Zach Evans
RB -
Week 7 Outlook
Availability
The Rams released RB Zach Evans.
Fantasy Impact
Evans was unable to earn a depth role in the Rams backfield. He'll look to land another opportunity.
Los Angeles Rams RB Zach Evans saw 14 carries on Saturday, which he took for 45 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact
The 2023 sixth-round pick will hope to make the team again this season as he made an appearance in 10 games last year for the Rams.
Rams RB Zach Evans is officially inactive for Thursday’s matchup with the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Evans’ status is not a surprise considering the 22-year-old rookie last recorded a touch in Week 12. Fantasy managers should expect Kyren Williams to see the bulk of the attempts Thursday, with Royce Freeman serving as the backup.
Zach Evans is expected to back up both Royce Freeman and Darrell Henderson for Week 7 vs the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Evans was the popular choice to lead the Rams backfield after Kyren Williams (ankle) was placed on IR. Now, it looks like the Rams will lean more heavily on their veterans in the short term as opposed to the rookie. The situation is still certainly a bit of a mystery, but Evans is now looking to be the least involved of the three vs the Steelers.
Zach Evans is "likely" to operate as the Rams' No. 1 running back in Week 7 versus the Steelers, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop.
Fantasy Impact
With Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) both expected to miss time, fantasy managers are looking for some clarity. It appears their temporary replacement will be Evans, who is currently the only running back on Los Angeles' roster. The Rams expect to promote Royce Freeman from the practice squad, and although he will get involved, it appears Evans will be the top option. He ranks as a high-end fantasy RB3 versus the Steelers.
