The Los Angeles Rams bolster their struggling special‑teams unit by signing veteran linebacker Jon Rhattigan to the practice squad on Oct. 27, 2026. Rhattigan, a 2021 undrafted free agent with 1,200+ special‑teams snaps for Seattle, Carolina, Pittsburgh and the Raiders, could see action as soon as the upcoming game against the Chargers. To make room, the Rams released linebacker Eli Neal, who appeared in 10 games over three seasons, and cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean. With the Rams ranked 32nd in special teams for the second straight year, Rhattigan’s 236 snaps in 12 games last season offer a potential immediate upgrade.
While the Los Angeles Rams have consistently been one of the better rushing teams in the NFL since Sean McVay took over as head coach, one aspect of their ground game that has consistently caused fantasy football managers to pull their hair out is their commitment to a committee, with Blake Corum taking key snaps […]

The Las Vegas Raiders' desent continues in the latest power rankings, as Klint Kubiak's team is falling further after a Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams beat the Las Vegas Raiders 35-21 in Week 7 by exploiting the Raiders’ defensive scheme with 13‑personnel sets. Using one running back and three tight ends on 50% of their snaps—far above the league average—the Rams racked up a season‑high 199 rushing yards (5.2 ypc) and three quarterback kneel‑downs by Matthew Stafford. While Stafford threw only 195 yards, his efficient 66.7% completion rate helped set up the ground game. Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Leonard responded with base personnel on 61.8% of plays, but the extra linebacker on the line of scrimmage and Cover‑3 coverage left the flat open, allowing tight ends and receivers like Puka Nacua and Davis Allen easy scores. The article breaks down the play‑action tactics borrowed from the Patriots and Bills that left the Raiders defenseless.
The San Francisco 49ers have bolstered their defense by trading for former First‑Team All‑Pro defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the Indianapolis Colts, giving up a 2027 fourth‑round pick. Buckner, a three‑time Pro Bowler who logged four sacks this season, returns to the team where he began his career (2016‑19) and will pair with a revived defensive line as Nick Bosa recovers from a calf injury. The move comes as the 49ers sit 6‑1 atop the NFC West, while the Seahawks (4‑3) and Rams (3‑4) trail. George Kittle even praised the trade on X, underscoring the excitement around the acquisition ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline.

The Packers’ offensive line takes another hit ahead of Thursday Night Football as fifth‑year center Sean Rhyan sustains a high‑ankle sprain in the 20‑17 loss to Detroit. X‑rays show no fracture, but an MRI is scheduled and the injury could sideline him for 4–6 weeks. Backup center Jacob Monk also limps with a quad strain, prompting rookie John Williams to be named the potential fill‑in. The string of OL injuries leaves quarterback Jordan Love under constant pressure as Green Bay (4‑3) prepares to face the 3‑3 Carolina Panthers and a tough November slate against the Patriots, Vikings and Rams.
In a 27‑October loss to the injury‑plagued Los Angeles Rams, rookie Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak’s aggressive play‑calling backfires. Kubiak repeatedly opts for fourth‑down attempts and two‑point conversions in the red zone, none of which succeed, while his predictable offense leans on underperforming backs Ashton Jeanty (1.9 ypc) and Mike Washington Jr. despite Washington’s 4.9 ypc. Wideout Brock Bowers totals six catches for 73 yards, but the team fails to exploit man coverage, which the Rams use 53.3% of the time. Highlight reels show Tre Tucker’s 41‑yard YAC run and a 37‑yard TD, yet the Raiders can’t compensate for a sputtering run game. Kubiak’s bias toward ineffective personnel leaves the Raiders scrambling for points.
A handful of interesting snap count trends that emerged from the Las Vegas Raiders' loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season.
The Los Angeles Rams could need to part with a Day‑2 draft pick to land former first‑round wideout Brian Thomas Jr., who the Jacksonville Jaguars might trade if they move on from the 2024 No. 23 pick. Thomas offers the speed to boost a receiving corps already featuring Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but his price mirrors the recent Marvin Harrison Jr. deal (2027 2nd‑round and 7th‑round picks). With the Rams now holding only four picks for 2027—a second, fourth, fifth and sixth—their draft capital is thin after the Myles Garrett trade, making any offer a high‑stakes gamble. A hypothetical trade would send the 2027 2nd‑rounder plus 2028 6th‑ and 7th‑rounders to Jacksonville in exchange for Thomas and a $2 million 2027 salary.
After a 28-24 loss to the Detroit Lions on Oct. 25, the Green Bay Packers are decrying inconsistent officiating, spotlighting quarterback Jordan Love’s zero rough‑passing penalties despite being hit more than any other QB this season. Fans and safety Xavier McKinney voiced anger, while coach Matt LaFleur offered a measured response, saying the team must play through the calls. The Packers sit 4‑3, bottom of the NFC North, and now look ahead to a Nov. matchup with the Carolina Panthers before facing the Patriots, Vikings and Rams.
Wolverines shine in Week 7 of the NFL as J.J. McCarthy debuts for the New York Giants, delivering a 20‑of‑28, 252‑yard performance in a 27‑21 overtime win over Houston, while former Michigan star Blake Corum rushes for 93 yards and a TD in the Rams’ 35‑21 victory over Las Vegas. Aidan Hutchinson adds two tackles, a sack and 10 pressures in Detroit’s 20‑17 win, and other ex‑Wolverines contribute across the league, from Colston Loveland’s TD catch for Chicago to AJ Barner’s clutch plays for Seattle. The roundup highlights Michigan alumni impacting multiple games on Oct. 25‑27, 2026.
The Seattle Seahawks bolster their offensive line by trading for eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts. Seattle gives up a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick, aiming to close the gap with the 6‑1 49ers in the NFC West race. The move addresses the Seahawks' struggles protecting Sam Darnold and establishing a consistent run game, especially with left‑guard Grey Zabel already on the roster. Meanwhile, the Rams, who added Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie, may still consider deadline deals as they look to rebound after a 3‑4 start. The trade reshapes the West’s arms race ahead of Week 16.

