Los Angeles Rams — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
The Rams have posted 41, 38, and 47 sacks over the past three seasons, averaging 42 sacks per year across that stretch. Their interception numbers have climbed each year: 10 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 16 in 2025. Fumble recoveries have followed the same upward path, going from 5 to 7 to 9. The 2025 season also produced 2 defensive touchdowns, 12 forced fumbles, and a points-allowed total of 346, the lowest of the three-year window. For a drafter who needs a late-round DST with a real turnover floor, the Rams' recent production history is the argument.
What the model projects
The projection is 121.2 half-PPR fantasy points. The draft value is -24.7, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the DST position in a 12-team half-PPR format. That places the Rams at DST11 and #133 overall, in Tier 9. The bye week is Week 11.

The range of outcomes
The three-season history gives a useful frame for variance. Points allowed ranged from 346 to 386 across 2023 through 2025. Sacks ranged from 38 to 47. Interceptions ranged from 10 to 16. The high end of that range, anchored by the 2025 season, represents a genuinely productive DST. The low end, anchored by 2024's 386 points allowed and 38 sacks, is a unit that scores but does not separate itself. Defensive touchdowns have been present in two of the three seasons but have never exceeded 3 in a single year. The floor is a serviceable streaming option; the ceiling is a DST worth holding most weeks.
How to draft him
The Rams carry no market ADP across the platforms tracked, which means they are not being consistently drafted in public 2026 leagues. In practice, that makes them a free agent or a very late add rather than a pick you need to budget for. At DST11 and #133 overall, the projection reflects a unit that sits below replacement level, so the calculus is straightforward: if you want the Rams, you can likely wait until the final rounds or pick them up off waivers. Week 11 is their bye, so plan a streaming alternative for that week regardless of when you roster them.

Questions drafters ask
The model projects 121.2 points with a draft value of -24.7, placing them at DST11 and #133 overall in Tier 9. That is below replacement level in a 12-team half-PPR format. They carry no consistent market ADP, so most drafters are not spending a pick on them at all.
Over the past three seasons they averaged 13 interceptions and 9.7 forced fumbles per year. Interceptions specifically improved each season: 10 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 16 in 2025. Fumble recoveries also rose each year, from 5 to 7 to 9.
They recorded 41 sacks in 2023, 38 in 2024, and 47 in 2025, for a three-year average of 42. The floor across that window was 38 sacks, so the unit has maintained a meaningful pass-rush presence in each of the three seasons on record.
Their bye is Week 11. Since the projection already sits below replacement level, streaming a replacement that week is the expected approach regardless of roster construction.

Beyond the rankings
This page ranks the players. Nobody has ranked the people in your league.
Half your room drafts off a sheet like this one. The managers who cash every year aren't holding a better sheet; they have tendencies, and after enough seasons the tendencies are a book. Your league's own draft history is where it's written.
RotoAlpha reads it. Paste your past drafts, from any platform, and every manager in your league gets a profile: who reaches, who chases runs, who pays up for their own team. Then it sits with you on draft night with a plan that adapts pick by pick, knowing who is likely to reach next.
Names invented. Most long-running leagues have a table like this.
