Samuel Sloman Fantasy

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to sign free-agent kicker Sam Sloman, pending a physical, to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to a source. Sloman kicked for the Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans as a rookie last season. The 23-year-old seventh-round pick of the Rams made 72.7 percent of his field-goal tries with LA before landing in Tennessee and kicking the game-winning field goal to clinch the AFC South title. With Chris Boswell set to be the Steelers primary kicker again in 2021, Sloman figures to represent depth at the position in Pittsburgh and can be ignored in fantasy.

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving rookie kicker Samuel Sloman on Tuesday. Sloman connected on all three of his extra points in the Monday night win over the Bears but had one of his two field-goal tries blocked. He hadn't seen enough volume (11 field-goal attempts) this year in the Rams offense in seven games to be considered anything more than a shaky streaming option for fantasy managers. Sloman also missed his lone attempt from 50-plus yards and was one of two from 40-plus yards. The Rams figure to go with Kai Forbath now as their kicker heading into Week 8 against the Dolphins. The 33-year-old was perfect on 11 tries last year with the Cowboys and Patriots, but he'll be an uninspiring option in this LA offense.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman needed to put together a strong performance in Week 7, but he still couldn't quite get the job done against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He went just one of two on his field goals, and his miss was even blocked. The Rams brought in veteran Kai Forbath last week to push Sloman for the job, but he still didn't have a flawless week. It's quite possible we see a changing of the guard prior to Week 8 against the Dolphins. The Rams offense has potential to be profitable for whoever is their kicker, but this situation is one to avoid for now for fantasy managers.
