Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images Despite no career NFL games, Rams fans seem obsessed with QB Stetson Bennett Stetson Bennett is probably the first quarterback who can confidently say that he had to win two national championships to get respect. Now that he’s entering his second year in the NFL, but in many ways is still a rookie, it seems that Bennett is not just surviving on reputation...He’s thriving on the mystery of being a drafted quarterback who could still have a future with the Los Angeles Rams, as both Sean McVay and Les Snead have given positive remarks on his return before the ..read more

According to Kevin Patra of NFL.com, Los Angeles is tied for the 12th-hardest strength of schedule ahead o ..read more

Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images How much does the presence of Blake Corum affect Kyren Williams fantasy football value? If Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams was on your fantasy football roster last season, there’s a pretty good chance he ended up winning your league for you. Williams finished the season as the RB7 in fantasy football in 2023 which is a very solid RB1. However, after returning from injury in Week 11, the Rams running back was RB4 and was a league winner during the fantasy football playoffs. Williams was the third most-rostered player and the most rostered runnin ..read more

Photo by Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images LA seems happy to continue their relationship with the veteran quarterback past this season, but on their terms Reports of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford looking for more guaranteed money on his contract past this season came as a bit of a surprise, as the veteran QB is signed to the team through 2026. However, the problem from Stafford’s perspective is that on his current deal there is no longer any real guaranteed monetary commitment from the team after the 2024 season, as most of his secured money h ..read more

Grau/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A feared HS running back to a Michigan scoring champ, Blake Corum now competes for Rams’ attention When the Los Angeles Rams drafted Blake Corum in the middle of the third round, bypassing prospects at positions thought to be bigger “needs” than running back, the move was met with a mix of excitement and skepticism that general manager Les Snead was doing the right thing given that Kyren Williams is coming off of a breakout season. As Corum is many things that fans say they don’t want in the draft: He’s a running back, the greatest draft ..read more

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports Why it was better for Rams to draft Joshua Karty than to sign Jake Bates out of the UFL The Rams spent a sixth-round pick to select what I believe to be the best kicker in the NFL Draft this year. They decided to go this route to fill their gaping hole at the kicker position, a position that gave them plenty of trouble this past year. Instead, some fans wonder if the Rams should have just signed Jake Bates from the UFL. Should they have? My answer is no. While Jake Bates is the talk of the UFL right now due to his enormous leg and consistency, it’s still impor ..read more
