Rams offense expected to excel with 13 personnel this season
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams anticipate a productive season utilizing 13 personnel, defined as one running back and three tight ends. Coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford led the league in this formation during the 2025 season. This strategy complicates defensive matchups as the larger bodies can overpower smaller defensive backs while remaining effective in the passing game. With substantial depth in their tight end roster, the Rams are likely to continue to exploit defenses that are not adequately equipped to handle this alignment. The team plans to build on last season's success with a full offseason to refine their offensive approach.
