Verse, Defensive Rookie of the Year, is producing academic scouting numbers but not fantasy points; edge-setting and run-stopping may not translate into IDP points yet.

Verse carried attention last year as a rookie edge rusher and remains a disruptive presence for Rams. His pressure on the Titans’ quarterback can accelerate Stafford’s decisions and spark sacks. Verse’s versatility around the edge sustains the Rams’ defensive ceiling in this Week 2 showdown.

Verse’s speed and structural progress give the Rams a growing edge presence, helping stabilize the defense and sharpening the pass rush in concert with the edges.

Verse posted a 90.6 PFF grade, applying consistent edge pressure in a tight Rams defense. His presence helps unlock other pass-rushers and shapes the Rams’ game plan for Houston, illustrating upside for speculative DL picks in favorable matchups.

Verse’s 90.6 PFF grade and four pressures highlight a disruptive presence who can generate chaos even without sacks. A fourth-quarter hold on Texans’ backfield pressure underlined his ability to pressure through the interior and keep plays in front of him, signaling high upside as his technique tightens.
