Coaching Staff
The Los Angeles Rams’ storied coaching turnover continued this offseason, with five staff members taking their talents elsewhere. Notable departures include former defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and former quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Zac Robinson, who respectively filled the Atlanta Falcons’ vacant head coach and offensive coordinator roles. Yet head coach Sean McVay retained offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, so the overall offensive philosophy should remain the same.
McVay relies on three-wide receiver sets (11 personnel) for his base offense, leading the league in 11 personnel snaps in five-of-seven regular seasons since his 2017 hiring, though his commitment to using motion varies. McVay’s recent embrace of the latter tactic coincides with LaFleur’s arrival, resulting in the regular season’s highest 11 personnel snap count (1,086) and second-highest use of motion (780). Across the full NFL season, the Rams finished ninth in success rate (35.7 percent), sixth in expected points added (EPA) per play (0.053) and seventh in positive EPA rate (46.5 percent). Fantasy managers should expect continued success from the Rams, who employ one of the league’s most fantasy-friendly, high-volume offensive units.
