Ty Simpson, Ty Simpson to Compete for Backup Gig in Rookie Season

The Los Angeles Rams had one of the biggest surprise selections in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft on Thursday night when they took Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. While Simpson figures to be the successor to MVP Matthew Stafford, many draft analysts were wondering if Simpson would fall out of the first round of the draft entirely. After the pick was made, head coach Sean McVay said, "This is Matthew's team." The 38-year-old is entering his 18th season, but he was at the top of his game last year, and it's unclear how long he wants to continue playing. McVay made sure to run the selection of Simpson by Stafford first. L.A. became the first team to have a QB named MVP and then select a signal-caller in the first round since the Packers in 1967. With Jimmy Garoppolo considering retirement, McVay said that Simpson will compete for the backup gig with Stetson Bennett. Simpson doesn't have a long resume from college, but he's a hard worker and is in an excellent situation with the Rams to eventually replace Stafford. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues will need to be patient with Simpson.

Ty Simpson, Rams Select Ty Simpson With 13th Overall Pick

The Los Angeles Rams have selected Alabama quarterback prospect Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. There had been plenty of chatter about Simpson's stock ahead of the draft, and in the end, he'll end up with the Rams as the eventual successor to Matthew Stafford. It's a stunning development, as the Rams have Stafford under contract for 2026 and have reportedly been open to an extension with him. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that the Rams plan to let Stafford dictate his future, and Simpson will be the successor whenever Stafford decides to retire. We can't fault the Rams for wanting to have a clear succession plan in place, similar to how the Packers drafted Jordan Love in the waning years of the Aaron Rodgers era. Plus, having a quarterback on an affordable rookie contract could allow the Rams to hand out a big extension to Puka Nacua or Davante Adams, both of whom are in a contract year. Simpson completed 305 passes for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions during his final season at Alabama. He's a pocket passer who fits nicely in the Rams' system. He'll have to wait a little while before he gets playing time. However, when his time comes, he'll have top-12 quarterback upside in fantasy football.

Matthew Stafford, Rams, Matthew Stafford Have Made "Significant Progress" Toward New Extension

The Los Angeles Rams and MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford have made "significant progress" on a new contract extension that should put him in the building for the 2026 offseason, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. A deal is not done yet for Stafford, whose current contract runs through the 2026 campaign, but head coach Sean McVay said earlier this year that he thinks Stafford could play beyond the upcoming season. The 38-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowler was present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason program, but it doesn't mean he'll be around for all workouts as he continues to work towards a new extension. The Rams also plan to put Stafford on a pitch count this offseason, which means he could be a limited participant in training camp this summer. The injury risk with Stafford is very real at the tail end of his Hall of Fame career, but it's hard to ignore his career-high 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 passing yards during the regular season in 2025 in L.A.

Puka Nacua, Puka Nacua Present for Rams First Day of Offseason Program

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was present for the first day of the team's offseason program on Monday, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Nacua led the NFL in catches (129) and receiving yards per game (107.2) in 16 regular-season contests while also posting a career-high 1,715 yards and career-high 10 touchdowns in just his third year in the NFL. The 24-year-old has been in the headlines this offseason for the wrong reasons, though, and he recently checked into a rehab facility last month. A civil lawsuit was also filed against Nacua in March, which stems from an incident on New Year's Eve in 2025. Nacua isn't expected to be in any danger of receiving a suspension from the league, so he'll be in play as the first receiver off the board in fantasy drafts this fall. He even beat out Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the title of WR1 overall in fantasy points in 2026.

Davante Adams, Glaring Opportunity to Sell High on Davante Adams?

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams finds himself in a classic sell-high situation this offseason. He was the overall WR6 in half-PPR leagues when healthy (14 games) last season. A significant portion of his fantasy production came from his 14 touchdowns, which tied his highest mark since 2020 in Green Bay. Adams is due for touchdown regression in 2026, even though he plays in a Rams offense that throws the ball near the goal line a lot. As a result, his volume and yardage potential will carry more weight, and we're not super bullish about that. He had a relatively modest 60 catches for 789 yards last year, and he never caught more than six passes in a single game. If the touchdown total scales back, Adams will have extreme difficulty remaining a top-15 receiver with that volume share. At 33 years old, Adams' days of being a top-10 fantasy receiver could be behind him. Yet, managers can capitalize on the fact that he has been a top-12 receiver in each of the last six seasons, using that statistic to sell high and pick up some significant compensation in a dynasty league trade. He has fallen to WR41 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
