Team news: Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are listing WR Davante Adams as doubtful for Monday night against the Falcons.

It had been reported that Adams could miss the rest of the regular season. The Rams have already secured a playoff spot and their chances of winning the NFC West have dwindled — if the Seahawks and 49ers both win Sunday, their Week 18 meeting would be for the division and the No. 1 seed. Puka Nacua will continue to get peppered with targets — he had 12 catches on 16 targets for 225 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16.

WR Davante Adams, hamstring, is making progress toward turn but will be monitored through week, McVay said.

Adams seemed like he was making progress last week as well before being ruled out, so it seems he may have a shot to play in Week 17. The bad news is it's a Monday night game so owners will be potentially risking a lot if they wait on Adams and he's ultimately ruled out. Now is the time for a backup plan if you need to wait it out with Adams.

Sean McVay said he doesn't anticipate WR Davante Adams (hamstring) playing against the Falcons.

It looks like Nacua will be in place to continue his historic run, and just in time for us to cash in on a fantasy championship. The rest of the WR room is a little too thin to be playing in these pivotal matchups.

What the Rams do have is a rookie receiver who has learned from Davante Adams for the last seven months, taking in everything that the veteran has had to offer. Konata Mumpfield, a seventh-round rookie out of Pittsburgh, could see an increased role after Adams suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday’s win, which could sideline him for multiple weeks.

The story said Mumpfield has played between 38% and 45% of the snaps in the last four games, emerging as the Rams’ No. 3 receiver. He’s only caught five passes for 42 yards and a touchdown this season, but he’s been on the field a lot and has gained valuable experience. The story went on to say the Rams will likely use a committee approach to replace Adams on offense, assuming he does miss Thursday night's game. Mumpfield could lead the way as a true X receiver opposite Nacua, the story said, the same position Adams plays. Mumpfield has acquired a ton of knowledge about lining up in that spot from Adams, the story went on to say. Mumpfield probably isn't a guy to insert into fantasy lineups in typical leagues, but he may be worth picking up if he's on your wire in very deep leagues.

Sean McVay did not rule Davante Adams, who is also listed with a knee issue, out for Thursday night, however, and indications are that the team will wait as long as possible before making a decision about whether he will play.

Adams aggravated a hamstring injury in Sunday’s win over the Lions and the team listed him as a non-participant on Monday’s estimated practice report. Adams will be out of practice again on Tuesday.

On Monday evening, NFL insider Ian Rapoport provided a somewhat positive update, stating that Davante Adams was considered week-to-week. That likely means Adams will miss the Rams' Week 16 game with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, but Adams could be available for the regular season stretch run, as well as the playoffs for the NFC leaders.

Adams, who had been playing through a mild hamstring issue, appeared to worsen the injury on a deep route with 12:42 remaining in the game. Adams pulled up near the end of his route and crashed to the ground, lying on his stomach helmet down knowing the injury was significant, the story said. The short week won't help Adams and his fantasy owners for Week 16 it looks like, and it's a key game in the NFC West as well. Nacua should continue to get plenty of targets in this contest, and the Rams may look to their TEs to pick up some targets as well. Higbee had a catch for 23 yards, but Parkinson went off for a 5-75-2 line on seven targets.

Rams WR Davante Adams injured his hamstring Sunday against the Lions and head coach Sean McVay sounded pessimistic about his chances of playing Thursday against the Seahawks.

The Rams avoided a scare when Puka Nacua only suffered cramps, otherwise the Rams could have been down their top two wide receivers. They could be without Adams for a huge NFC West showdown in Seattle Thursday but McVay did say he “certainly wouldn’t rule him out yet.” It’s a tough turnaround on a short week so we’ll keep an eye out. Adams caught four passes for 71 yards in the 41-34 win over the Lions.

Rams WR Davante Adams went to the locker room after pulling up during a route in the fourth quarter.

Adams was running a deep route and began limping before the ball arrived. He was down for a few moments as trainers tended to him. He was able to walk off the field and into the locker room. He is questionable to return.

Rams RB Kyren Williams’ ankle was “pretty good” today, per Sean McVay.

Blake Corum

Williams popped up as questionable to return to the game with an ankle injury, but Williams did manage to return and scored a touchdown as well. The post went on to say Williams said the scar tissue from previous injuries made it easier to deal with in-game yesterday. Corum played on 32% of the snaps and finished with a 7-81-1 line. Meanwhile Williams went for 13-72-1. Williams should be good for Week 14 but Corum has definitely been eating into his workload.

The Rams’ already stellar passing game should have another target on Sunday against the Panthers.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters today that wide receiver Tutu Atwell will practice this week and should be off injured reserve and on the active roster to play on Sunday.

McVay said Atwell, who hasn’t played since October 19 because of a hamstring injury, appears to be “ready to roll” this week, the story said. It went on to say he's only caught four passes this season, but he has big play ability to add to the offense. At best, he's the WR3 behind two target hogs in Nacua and Adams, and so Atwell is more of a boom or bust fantasy option.
