Eric Weddle

Eric Weddle has officially been activated from the practice squad, and will play in Super Bowl LVI.

Fantasy Impact

After reportedly being signed to play a small percentage of snaps, Weddle, 37, has played 85% and 100% of the Rams defensive snaps in their last two playoff games. The Rams defense is now healthy entering a matchup against the explosive Cincinnati Bengals offence in Super Bowl LVI.

Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle has been promoted from the practice squad and will be part of the Rams active roster for Monday Night Football.

Fantasy Impact

Weddle was coaxed out of retirement when the Rams lost starting safeties, Jordan Fuller and Taylor Rapp to injury. The Rams also promoted fellow defensive back, Blake Countess. Los Angeles is expected to start Nick Scott and Terrell Burgess but should give Weddle enough snaps to make an impact.

Eric Weddle has signed with the Rams for the playoffs, replacing the injured Jordan Fuller.

Fantasy Impact

Weddle will be involved with the Rams' defense but his signing does not have much fantasy relevance.

Eric Weddle announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Weddle, who spent the majority of his career with the Chargers, was first-team All-Pro in both 2011 and 2014. He also played for the Ravens from 2016-18 before spending this past season with the Rams. Weddle was the rare safety who seamlessly handed his coverage responsibilities while also being an excellent tackler.

Eric Weddle finished Sunday’s 55-40 loss to the Buccaneers with the team high 14 tackles (10 solo).

Fantasy Impact

Weddle is currently third on the Rams in total tackles (34) and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. He is a great start in deeper leagues or in fantasy leagues that require starting a player at the safety position.
