Rams' Fantasy Fortunes Hinge on Stafford's Health

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Los Angeles Rams have several intriguing fantasy football options on their roster. Wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, running back Kyren Williams, and tight end Tyler Higbee all have the potential to be top scorers at their respective positions. However, the Rams' overall fantasy prospects largely depend on the health and performance of quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Stafford, who is entering his fifth season with head coach Sean McVay, has been dealing with a back injury that has kept him out of the first two weeks of training camp. While he has recently returned to practice and is progressing well, the Rams are taking a cautious approach to ensure Stafford is fully recovered before the start of the regular season. The team's title hopes and the fantasy value of its skill position players hinge on Stafford being available and productive throughout the year.

If Stafford can stay healthy, the Rams' offense could bounce back after a somewhat disappointing 2024 campaign. They finished 15th in total yards last season but struggled to find the end zone, ranking just 20th in scoring. With Stafford at the helm and the team's talented skill players, the Rams are hoping for a much more successful 2025 season. However, any setbacks with Stafford's back injury could derail those plans and significantly impact the fantasy fortunes of the Rams' key contributors.
