2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Rams used a rotation at free safety in 2024, and Lake was a primary beneficiary. After playing nearly exclusively in the slot in 2023, he played regularly in the box, at free safety and in the slot last season. The result was an expanded role and breakout performance, highlighted by 111 tackles, five passes defensed and two sacks. The tricky part of Lake's performance was that he primarily excelled against the run but has yet to establish himself as reliable in coverage. That could result in Kamren Curl and Lake swapping safety spots in 2025, with Lake playing more regularly in the box with Curl operating as a more traditional safety. If the Rams are unwilling to do so, Lake is likely to be in line for a significant step back in fantasy production even if he remains a key member of the defensive unit. Read Past Outlooks

Won't play Week 18

January 2, 2026
Lake (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Lake was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and ended Week 18 prep with back-to-back full practices, but he's not quite ready to return from a left elbow injury that has kept him sidelined since mid-November. Given his ability to log full practices, Lake stands a good chance to be activated from IR ahead of the wild-card round of the playoffs.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Entering his third year in the league, Lake saw his usage spike in 2023 after taking over as a starting safety in the latter half of the season. While Lake never managed to earn an interception over 14 games played, he did rack up 53 tackles and six passes defended. Jordan Fuller departed in free agency, but the Rams added veteran Kamren Curl to take over at strong safety. Lake likely will continue to serve as the Rams' starting free safety ahead of Russ Yeast, the man he took over for last year, but the Rams may choose the hot-hand approach again if neither player leaps out in the preseason.

Likely done for regular season

December 2, 2025
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Lake is recovering well from Nov. 18 surgery to address an elbow injury, but the defensive back is considered unlikely to return from injured reserve before the end of the regular season, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "He's been around, he's been in good spirits," McVay said of Lake. "The hope is, if you earn the right to play afterwards, then he'll get a chance to be able to join us then. I don't know if the regular season is realistic for him, but if we are able to earn the right to be able to play games after the 17 w''re guaranteed, I think there's a chance he'll be back for those."