The Rams’ first‑round quarterback, Ty Simpson, hasn’t taken a snap this season, prompting speculation about whether a different pick would have helped Los Angeles now. The article compares missed targets like rookie WR Carnell Tate (Titans) and other first‑round receivers—Makai Lemon (Eagles), Omar Cooper Jr. (Jets), and KC Concepcion (Browns), who boasts 30 catches for 315 yards and ranks third in Rookie‑of‑the‑Year odds. It also notes the Rams’ solid O‑line performance, which ranks near the league’s best in pass‑ and run‑block metrics, and touches on alternative positions such as tight end Kenyon Sadiq and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez. The piece argues that a wide‑receiver or line upgrade might have offered more immediate impact than Simpson’s developmental role.
SB Nation’s weekly survey asks Commanders fans if they believe the team is heading in the right direction and whether GM Adam Peters should become an active buyer at the Week 10 trade deadline. With Washington sitting 1‑4‑1 entering Week 8 and facing winnable games against the 2‑5 Eagles and 3‑4 Rams, a two‑win surge could put the Commanders back in NFC East contention. The poll gauges fan confidence and explores trading strategies around quarterback Jayden Daniels before the November 10 deadline.
The Raiders’ 2026 draft class shines amid a 35-21 loss to the Rams, with four rookies on the field. Second‑round pick Treydan Stukes logs all 72 defensive snaps, while fourth‑rounder Mike Washington, despite foot and back injuries, adds 27 yards on six carries, highlighted by a 21‑yard run. Other rookies see limited action: No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza appears only in mop‑up, third‑round Trey Zuhn sees five offensive snaps, and sixth‑round Malik Benson records just three snaps and two punt returns. The preview also hints at how these youngsters might be used against the New York Jets.
The Los Angeles Chargers are in desperate need of a win. It's likely not going to come against the Rams in Week 8.
Blake Corum posted a season‑high 32 snaps and 93 yards with a touchdown in the Rams’ Week 7 win over the Raiders, but the Turf Show Times piece argues he’s not yet the team’s RB1. While Corum’s talent, blocking, and growing snap share (44%) look promising, consistency, health, and a full workload remain questions. Veteran Kyren Williams, a fifth‑round pick, still logged more snaps (37) and earned a solid PFF grade, despite a lingering fumble issue. The duo became the first Rams backfield since 2001 to each rush for 90+ yards in a game, echoing the Faulk‑McNeil era, but the article stresses Williams retains the top‑spot for now.
Former Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly navigates his expanding broadcasting duties without slipping into bias. While still serving as the team's radio analyst, he now leads Netflix's NFL game coverage and calls regional CBS games, carefully avoiding saying “we” on national platforms. Kuechly cites a fortunate schedule—no Panthers matchups on Netflix or CBS—contrasting his experience with Jason Kelce’s on‑air slip. The ex‑defensive star, a seven‑time Pro Bowler and 2013 Defensive Player of the Year, debuted on Netflix with Noah Eagle for a 49ers‑Rams game in Melbourne and will appear on upcoming Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Week 18 games.
