Rams injury updates push lineup decisions as they prep for weekend action. Rob Havenstein is out with an ankle while Davante Adams is limited with a hamstring, and Steve Avila is making progress but status remains uncertain. Justin Dedich, Colby Parkinson, Braden Fiske, and Kamren Kinchens were limited as the club monitors day-to-day status. McVay stressed the need for clarity by Wednesday.

Colts notes show Buckner did not participate (back), Matt Goncalves (toe), Xavien Howard rested, Kenny Moore (Achilles), Alex Pierce (concussion), and Rigoberto Sanchez (Personal Matter). The breadth of limited players and rests signals a game plan reliant on line play, rotation, and target usage, shaping fantasy angles for Rams receivers and Colts defenders.

Kamren Kinchens, a promising safety for the Los Angeles Rams, is poised for a breakout season in 2025 after a standout rookie year. Selected 99th overall in the previous draft, Kinchens demonstrated remarkable ball-hawking skills, tallying 57 tackles and 4 interceptions in 2024, including a record-setting interception return. As the Rams prepare for training camp, Kinchens is expected to step into a more significant role alongside Kamren Curl in the secondary, potentially enhancing his fantasy value.

The Rams are looking to build on their defensive momentum, and with Kinchens' playmaking ability, he could become a sleeper pick for fantasy managers in need of defensive backs. His trajectory aligns with the team’s focus on youth and talent development, making him a player to watch as the Rams shape their future.

With the 2025 NFL Draft approaching, the Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for their selections, beginning with the 26th overall pick. In ESPN’s seven-round mock draft by Jordan Reid, the Rams focus on revitalizing their defense and adding offensive depth.

Highlighted in the first round is Georgia safety Malaki Starks, praised for his versatility and ball skills, which could significantly bolster the Rams' secondary. Following Starks, the Rams draft TCU wide receiver Jack Bech, likely to complement established stars like Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

In subsequent rounds, the Rams also target offensive tackle Chase Lundt, cornerback Cobee Bryant, and several other prospects, including quarterback Dillon Gabriel and tight end Moliki Matavao, aiming to enhance both sides of the ball for the upcoming season.
