The Rams tendered Mevis on Monday. Mevis was lined up to be an exclusive rights free agent, but it's no surprise the Rams decided to tender him, which will prevent him from being able to negotiate with other teams. The undrafted kicker out of Missouri latched on with Los Angeles' practice squad in November last year and eventually earned his way to a role as the team's starting kicker. He debuted Week 10 against San Francisco and finished the regular season having converted 12 of 13 field-goal tries and all 39 of his point-after attempts. Mevis then went 6-for-6 on FG tries and 9-for-9 on PATs in the postseason, all but assuring that he'll enter training camp as the frontrunner for the team's kicking job in 2026.
Mevis connected on all three field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals. It was more of the same for Mevis, who has been rock solid since taking over the starting kicker role from Joshua Karty in Week 10. Over his nine games as the starter, Mevis was a perfect 39-for-39 on extra-point tries and 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts, with the lone miss a costly one in overtime against the Seahawks in Week 16. Despite the lone blemish on his record, Mevis has proven to be a reliable option at kicker for the Rams, something they've sorely lacked since the departure of Matt Gay after the 2022 season. The Rams likely will extend a contract offer to Mevis, an exclusive-rights free agent, after the playoffs, but for now he'll prepare for a wild-card round showdown against the Panthers on Saturday.
Mevis made his lone field-goal attempt and connected on all three of his extra-point tries during the Rams' 27-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday. The Rams offense was held scoreless in the first half, but Mevis put his team on the board with a 35-yard field goal early in the third quarter. Since joining the Rams in Week 10, he has gone 9-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 35-for-35 on extra-point tries. Per Stu, head coach Sean McVay relayed after Monday's loss that the Rams' healthy starters will play against the Cardinals on Sunday, so Mevis' fantasy floor will remain somewhat elevated in Week 18.
