Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

Villari is a developmental piece buried on the Rams' tight end depth chart, ranked just TE #119 in early expert boards and rostered in essentially zero leagues. The 6'4", 243-pound Syracuse product carries no 2025 game data, no statistical track record, and no published projections, which tells you everything about where he sits in Los Angeles' pecking order entering the year. There is simply no production to lean on here.

The one thing working in his favor is scheduling noise: the Rams draw the second-easiest tight end slate, with soft early matchups and a friendly playoff stretch. That's irrelevant until he earns snaps, though. Until an injury ahead of him or a clear role emerges, Villari is a watch-list name for the deepest dynasty formats only and shouldn't occupy a redraft roster spot in any standard league.
