Aug 25, 02:37 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) fully participated in practice Monday, Aug. 25. Head coach Sean McVay said Stafford is on track to play in Week 1.

Footballguys view: Stafford has been dealing with a disc injury in his back that kept him out of practice for the first few weeks of training camp. He's set to fully participate in practice this week, and McVay told reporters, "There's nothing that would leave me to believe, unless we have an unforeseen setback, that [Stafford's] not going to be ready to roll against the Texans." As long as Stafford is on the field, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams should return value for fantasy investors.

  Rams | Jarquez Hunter on track to be No. 3 RB    Fri Aug 22, 01:32 PM

Los Angeles Rams RB Jarquez Hunter will likely start the season as the team's No. 3 running back but should receive some playing time as a change of pace back, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop.

Footballguys view: Blake Corum separated from Hunter this summer, so we should put away any notion that the pick of Hunter spelled the end of any chance for fantasy relevance for Corum. If Kyren Williams goes down this year, Corum is the back we'll be picking up off of the wire.

  Rams | Matthew Stafford to sit out Saturday    Thu Aug 21, 02:20 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) has been a full participant during practice this week but will not travel with the final preseason game, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Footballguys view: Good news for Stafford and the Rams here. Back issues are troubling, and Stafford needs a bit of time to shake off the rust. He wasn't going to play in the preseason finale even if he was healthy, so that's not really a big news item. However, it is good to see a full participation level as the team gets ready for Week 1. Stafford is a QB2 for Fantasy GMs out there.

Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (groin) is scheduled to play in the final preseason game.

Footballguys view: Good news for the rookie here. Ferguson returned to practice this week after missing time because of a groin injury. We love Ferguson in dynasty formats, but this year he's set to learn as the no.2 tight end for the Rams behind Tyler Higbee.

Los Angles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) has been a full participant in practice this week and appears to showing no ill effects from the back issue that sidelined him recently, according to a report from Stu Jackson of Rams.com. 'There's no restrictions and he's playing at a really high level. ... He's looked like the stud we know,' according to head coach Sean McVay.

Footballguys view: Good news for the Rams here. Stafford has been battling back problems all summer long. It's tricky for any player, but especially for an older player like Stafford.

  Rams | Matthew Stafford practicing again on Tuesday    Tue Aug 19, 01:20 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) practiced again Tuesday, Aug. 19. He hit the field for the first time on Monday after being sidelined for nearly a month with a back injury.

Footballguys view: Being on the field Tuesday indicates Stafford didn't have any sort of setback or aggravation after Monday's practice. Sean McVay said he wanted to see how Stafford's back would respond following his first practice, and it seems to have gone well. Not only did Stafford go through individual drills with the other quarterbacks, USA Today's Cameron DaSilva notes the QB was participating in the team portion of practice, too. The Rams are still being cautious, but as long as Stafford continues to progress, DaSilva contends the QB should reasonably be ready for Week 1.

  Rams | McVay pleased with Matthew Stafford's return, but offered no specific updates    Mon Aug 18, 04:02 PM

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced for the first time during training camp on Monday, with the team noting that he was a full participant in an hour-long practice. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters that Stafford looked good practicing, but added that he doesn't have any further updates. "It was good to be able to have Matthew out there. He did a good job today," McVay said. "I think there was a lot of intended information, but there are no updates. We're going to keep it a day, and really, a week at a time."

Footballguys view: McVay did not share what the rest of the week would be like when it comes to Stafford's practice schedule. McVay also would not go into a level of confidence for Stafford being ready for the opener. "I think that would be putting the cart way before the horse," McVay said, via Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. "I thought he did a good job today." Stafford, 37, had not practiced in training camp until Monday as he's been dealing with a disc issue in his back. We'll continue to follow up as developments warrant.

While it's currently unclear how much Stafford will participate, multiple reporters on the scene note Stafford is taking snaps during individual drills. Stafford, 37 and entering his 17th pro season, has been dealing with a disc issue in his back. We'll follow up as needed.

