WR Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams
The Rams compiled a tremendous offseason on several fronts, headlined by extending Matthew Stafford. But, their signing of Adams in particular has paid immediate dividends in helping the team become a Super Bowl frontrunner.

Even at age 33, Adams has returned to peak form in his first year catching passes from Stafford and running routes alongside Puka Nacua. His 84.1 PFF receiving grade is not only the 11th-best among qualified receivers, but also his highest since 2022. The ex-Packer has been extremely friendly for his quarterback with a 112.6 passer rating when targeted, too.

The Rams pace the NFL in offensive EPA per play and success rate, and Adams’ contributions have certainly helped spur that production.

Dl Poona Ford, Los Angeles Rams
The Rams already boasted top-notch defensive line talent going into 2025 in the form of Jared Verse, Byron Young and Kobie Turner. Still, that didn’t stop general manager Les Snead from making a splash in Ford — and the addition has been phenomenal.

Ford has proliferated his outstanding play from a year ago in SoFi Stadium. In 2025, his 89.5 overall PFF grade is the second-best among qualified interior defenders. While Ford has been good as a pass-rusher with a 73.2 PFF pass-rushing grade, he’s made his mark in run defense — procuring an 85.5 PFF run-defense grade with a 12.7% run stop rate.

Los Angeles’ defensive line holds top-five figures against both the pass and run this year, and Ford is an indispensable part of that.

LB Nate Landman, Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles’ defense has been nearly as effective as its offense, placing sixth in EPA per play and eighth in success rate. While the team’s defensive line is particularly ferocious, positive plays from those like Landman have also been instrumental.

Landman was an unheralded signing from the Falcons but has performed like an above-average linebacker in Los Angeles. His 73.7 overall PFF grade is 18th among qualifiers, and his 79.4 PFF run-defense grade is 16th in that same group. Landman also places in the 81st percentile in PFF coverage grade (67.4) and in the 90th percentile in run stop rate (9.2%).

The Rams were so impressed with Landman that they bestowed a three-year, $22.5 million extension upon him in late November. He’s definitely helped shore up what had previously been a shakier portion of Chris Shula’s defense.

The Rams have designated CB Roger McCreary for return from injured reserve.

He was the team’s lone trade acquisition from the Titans this season but went out after his first defensive action against the Seahawks in Week 11.

Updates from Sean McVay on Roger McCreary and Quentin Lake:

– McCreary’s practice window opening today “with the intentions of him being able to play.”

– “Most likely” will open Lake’s practice window next week.

McVay said earlier this week they won’t activate Havenstein this week, so they will for at least this week.
