LAR Max Klare
NFL player. Position: TE. Team: Los Angeles Rams.
Quick Facts
- Position: TE
- Team: LAR (Los Angeles Rams)
- Draft: 2026, Round 2 (NFL Draft)
2026 Outlook
Max Klare was drafted by the Rams in the second round and currently slots as the clear TE4 on the roster behind Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, and Terrence Ferguson. The path to relevance improves next year when Higbee and Parkinson hit free agency, but he'll need to win a competition with Ferguson for the backup role in 2026. Ferguson has a better production profile and is more athletic, making Klare's immediate fantasy upside limited. Still worth considering in late second/early third round of rookie dynasty drafts as a longer-term stash. (per 18 Dynasty Rookies Experts Target in Drafts (2026 Fantasy Football) - FantasyPros)
The Klare selection reflects the Rams' all-in commitment to 13 personnel (three tight ends), making this the second consecutive year LA drafted a tight end in the second round. McVay views this as succession planning—Higbee and Parkinson are both in potential final seasons, positioning Klare as a long-term fill.
