an even better option would be running back Dean Connors. Signed to the 53-man roster two weeks ago, Connors should immediately take over for Bachman as the punt returner... Connors background as a running back offers that skill and better fits what the Rams need from the position.

Connors' running back skills and youth make him the ideal punt returner upgrade for the Rams.

Connors, signed to the 53-man roster two weeks prior, is positioned as an immediate upgrade at punt returner over Alex Bachman. His running back background provides superior ball security, vision, and ability to read blocks—skills the source identifies as most important for the position. At age 23, Connors possesses the burst and athleticism Bachman lacks. The source argues Connors should take over before Monday night's game against Buffalo, given the Rams' special teams rank 32nd in the NFL in Special Teams DVOA (-14.5%) and the team's history of being knocked out of the playoffs due to punt fielding issues (2017, 2025).
