Four down territory: Takeaways from Rams blowout win over Saints

Sean McVay's backup quarterback decision between Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson carries essentially zero fantasy relevance for your draft prep, and the confidence on this even being a real competition sits at just 50%. Both players are firmly buried behind Matthew Stafford on the depth chart, and a preseason battle for QB2 duties in Los Angeles is not something that should move either name on your draft board this August.

The one concrete data point here — the Rams' preseason win over the Saints with no notable injuries or transactions — is neutral news. Stafford's health remains the swing factor for Rams offensive fantasy value, and nothing in this cluster suggests any change there. Bennett and Ty Simpson are both undraftable in essentially every standard fantasy format; neither projects for meaningful snaps unless Stafford suffers an injury, and even then, backup Rams QB play has not historically produced fantasy-relevant output.

Action for your draft prep: leave both Bennett and Simpson off your board entirely, even in deep dynasty or two-QB leagues, unless you're stashing purely for speculative injury-lottery value late in a very deep bench. If you're in a league requiring a QB3 handcuff for Stafford, this is worth monitoring only if McVay's decision becomes clearer closer to the regular season — but with 50% confidence and no real fantasy stakes, there's no actionable move to make right now. File this under "watch, don't act."
