2025 Fantasy Outlook
Despite starting the season as the primary backup to Kyren Williams, Rivers found himself pushed back to third on the depth chart behind Blake Corum by the Rams' Week 6 bye. Most of the former UDFA's 99 rushing yards on the season came in a meaningless Week 18 game, and with fourth-round draft pick Jarquez Hunter joining the running back room, Rivers likely will be relegated to special teams barring multiple injuries ahead of him.

Back to practice squad
The Rams signed Rivers to the practice squad Wednesday, Wyatt Miller of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Rivers failed to beat out Jarquez Hunter for the RB3 spot on the Rams' 53-man roster. Rivers will stick around on the practice squad and would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if Hunter, Kyren Williams or Blake Corum were unable to play.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Undrafted out of Fresno State in 2023, Rivers has bounced on and off the practice squad with the Rams the last two years as a reliable depth option, albeit one with limited upside. While he can contribute on all three downs, Rivers lacks the size, speed or power to be a lead back in the NFL. Los Angeles recognizes his limits and deploys him effectively, but the team also understood that he might be overmatched as the No. 2 option behind Kyren Williams and added Boston Scott in free agency before using a third-round pick on Blake Corum.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More competition for touches
Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports that Cam Akers practiced fully Thursday, and Akers returning to game action could spell the end of Rivers' opportunities with the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Akers had been sitting out with the team searching for a trade partner, but no trade materialized, so the Rams plan to reintegrate the 2020 second-round pick. Rivers had been elevated from the practice squad for the previous game and used in the early-down role occupied by Akers earlier in the season, but with Akers back, the Rams could cut Rivers out of the game plan entirely and simply choose not to elevate him again.
