Rest-of-Season Projections
Bigger role coming?
Speights is expected to start Sunday in the place of Troy Reeder (hamstring), who was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Speights saw his first defensive action of the season in the Rams' Week 8 win over the Vikings, recording four total tackles across 42 snaps (22 defensive and 20 on special teams). Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that he was "pleased" with Speights' play, suggesting he could be in for a larger role with Reeder sidelined for the immediate future. Expect Speights to serve as the Rams' top left inside linebacker in Week 9 when the team travels to Seattle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lock to make 53-man roster
Rams general manager Les Snead said Saturday that Speights will make the 53-man roster and be active on game days, per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Speights made a strong impression during training camp after signing with the Rams in May as an undrafted free agent out of LSU. Not only has he locked up a roster spot, it looks like the inside linebacker is poised to see meaningful playing time. The Rams also informed starting inside linebacker Ernest Jones that he's on the trade block, and Speights would be a leading candidate to fill the playing time void should Jones be traded.
