Summary

The Rams had all sorts of problems defensively last season but most of it was because they couldn't keep a cornerback healthy. Hopefully, that changes this season, especially with new cornerback Cortland Finnegan in the mix. Finnegan finally gives the Rams a shutdown corner. The Rams also were awful against the rush last season, which has been an issue for years. They ranked 31st against the run and allowed 17-rushing touchdowns. New coach Jeff Fisher should help in this area as will the additions of defensive tackles, rookie Michael Brockers and Kendall Langford. The pass rush could be pretty good with Chris Long and Robert Quinn coming off the edge. Both have double-digit sack potential. The special teams have been nothing special the last several seasons. Rookie Isaiah Pead could help as the kick returner. Pead is a big-play threat with speed and good moves in the open field.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
We expect this unit to be much improved. Fisher will have them playing hard. Pass defense remains a concern but they could post some good sack totals while keeping yardage totals down more this season. The Rams will be worth some spot starts, especially in the weak NFC West.

The St. Louis Rams are interested in re-signing impending free-agent DE William Hayes (Rams), and the interest is mutual. He had a strong performance last season on a one-year contract, and likely earned himself more money as a result. He made friends with his line mates and openly acknowledged how much he enjoyed his first season with the Rams.
