Rams shift focus to tight ends, altering offensive strategy for 2026

The Los Angeles Rams appear set to reduce their reliance on 11 personnel for the 2026 NFL season. Coach Sean McVay has opted not to acquire a third receiver, instead prioritizing defensive additions and tight ends in the recent draft. With the selection of quarterbacks and tight ends, the Rams may transition to more 12 and 13 personnel formations, limiting the role of receivers in favor of additional tight ends. Concerns linger regarding the health and performance of their top two targets, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The team's strategy adjustment raises questions about their ability to execute comebacks in close games without a robust receiving corps.
