# Is Myles Garrett still an elite fantasy IDP option after moving to the Rams?

**Short answer: Absolutely yes — he might actually be an even better IDP asset now than he was in Cleveland.**

Here's why:

**✅ Elite production hasn't changed.** Garrett is coming off a 23-sack season (NFL single-season record) and has 83 sacks over the last five years — most in the league. His 0.70-second get-off is the fastest among all edge rushers. *(from the Myles Garrett page)*

**✅ Better situation for IDP volume.** The Rams upgraded their secondary with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, meaning QBs will have to hold the ball longer — directly creating more sack opportunities for Garrett. Last year the Rams ranked 21st in converting pressures to sacks (18%), while Garrett led the NFL in quick-pressure rate. That conversion rate should rise. *(from the Myles Garrett page)*

**✅ DC Chris Shula is player-first.** Shula's philosophy is to avoid constraining elite talent to rigid roles — he's already experimenting with Garrett at different alignments during OTAs. Per the wiki: "Fantasy implication: Garrett's sack opportunities should increase in a well-constructed scheme that doesn't constrain him." *(from the Chris Shula page)*

**✅ More leads = more pass rush.** The Rams are Super Bowl favorites with a loaded offense (MVP Stafford + Nacua + Adams). When the Rams play with a lead, opposing offenses have to throw more, and Garrett gets more pass-rush downs.

**The one minor caveat:** He turns 31 this season, and ESPN graded the trade a C- for the Rams, noting the cost. But for *IDP fantasy purposes* this is a win — elite pass rusher, better team context, upgraded secondary, and a coach who designs around his strengths. He's still the top-tier IDP DL1 you can build your defense around.
