Needs minor procedure on knee
Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Fiske will need a "minor procedure" on the knee that he injured during the Rams' NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles this past Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
McVay added that the surgery won't affect Fiske's availability for the beginning of the 2025 season. Fiske injured his knee while sacking Jalen Hurts in the first half of this past Sunday's game, and it was serious enough for him not to return. The 2024 second-round pick led all rookies during the regular season with 8.5 sacks and finished with 44 tackles (20 solo), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games. Fiske was also named as one of the five finalists for the AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
An outstanding NFL Combine helped Fiske leap into the second round of the 2024 Draft, with a 4.78 40 among other impressive feats. Fiske is undersized for a defensive tackle (6-4, 292 pounds) but still managed to rack up 6.0 sacks with his ability to shoot through gaps. The Rams are dangerously thin at defensive tackle with Aaron Donald's retirement, so Fiske will likely step into a starting role alongside Kobie Turner if he can fend off Tyler Davis and Larrell Murchison for the job.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should make presence felt in '24
Fiske, who the Rams selected out of Florida State in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, should have a strong rookie season, Chad Reuter of NFL.com opines.
ANALYSIS
In making a case for players who he feels could comprise a 2024 All-Rookie defensive team, Reuter discusses the potential for Fiske and fellow FSU product and first-round pick Jared Verse to mirror the success enjoyed by Kobie Turner and Byron Young as third-round rookies last season. Reuter cites the abundance of one-on-one situations Fiske should be afforded on the interior of the defensive line as likely pivotal to his first-year success.
