Yahoo Sports NFL on LaJohntay Wester
From the article
The Rams extensive use of pre-snap motion and condensed/stack sets could be very liberating. Wester's open-field running skills could lead to more dynamic screen passes and jet sweeps. The value on Wester couldn't be much... The Rams could use a little lightening in their return game. Wester is affordable, still on his rookie deal, and could likely be had for a later round pick, maybe even one in 2028.
STACKED’s take
Wester offers affordable special teams value with potential offensive upside in Rams' motion system.
The source identifies Wester as an affordable, low-cost trade target for the Rams; a 2025 Round 7 pick (#203) by Baltimore, he is in his second season as the Ravens' primary punt returner and has also returned kickoffs. Wester is diminutively built (5'10", 165 lbs.) with prototypical kick returner traits including good speed (4.46 forty) and burst (1.53 10-yard split), and he darts through traffic with vision and cuts made at speed. On offense, he fits into motion systems that allow him to operate in space and can create mismatches against safeties or linebackers with his one-cut move style and speed. Working behind Zay Flowers as the Ravens slot receiver has limited his offensive service, but the Rams' extensive use of pre-snap motion and condensed/stack sets could be liberating. Still on his rookie deal with offensive snaps fallen off a cliff since the first three weeks of the season, Wester could likely be had for a later-round pick, possibly even one in 2028.
