When you think about the Los Angeles Rams' offense in 2026, you're thinking about star power, depth, and a whole lot of potential. ESPN's Mike Clay recently dropped his full-season stat projections for the Rams' key offensive players, and if these numbers hold up, fans in LA are in for an exciting ride.
Let's start under center. Matthew Stafford is coming off an MVP-caliber season where he threw for a staggering 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns. Clay projects another strong year for the veteran quarterback: 3,983 yards, 34 touchdowns, and just nine interceptions on 522 attempts. While those numbers don't quite match his MVP pace, they'd still mark his third-highest touchdown total since 2012 and put him on the verge of his 11th career 4,000-yard season. That's the kind of consistency that keeps a team in contention.
Behind Stafford, rookie first-round pick Ty Simpson is projected for limited action—13 completions on 20 attempts for 136 yards, one touchdown, and one pick. Realistically, Simpson only sees the field if Stafford is injured or if the Rams are cruising to a blowout win. Either way, getting the rookie some live reps is never a bad thing.
Now, let's talk about the ground game. Kyren Williams is projected to be the workhorse once again, with 267 carries for 1,228 yards and 11 touchdowns, plus 31 catches for 209 yards and two more scores through the air. Blake Corum isn't far behind, though. Clay projects 180 carries for 840 yards and seven touchdowns, with 16 receptions for 109 yards and another touchdown. That split is similar to last season, when Williams had 259 carries to Corum's 145. However, some analysts, like Nate Atkins of The Athletic, expect a much closer 50-50 split this time around. Either way, if both backs stay healthy, the Rams could see over 2,000 combined rushing yards—a dream scenario for any offense.
Of course, the biggest question mark remains at wide receiver. With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams locking down the top two spots, the battle for WR3 is wide open. The depth is there, but no one has seized that role just yet. Whoever steps up will be crucial in keeping this offense balanced and explosive.
Bottom line: Clay's projections paint a picture of a Rams offense that's deep, experienced, and ready to make noise. Whether it's Stafford slinging it, Williams and Corum grinding out yards, or the wideouts making plays, there's plenty to be excited about in LA this season.
