2024 Fantasy Outlook
Verse, the Rams' first first-round pick since 2016, was one of the top pass rushers in the ACC for the Seminoles, tallying 87 tackles and 17.0 sacks over his two seasons at Florida State. He boasts premier physical attributes for an outside linebacker, and while he won't instantly replicate the production of the recently retired Aaron Donald in Year 1, Verse should be an immediate starter in the pass rush alongside Byron Young.

Records first sacks since Week 1
Verse recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, and an additional quarterback hit during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker was able to get to Sam Darnold in the second quarter, earning a big sack on first down that eventually led to a three-and-out by the Vikings. In the fourth quarter, Verse managed to split a sack with Michael Hoecht, forcing another Vikings punt two plays later. Verse's usage also was a season high, as he took the field for 42 of the Rams' 50 snaps on defense. He'll look to put the pressure on Geno Smith in a divisional showdown with the Seahawks in Week 9.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should make big rookie impact
Verse, who the Rams selected with the 19th overall pick out of Florida State in the 2024 NFL Draft, is projected to have a significant impact in his rookie year by Chad Reuter of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Reuter sees Verse and fellow FSU product and second-round pick Braden Fiske as making a similar impact in their first seasons as Kobie Turner and Byron Young did for the Rams while combining for 17 sacks in 2023. Reuter predicts Verse will go a long way to filling the void created by Aaron Donald's retirement and cites his ability to overpower tackles with a ferocious outside rush as key to success in his first pro season.
