The Los Angeles Rams' signing of D.J. Humphries provides crucial depth to their offensive line for the 2025 season. With Alaric Jackson facing health uncertainties due to blood clots, Humphries offers a reliable contingency plan at left tackle. His experience, including 98 career starts, ensures that the Rams avoid a significant drop-off in protection should Jackson be sidelined.
Fantasy Impacts:
Matthew Stafford (QB): With Humphries potentially stepping in, Stafford's protection remains league-average, supporting his projection as a low-end QB1/high-end QB2.
Kyren Williams (RB) & Blake Corum (RB): Both backs benefit from Humphries' solid run-blocking, with Williams projected as a high-end RB2 and Corum as an RB3/flex option.
Puka Nacua (WR) & Davante Adams (WR): Improved protection allows for more downfield opportunities, with Nacua as a WR1/2 and Adams as a WR2.
Overall, Humphries' addition stabilizes the Rams' offensive line, minimizing fantasy risk for key players and maintaining their projected values for 2025.