  Rams | Los Angeles eyeing Kirk Cousins?    Sat Aug 16, 12:26 PM

Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins could be a trade target for the Los Angeles Rams if QB Matthew Stafford (back) continues to deal with a back injury, in the opinion of Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Footballguys view: The Rams have Jimmy Garoppolo to start if Stafford can't play. This back injury is concerning and something Stafford will have to deal with all season long. Cousins isn't what he used to be, but he's well versed in the Shanahan system both the Falcons and Rams have variations of. We'll see if something develops later in the preseason.

Footballguys view: After expectations were set for a Monday return, Stafford is now officially behind schedule. The Rams' staff remains steadfast in the belief that he'll be back soon. But fantasy managers who planned to invest early picks in Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams wouldn't be blamed for looking elsewhere at this point.

  Rams | Matthew Stafford not practicing    Mon Aug 11, 01:14 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 11. Head coach Sean McVay previously stated the plan was for Stafford to participate in individual drills Monday.

Footballguys view: This is becoming a discouraging pattern. The Rams could simply not set goals to get back Stafford back on the practice field and then him missing practice wouldn't seem so ominous. Still, they have one of the best backup quarterbacks in Jimmy Garoppolo and offensive-minded head coaches in Sean McVay, so there's no reason to panic about Rams players or push them significantly down your board.

  Rams | Kyren Williams receives extension    Tue Aug 5, 01:03 PM

Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Rams Tuesday, Aug. 5, worth $33 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $23 million in guaranteed money.

Footballguys view: Williams, a 2022 fifth-round pick, has been the Rams' lead running back since early in the 2023 season. According to ESPN Research, Williams accounted for 43 percent of the Rams' total touches last season, which was the highest rate in the NFL. Williams has 31 scrimmage touchdowns over the last two seasons, which is tied with Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs for the most in the NFL in that span. His 2,443 rushing yards over the last two seasons rank third-most behind Derrick Henry (3,088) and Saquon Barkley (2,967). Despite those numbers, Williams is being drafted as RB12 early in Round 3.

  Rams | Matthew Stafford won't work Monday    Mon Aug 4, 12:03 AM

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) will not participate in the jog-through practice Monday, Aug. 4, but he will do a workout on his own, head coach Sean McVay said. 'It's static throwing. It's some of the unloaded running on the treadmill. Sometimes it might even be walking. Cardio and core,' McVay said.

Footballguys view: Stafford has been working his way through a sore back during training camp. The Rams have said all along that the plan is for the quarterback to be ready for the team's regular season opener against the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 7. So we'll see. There's still plenty of time to get ready. In Stafford's absence, Jimmy Garoppolo has taken first-team reps in his place while former fourth-round pick Stetson Bennett has worked with the second team. The Rams are scheduled to open their season Sept. 7 against the Houston Texans. We'll continue to monitor the situation closely.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) still does not have a timetable to return to practice, but head coach Sean McVay said he is 'very confident' that Stafford will be ready for Week 1.

Footballguys view: We have to trust McVay here, and it helps that the Rams have the highly accomplished Jimmy Garoppolo at backup quarterback. Still, if Stafford not participating in camp gives you pause when considering Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams at ADP, that's only rational.

Los Angeles Rams RB Jarquez Hunter saw some time with the first team Monday, July 28. Head coach Sean McVay said Hunter 'is continuing to see improvement'.

Footballguys view: Hunter has more burst and power than 2024 third round pick Blake Corum. If Kyren Williams were to go down, Hunter and Corum would split time, and it's not clear which would be favored. We'll be watching this situation to see if there's any separation between the two as camp unfolds.

  Rams | Jordan Whittington having strong camp    Sun Jul 27, 11:01 AM

Los Angeles Rams WR Jordan Whittington has performed well in training camp, and head coach Sean McVay said he has been 'super impressed' with Whittington. 'He's got the ability to play all three spots,' McVay said. 'He can really compete in the run game, and I think he's really continuing to increase his route volume. He's played really well.'

Footballguys view: Whittington had observers buzzing as a sixth round rookie last year, and he was the team's replacement for Cooper Kupp when Kupp missed time last year. Kupp is now with Seattle and there are snaps up for grabs with Whittington, second round rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson, and Tutu Atwell - who the team re-signed to a one year, $10 million deal in the offseason - the main competitors for the opportunity. The Rams arsenal of passing game weapons is in good shape, but we may not get to see them practice with Matthew Stafford, who is nursing a sore back, this summer.
