Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Hits pay dirt twice in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 10:12 PM
Williams rushed 15 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Williams got the Rams' offense cooking with a couple of trips to the end zone in the first half of Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old is now up to 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, giving him double-digits in the category for three consecutive years. Williams also hit the 1,000-yard mark as a rusher Sunday, a feat he has also accomplished in each of his last three campaigns. Blake Corum (11-71-1) remained a factor in his backup role, but Williams is the Rams' clear RB1 for Thursday's pivotal NFC West matchup against the Seahawks. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Earns win over former club
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 8:56 PM
Stafford completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 368 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while gaining two yards on one carry in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Stafford shook off the interception he threw on the Rams' opening drive in order to lift his current club to victory over the team that took him first overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. It was the third time this season that the veteran gunslinger eclipsed 350 passing yards as he continues to show no signs of slowing down. The only concern lies with star WR Davante Adams (hamstring), who aggravated his nagging hamstring injury in the fourth quarter and did not return to the contest. If Adams is unable to make the short turnaround for Thursday's tilt against the Seahawks, then Stafford may be forced to lean heavily on WR Puka Nacua in a tough road environment for Week 16. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Goes off for 189 yards
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:18 PM
Nacua finished with nine receptions on 11 targets for 181 yards while adding two carries for eight yards in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Nacua set a new high-water mark for receiving yards in a single game this season just one week after missing his previous mark (170) by three yards against the Cardinals. The budding superstar was balling out so hard against the Lions that he was forced to leave the contest in the fourth quarter due to cramping. Nacua's fantasy managers can exhale knowing that he promptly returned to the field in order to finish off one of the top individual performances in Week 15. The same could not be said for teammate Davante Adams (hamstring), who was forced out of the win with the same injury that had been nagging him in recent weeks. With a short turnaround in Week 16, it wouldn't be surprising if Adams misses Thursday's tilt against the Seahawks. That scenario would lead to Nacua seeing heavy usage while operating as Matthew Stafford's top target in a crucial matchup within the NFC West. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Could miss Thursday's game
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:06 PM
Head coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions that Adams (hamstring) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Seahawks, though McVay "wouldn't rule (Adams) out quite yet," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Adams left Sunday's win over the Lions in the fourth quarter and didn't return after aggravating a hamstring injury. The veteran wide receiver was optimistic about his injury after the game, and while Adams appears to have avoided a significant injury, he'll be hard-pressed to recover on a short week in time to face the Seahawks on Thursday in a game with significant implications in the NFC West race. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Quickly returns after cramping
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 6:29 PM
Nacua (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Lions, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Nacua was briefly deemed questionable to return in the fourth quarter but retook the field on the team's next possession. He is working on a second consecutive performance with 167 or more receiving yards. |
|
Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Questionable due to cramps
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 6:18 PM
Nacua (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Nacua has been deemed questionable to return in the fourth quarter. He may not get a chance to add to his eight catches for 169 yards on 10 targets against Detroit. Nacua also rushed once for six yards before the cramping issue arose. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Hurts hamstring against Lions
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 6:10 PM
Adams (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Adams pulled up lame and fell down while running a deep route in the fourth quarter. He went to the locker room shortly afterward, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Adams presumably aggravated the hamstring injury that cut into his practice participation throughout the week and had the veteran wide receiver listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game. Prior to getting injured, Adams caught four of nine targets for 71 yards. |

Jarquez Hunter Jarquez Hunter Healthy scratch again Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:37 PM
Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's battle against the Lions, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Hunter hasn't played since Week 6, as he's firmly behind all of Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers in Los Angeles' RB pecking order. In the five games Hunter has participated in this season, he's played exclusively on special teams. |

