Rams Tender Contracts to Harrison Mevis, Xavier Smith

Monday, March 2, 5:18 PM

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they tendered exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Harrison Mevis and wide receiver Xavier Smith. Neither Mevis nor Smith will be allowed to negotiate with other teams this offseason. Mevis, 23, made his NFL debut last year and was impressive, making 12 of his 13 field-goal attempts (made his lone try from 50-plus yards) and all 39 of his extra-point tries in nine regular-season games. He finished the year ranked as the No. 8 fantasy kicker in terms of fantasy points per game at 8.3. In the playoffs, Mevis was a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals (six) and extra-point tries. The former undrafted kicker out of Missouri should enter the 2026 season as the favorite to be L.A.'s starting kicker, which will make him pretty attractive in fantasy football in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

Jeshaun Jones News

Jeshaun Jones Solid In Preseason Finale

Saturday, August 23, 8:38 AM

Wide receiver Jeshaun Jones led the Minnesota Vikings with four catches on four targets Friday at Tennessee, which he turned into 41 receiving yards. It was a solid showing for a Minnesota team in need of extra help at receiver with Jordan Addison (suspension) and Rondale Moore (knee) set to miss time. Jones has a chance to stick around, but it's highly probable Minnesota will add another receiver between now and Week 1.
