A seasoned NFL reporter takes a close look at the Los Angeles Rams during training camp.

Quarterback Situation

With a revamped offensive line and a deep backfield, Matthew Stafford is poised to have the most well-rounded running game of his Rams career. This balance will make the offense more unpredictable and difficult to defend. While it may not translate to a career year in terms of numbers, it could be the key to extending Stafford’s NFL tenure.

Rookie to Keep an Eye On

While the top draft picks are obvious, the Rams have a history of finding gems in the later rounds. Sixth-round wide receiver Jordan Whittington has the size and versatility to carve out a significant role, similar to Deebo Samuel. He may not make an immediate impact, but he has intriguing long-term potential.

Player to Watch

Third-string quarterback Stetson Bennett is back with the Rams after taking a mental health break last season. He’ll get plenty of playing time in preseason games and needs to remind the organization why he was worth a 2023 fourth-round pick.

Fantasy Insight

Kyren Williams is set to be a fantasy standout for the Rams, even with the addition of rookie Blake Corum. Williams looks decisive and physical, and head coach Sean McVay is a big fan. He’s the clear No. 1 running back going into the 2024 season.

Notable Observation

The Rams now have the most experienced and accomplished veteran quarterback depth chart in the league with Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo. The duo has combined for an impressive $476.9 million in NFL earnings.

Wildcard Player

The coaching staff is high on free-agent addition Kamren Curl, who can play both safety spots and slot corner. His versatility will give the Rams an abundance of scheme flexibility in the secondary. He’s made a strong impression in practice, and his two-year, $9 million contract looks like one of the best free agency deals of the offseason.
