Aaron Donald may be closer to making a decision about joining the Rams.
Aaron Donald has official workout with Rams as rumors of a comeback continue
Aaron Donald had an official workout with the Rams, indicating potential for a comeback.
Fantasy Implication reviewed impact +0.3
Aaron Donald is a defensive tackle, so in standard redraft and dynasty formats this news has essentially zero fantasy relevance — DL are not scored. Where this matters is IDP (individual defensive player) leagues and DST rankings. If Donald actually returns, he instantly becomes a premium IDP DL target again (elite pressure/sack/tackle production even at reduced snap counts), and the Rams' overall team defense (DST) value rises meaningfully due to his impact on pass rush, which in turn can boost takeaway and sack-based DST scoring. It would also modestly benefit Rams pass-rush partners (e.g., other Rams DL/EDGE players in IDP formats) by drawing extra blocking attention, and could slightly help Rams DBs in IDP leagues by increasing pressure-forced turnovers.
For standard fantasy managers, this is a non-move — no lineup changes needed. For IDP or 'defense/special teams' focused dynasty leagues, this is a notable signal to watch: if Donald signs, immediately re-evaluate Rams DST and IDP DL rankings, and monitor his snap count/health closely since a workout doesn't guarantee full-season durability at his stage of career.
