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.

He may have worked his way into consideration for the NFL's defensive rookie of the year. 'There's some good players out there, but I think his numbers, especially the touchdown numbers from the defense standpoint is quite impressive,' head coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday, Dec. 25. 'So I think he'd probably get a mention.'

St. Louis Rams WR Chris Givens and CB Janoris Jenkins missed curfew, and coach Jeff Fisher made them run stairs before the game in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact: Nice. It still isn't known what either guy did but it must have been fairly big to see Fisher react this way.
