The Browns acquire KT Leveston from the Rams for a 2028 seventh-round pick, signaling a push to bolster left-tackle depth and re-emphasize the run game. Leveston, who missed his rookie season with an ankle injury, flashed in Week 2 preseason (elite 89.8 overall, 93.6 run-block) and lands in Cleveland as they finalize a run-heavy approach. Depth-chart implications are on the radar as rosters lock later today.

Fantasy-wise, Leveston’s immediate value hinges on where he lands on the depth chart and potential starts. Monitor how Cleveland lines him up and whether he cracks the starting lineup, since the Browns’ ground game growth could hinge on a healthier, more versatile swing tackle in Leveston.

Cleveland hosts Los Angeles in a preseason finale that doubles as a Week 1 tune‑up. The Browns will scout five Rams players to slow the offense and test depth: Stetson Bennett IV, Cam Lampkin, KT Leveston, Shaun Dolac, and Jarquez Hunter. Also in focus are Rams standouts Nate Valcarcel and Brennan Presley, who could swing the outcome as Cleveland evaluates its roster for RB3 and other depth roles.

Bennett has the Rams’ offense humming with two preseason games, delivering 512 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 2 picks, while Lampkin flashed elite coverage early and Leveston posted elite run blocking. Dolac has impressed at linebacker, and Hunter is the streaky back carrying the Rams’ ground game. Cleveland must neutralize the run and contain Bennett’s timing to keep the dress rehearsal from tilting away from them.

The Browns will lean into roster decisions behind Pierre Strong Jr. and Ahmani Marshall and aim to limit big plays from the Rams’ first unit. Defensively, Cleveland looks to pressure Bennett and disrupt the rhythm of a rolling Rams attack, while sorting through its own RB3 battle and evaluating depth pieces for the 53.

The Los Angeles Rams enter a pivotal weekend with 10 roster-bubble players eyeing one last chance to secure a spot ahead of the Tuesday cut to 53. In Cleveland, the competition spans every unit from backfield to cornerback, with the final preseason game shaping depth and special-teams roles. Cody Schrader’s late push at running back sits alongside Ronnie Rivers’ precarious outlook as he recovers; Britain Covey battles for punt return duties and a meaningful offensive role behind Xavier Smith, while up-front KT Leveston and Justin Dedich anchor an OL group that remains unsettled. The defense features Desjuan Johnson and Desjuan Johnson’s surge at DT, and Shaun Dolac could overtake a vet for a fifth linebacker spot. Derion Kendrick and A.J. Green are in a crowded cornerback room, each needing strong tape to secure a depth role. Willie Lampkin’s versatility also warrants attention as he recovers from an injury, with Brennan Jackson and Nick Hampton in the mix for edge duties. The Browns test will reveal who truly earned a spot on the final 53, and which players can contribute beyond Week 1 as fantasy values and depth pieces.

Training camp serves as the ultimate proving ground for several Los Angeles Rams players this summer, with key individuals vying for spots on the roster. Stetson Bennett leads the charge, needing to prove he can overcome past struggles and earn his place after a rocky start since being drafted. Meanwhile, Blake Corum faces competition from rookie Jarquez Hunter, who could edge him out for the backup running back position. Tight end Davis Allen is at a critical juncture in his career, needing to solidify his roster spot while competing against established veterans. Offensive linemen like KT Leveston and Desjuan Johnson are also under pressure to showcase their skills. This season promises to be pivotal for multiple Rams as they battle for roles in a deep lineup.