Stetson Bennett Stetson Bennett Serving as emergency QB in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:34 PM
Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback Sunday against Detroit, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: This is a familiar role for Bennett, who has yet to make an appearance in a regular-season NFL game. He can enter Sunday's game only if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Active in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:15 PM
Atwell (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: The speedy wideout will be available to Matthew Stafford for the first time since Week 7 after overcoming a hamstring injury and being activated from injured reserve Saturday. Atwell has been a full participant in practice for each of the past two weeks, which should alleviate some concerns about his chances for re-injury. Atwell could walk back into a role of some significance as the No. 3 receiver Sunday considering the expected game environment against a potent Lions offense that figures to keep the pressure on Los Angeles throughout. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Active as expected Sunday
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:10 PM
Adams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Adams got in only a limited Friday practice during Week 15 prep, but Saturday reports indicated the veteran wideout was trending to play. With his availability for Sunday's marquee matchup now confirmed, Adams should be in line for his usual No. 2 receiver role that's afforded him 8.1 targets per game to date while facing an injury-decimated Lions secondary. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Still expected to suit up Sunday
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 10:22 PM
Adams (hamstring), who is officially questionable to face the Lions on Sunday, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week but logged a limited session Friday. Though he entered the weekend deemed questionable to suit up, coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Friday that the star wideout would be able to give it a go, and that looks like it will indeed be the case. Adams could be in for a big game against a Lions defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to wideouts this season. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Activated from IR
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 12:55 PM
The Rams activated Atwell (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Atwell is still listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Lions, but his activation from injured reserve indicates that he'll be available to return from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury. If he's cleared to play, Atwell will compete with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington for snaps at the WR3 spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). Prior to his extended absence, Atwell caught four passes (one nine targets) for 164 yards and one touchdown across six regular-season games. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Questionable, expected to play
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 1:40 PM
Adams (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, but he's expected to play, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams has been managing the same hamstring injury since September without ever missing a game, but there was perhaps some concern this week after he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. It sounds like the Rams may not share that concern, but they're still giving Adams an injury designation, which means his fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the situation this weekend, heading into a 4:25 p.m. kickoff Sunday. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Another missed practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 5:21 PM
Adams (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: So far during Week 15 prep, Adams sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and then was seen rehabbing his hamstring on the side one day later, ultimately going down as a non-participant for a second straight session. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but there's been no indication from coach Sean McVay that Adams is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Lions. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Continues to rehab hamstring
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 3:46 PM
Adams (hamstring) was spotted rehabbing on the side as the Rams warmed up for Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Adams didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering hamstring injury and may go down as a DNP for a second straight day, which ultimately will be revealed when the Rams post their second Week 15 practice report. He also dealt with the issue last week but suited up this past Sunday in Arizona, logging a season-low 43 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 29 yards. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Sits out walkthrough
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 4:47 PM
Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Coming off IR soon
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 4:46 PM
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from injured reserve this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Atwell is approaching the end of his 21-day window, which means he either needs to be activated to the roster or ruled out on IR for the rest of the season. The Rams plan to activate him, following two straight weeks of full participation in every practice. The decision not to activate Atwell earlier suggests he's unlikely to have a major role down the stretch. |

Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Fails to deliver in extended look
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 1:40 PM
Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 45-17 win against the Cardinals.
Analysis: The second-round rookie out of Oregon was on the field for a season-high 45 snaps on offense, nearly the same amount as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Parkinson paced the trio with three catches for 32 yards a touchdown, while Allen had a modest two catches for 21 yards. Ferguson only earned a single target from Matthew Stafford in the blowout, however, which he failed to bring in. This is the third game in a row that Ferguson has failed to secure a target, and the fourth straight in which the rookie has gone without a catch. Ferguson will try to get back on track against a depleted Lions defense in Week 15. |

Davis Allen Davis Allen Garners a pair of catches
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 1:24 PM
Allen secured both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Despite Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson all being on the field for nearly identical amounts of time, Parkinson has become the clear top target of the trio during Tyler Higbee's (ankle) absence. Parkinson's six-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was his fourth touchdown in his last five games, while Allen has managed just eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in that same span. It's unlikely to see Allen's numbers significantly spike any time soon, even with a depleted Lions defense up next in Week 15. |
