Scoring Zone's Take

For fantasy purposes, treat both names as speculative watch-list adds at best heading into draft prep. Without knowing whether Gilmore or Deal are competing for a meaningful offensive role, a special-teams spot, or simply camp bodies, there's no basis to project touches, targets, or snap share for either player. Given the vague framing ("roster moves") common to offseason transaction dumps, it's plausible these are depth signings that won't have any bearing on the Rams' fantasy-relevant skill positions at all.

Actionable takeaway: don't spend a roster spot or draft capital on Gilmore or Deal based on this news alone. Keep them on your radar only if follow-up reporting clarifies their positions and puts them in a real competition for snaps — for example, if either turns up mentioned in backfield or receiver-corps camp battles as August progresses. Until then, this is a hold-and-monitor situation, not a buy signal. Confidence in any deeper read here is low given the sourcing.

The Rams have made a few roster moves on Monday.
