Long secret meetings between Sean McVay and rookie quarterback Simpson confirm the head coach was fully invested in drafting him 13th overall as the future of the franchise. The Rams intentionally kept their interest quiet, even instructing Simpson to hide their pre-draft interactions to ensure they could secure him as Matthew Stafford’s successor.
If he ever wants to leave coaching, McVay will have a successful career in acting. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Simpson is viewed as the heir apparent and expected to spend his first two NFL seasons developing on the bench while Stafford remains the starter.

The Los Angeles Rams just made a move to prepare for the future at No. 13 by securing Ty Simpson, a former five-star pedigree weapon who possesses the elite processing and 64.5-percent Completion Percentage needed to orchestrate Sean McVay’s offensive symphony. While his 22.7 Breakout Age (9th-percentile) looks sluggish on paper, it was a pure situational delay behind Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe, and his historic 0.9% Interception Rate proves he is the high-floor, surgical distributor this system craves.
In dynasty formats, Simpson is a player you may have to wait on, but has a massive ceiling, as his 76.0 College QBR and underrated mobility make him a future Superflex cornerstone in one of the most QB-friendly systems in the NFL.
Puka Nacua has checked into a rehab facility following a civil lawsuit alleging he bit a woman and made an antisemitic remark on New Year’s Eve. His attorney cited intense media coverage as a factor in his treatment entry, while Rams coach Sean McVay expressed support for Nacua’s growth and a desire to keep him on the team long-term.
Although Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, negotiations are expected to proceed more slowly than those of his peers as he works through these personal and legal challenges. Nacua’s quick action and self-awareness reinforces the “buy the dip” advice for fantasy football dynasty leagues.
On Monday, Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that Matthew Stafford will not require surgery this offseason to repair a herniated disk. Interesting news considering the veteran’s back was a major storyline entering the 2025 season. He missed much of training camp, and no one knew how much it would impact his play for the 2025 season. Turns out, it was a non-issue, as Stafford led Los Angeles to the NFC Championship game.
The 37-year-old Stafford was as sharp as ever this past season. He completed 65% of his passes for 4,707 yards and a career-high 46 TD passes against only eight interceptions. Stafford is an MVP candidate for the first time in his career and could take home the award at the 15th annual NFL Honors this Thursday night. Looking ahead, his future remains unclear, as Stafford isn’t under contract for 2026 and hasn’t yet declared if he intends to play.

Matthew Stafford threw for 374 yards and three touchdowns but it wasn’t enough and the Los Angeles Rams lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game. Stafford and the Rams gave the number one ranked Seattle defense all they could handle but in the end it wasn’t enough.
Puka Nacua was Stafford’s favorite target, catching nine passes for 165 yards and a score. Davante Adams and Kyren Williams were the recipients of Stafford’s other two touchdown passes.
The Rams were considered favorites to make the Super Bowl out of the NFC for most of the year so anything short of that was going to be a disappointment but the key pieces on offense remain so they’ll continue to be an offense fantasy managers will target come draft season.

The Los Angeles Rams are headed to the NFC Championship game following a nail-biting 20-17 overtime victory over the Chicago Bears. Matthew Stafford completed 20 of 42 passes for 258 yards and protected the football, finishing with zero turnovers despite constant pressure from a ferocious Bears defense. The Rams found success on the ground, led by Kyren Williams, who rushed for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns.
After Chicago tied the game late on a miracle touchdown pass, the Rams’ defense rose to the occasion in overtime. Safety Kam Curl and cornerback Cobie Durant anchored a unit that forced three interceptions on the night, including the game-sealing pick of Caleb Williams in overtime.
The Rams now head to Seattle to face their NFC West rivals with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
