Rams tight ends reduce workload for veteran offensive playmakers

The Los Angeles Rams are increasing their use of 13-personnel offensive groupings to rotate personnel and preserve the health of veteran stars. Quarterback Matthew Stafford stated that the current tight end group provides the team with versatile athleticism, allowing the offense to operate from various alignments. This shift from traditional 11-personnel sets has allowed running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum to improve ground game performance while providing more rest for receiving targets like Davante Adams. Adams, who finished as the league leader in receiving touchdowns in 2025, credited the rotational system with keeping him fresh throughout the season. The offensive adjustment contributed to the Rams fielding the top-ranked offense in the league last year. The team continues to rely on these tight end packages to create matchup advantages and maintain player durability.
