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.

Sources close to St. Louis Rams OT Rodger Saffold said he doesn't intend to hold out due to his impending switch to right tackle. Saffold will participate in the team's official offseason conditioning program, despite participation being voluntary. He's in the final year of his rookie contract.

St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead said OT Rodger Saffold has played right tackle before but will meet with Saffold to talk about his position. 'So we'll sit down and discuss that internally with the player and even his agent. But Rodger's a team player and he's young. If he comes in and consistently plays like he did at the end of last year, Rodger will be fine and we'll be better,' Snead said. Snead said the team has not decided if Saffold or OT Jake Long will play at left tackle.
Fantasy Impact: Long is playing left tackle. There is no question about that. Saffold will take over the right side, making the line pretty solid.
St. Louis Rams OT Rodger Saffold could ask the team to trade him if they sign free-agent OT Jake Long (Dolphins) this offseason.
Fantasy Impact: We don't see the Rams caving into this request as moving Saffold to right tackle would be an ideal move for the team if they signed Long.
