Samuel Sloman 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.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman has some heat on him after the team signed kicker Kai Forbath this week, but he's still the starter for Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. This matchup has the potential to be a defensive struggle like it was in 2018, and that could give Sloman more scoring chances if the offense moves the ball consistently enough. If they're able to get the ball into field-goal range, he could put up some points, but the Bears are allowing fewer than 20 points per game to opposing teams. Although four teams are on byes this week, you should be able to find a better option than Sloman in standard-sized leagues.
