Fantasy Football 2026: Los Angeles Rams Player Insights and Draft Strategies
As the Fantasy Football season approaches, the focus turns to the Los Angeles Rams and their potential for 2026. With new offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase at the helm, the Rams aim to build on their impressive 2025 performance, where they scored the most points in the league with 518 (30.5 per game) and recorded the highest passing yards at 4,557. Team Overview Key Addition: CB Trent McDuffie (traded from Kansas City) Notable Draft Picks: - QB Ty Simpson (Round 1, Alabama) - TE Max Klare (Round 2, Ohio State) - WR CJ Daniels (Round 6, Miami) 2026 Strength of Schedule: Ranked No. 13 (combined 2025 record: 148-139-2) Players to Target Matthew Stafford: Coming off a stellar 2025 season where he won NFL MVP with 46 passing touchdowns, Stafford averaged 26.1 Fantasy points per game. At 38, he still offers significant upside, especially with weapons like Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Draft him as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy option, with an ADP of No. 163. Kyren Williams: Consistently producing with at least 15.5 PPR points for three seasons, Williams is a solid low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 running back. His ADP at No. 46 makes him a great value pick. Blake Corum: As the backup running back, Corum is a valuable flex option. He averaged 7.2 PPR points in 2025 and could explode if Williams misses time. His ADP is No. 101. Players to Avoid Davante Adams: Despite leading the NFL in touchdown receptions with 14, Adams struggled with overall receptions and yards. Concerns about his age (33) and a declining role make his ADP of No. 48 as WR23 risky. 2026 Prediction The Rams look poised to maintain their offensive prowess, but Fantasy managers should navigate their roster carefully, targeting key players while being cautious with aging stars like Adams.
