The Rams selected Klare in the second round of the NFL Draft from Ohio State, and he will compete for a prominent role this year. We don't recommend drafting Klare in most redraft leagues, and he's a third-round pick in rookie-only drafts for Dynasty leagues. In 2025 with the Buckeyes, Klare had 43 catches for 448 yards and two touchdowns on 56 targets in 14 games. He has the potential to be a quality Fantasy option, but the Rams are loaded at tight end with Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. The good news is the Rams use plenty of multiple-tight-end sets. But Klare could struggle to post consistent production, which is why we don't recommend drafting him in most formats. At best, you can add Klare off the waiver wire during the season if he's playing well.

Rams' Max Klare: Logs seven catches in Rams debut
Rotowire
Klare caught seven passes on eight targets for 37 yards during the Rams' 20-12 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.
Klare was listed as the Rams' starting tight end for Saturday's exhibition game while Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson all observed the contest from the sidelines. Klare made the most of the opportunity, with four of his team-high seven catches coming in the first half, though he did commit a holding penalty late in the third quarter. Still, it was a productive performance from the rookie second-rounder, who is battling against Davis Allen (quadriceps) for a depth spot on the 53-man roster. The Rams' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Saints.

Rams' Max Klare: Added by Rams
Rotowire
The Rams selected Klare in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 61st overall.
Klare (6-foot-4, 246 pounds) is a natural fit for head coach Sean McVay's offense, having showcased natural acumen as a route runner during college along with solid speed and athleticism, though he didn't take part in drills at the combine and has room for improvement as a blocker. As a redshirt junior at Ohio State in 2025, Klare totaled 43 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns on 56 targets across 14 games. As a rookie, however, Klare's opportunities project to be significantly limited as he works to establish himself in one of the NFL's most crowded TE rooms. All of Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen had roles on offense in 2025.
