Rams 2025 outlook hinges on Stafford’s health and a deeper, explosive receiving corps joined by Adams. Puka Nacua emerging as a true threat, Kyren Williams handling a balanced role, and a young defensive wave (Verse, Young, Fiske) give LA top-end upside. Week 1 vs Houston tests Stafford’s back and the offense’s ceiling, with early fantasy clues on Adams, Nacua and Williams in a tougher-than-looks opener.

Philadelphia edged Dallas 24-20 in the season opener, doing so without Jalen Carter after an early ejection for spitting on Dak Prescott. The win keeps Philly rolling and tests their depth up front as they adapt on the fly.

Miles Sanders jump-started Dallas’s ground attack with a 49-yard burst and finished 4 carries for 53 yards, but a red-zone fumble kept the door open for the Eagles. Jihaad Campbell shined in his first NFL start with three tackles and a pass defended, Byron Young forced a fumble, A.J. Brown was quiet until late, and Braden Mann supplied the special-teams spark with booming punts inside the 20 and a critical long punt.

Josiah Stewart is in concussion protocol as the Rams prepare for Week 1 against Houston. McVay called it a minor incident but clarified Stewart is progressing well, keeping fantasy managers hopeful for a rookie edge option backed by Jared Verse and Byron Young. Stewart sat out the finale after the update and will be monitored for clearance, which could determine the Rams’ Week 1 edge rotation.

Stewart’s preseason sack vs Dallas highlighted upside, yet his early-season involvement hinges on whether he’s cleared. If he returns, he’ll join Verse and Young in a three-man rush committee, with steady snaps possible on all downs. If not, Verse and Young could shoulder a larger burden, elevating their fantasy and DFS value in Week 1 against the Texans.
