LOS ANGELES RAMS
The offense graded 100 — first in the league — and it starts with the highest wide receiver grade I gave anyone: a 9.5 who treats contact as a suggestion he's declining. The edge room and the interior both graded top-three heavy; the corners are the tax you pay for it. The history column is thin for a Rottweiler, which tells you the units carried this file on their own backs. And a thirty-something quarterback with an 8.5 dawg grade at pick 103 is exactly the kind of mispricing my QB bump was built for.
The Four Factors
Each factor is normalized 0–100 across the league — 100 is first, 0 is dead last — then weighted into the 75.2. Weights are the same for all 32 teams: defense 35, offense 30, history 20, coaching 15.
DEFENSE
× 35%Top-ten. The room-by-room grades below show where the teeth are and where the fur runs thin.
OFFENSE
× 30%First of 32. The 9.5 receiver is the highest skill-player grade I gave, the back and the veteran quarterback are both certified, and the line holds a 7.5 as one unit. Blind grades, market weights, no charity required.
HISTORY
× 20%Thin for a top-breed team — one recent ring doing most of the lifting against a modest vibes read. The units bought this file its collar, not the trophy case.
COACHING
× 15%Top-three. Aggression you can verify on a chart, not a press-conference vibe.
The Unit Room
The raw grades behind the factors — my dawg read on each unit group, 1 to 10, with its weight inside the defense factor and where it ranks among the 32. Defense is graded by unit group this season, not player-by-player — per-player cap-hit weighting arrives when the final 2026 cap tables settle. Said loudly on the main board, said loudly here.
The Roster Sheet
Every Ram on the frozen ADP board — the market's price next to my dawg read. The two numbers were never allowed to meet: I scored the player blind, then ADP told me how much of the offense rides on him. That firewall is the whole method. Names that link go to that player's file in the prop room; the rest don't have one yet.
| ADP | PLAYER | POS | DAWG |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | Puka Nacua | WR | 9.5 / 10 |
| 32.7 | Kyren WilliamsFILE → | RB | 7.5 / 10 |
| 40.0 | Davante Adams | WR | 7.0 / 10 |
| 103.0 | Matthew StaffordFILE → | QB | 8.5 / 10 |
| 121.2 | Blake CorumFILE → | RB | 7.0 / 10 |
Puka Nacua (9.5/10) is the alpha grade on this sheet. A quarterback priced at 103.0 with an 8.5 dawg grade is why QBs get a weight bump in my math — fantasy prices the position cheap for reasons that have nothing to do with identity. And note pick 103: the market filed Matthew Stafford there. I filed him at 8.5. The market prices touches. I price want-to.
Where the Paper Rides
The season-long ledger lives on the main board and grades itself all year. Here is the Rams' part in it, breed against breed.

Rottweiler-on-Rottweiler is a coin flip between monsters — nothing goes on the ledger. Everything else, the ledger takes the Rams against the closing line, paper units only, no exceptions and no feelings. The rating is locked; if the Rams stop being dawgs, the record will say so and I won't flinch. Flinching is your department.
