Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Expected to play Week 13
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 11:22 AM
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Atwell (hamstring) will have his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Atwell will return from IR when first eligible, as McVay had previously hinted. He hasn't played since Week 7 while recovering from a hamstring issue. Even if Atwell plays on something of a snap count in his first return to action, he figures to be capable of handling his usual ancillary role behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in Los Angeles' wide receiver corps. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Extends TD streak to three games
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:17 PM
Parkinson reeled in all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Parkinson stayed hot in fantasy with his third trip to the end zone in as many weeks. It is worth noting that those three scores represent all of the tight end's touchdowns in nine appearances this season. The 26-year-old is averaging 1.5 receptions for 11.3 yards in his other six starts, highlighting the risk of trusting Parkinson to repeat his recent scoring binge moving forward. That said, Parkinson's hot streak at least puts him on the map as fantasy option in deeper formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Panthers. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Lowest rushing total this season
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:10 PM
Williams took 12 carries for 46 yards while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 34-7 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Williams finished with his lowest fantasy score of the season in a contest the Rams led comfortably from wire to wire. Los Angeles' ground game was marginalized as Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams systematically dismantled Tampa Bay's defense through the air. Williams still finished as his team's leading rusher after Blake Corum was held to 24 yards on seven carries in the primetime win. The 24-year-old Williams has provided steady production for fantasy managers with 980 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns through 11 starts in 2025. Williams will attempt to bounce back from Sunday's down game when the Rams visit the Panthers in Week 13. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Posts 27th multi-TD game of career
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:52 PM
Adams finished with five receptions on eight targets for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 34-7 blowout win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Adams suffered a couple of uncharacteristic drops on Sunday Night Football, but fantasy managers can look past that fact after he converted a pair of successful touchdown grabs in the win. It was the 27th time over the course of the superstar's illustrious career that he has scored multiple touchdowns in a single game, good for seventh all-time among receivers in league history. The 32-year-old has now scored in five consecutive appearances, producing multiple trips to the end zone in three out of those five outings. The NFL's league leader in receiving touchdowns (12) will look to add to the gap between he and Amon-Ra St. Brown (eight) when Adams and the Rams visit the Panthers next Sunday. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Back to dominant ways on SNF
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:42 PM
Stafford completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 273 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Stafford got back to his league-dominating ways after posting pedestrian passing numbers (by his lofty standards) in a win over the Seahawks last Sunday. The 37-year-old dissected Tampa Bay's 26th-ranked pass defense, ending Sunday Night Football with his sixth game throwing three or more touchdowns with no interceptions in 11 starts this season. Stafford is playing some of the best football of his career in his 16th season, throwing for 2,830 yards with an immaculate 15.0 TD:INT as the Rams prepare to visit the Panthers next Sunday. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Leading receiver in blowout win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:33 PM
Nacua corralled seven of 11 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Nacua finished the one-sided affair as the Rams' leading receiver on a team-high 11 targets, but he took a back seat to teammate Davante Adams in the scoring department after the latter cashed in a pair of Matthew Stafford's three touchdown strikes on Sunday Night Football. The 24-year-old Nacua has seen his elite production dip ever so slightly since Los Angeles' Week 8 bye after failing to crack 100 yards from scrimmage in all four appearances over that span. To put things into perspective, the BYU product had accomplished that feat four times in the six games predating the bye. Nacua is still on track to have an elite fantasy campaign, as he currently sits just 53 yards shy of a 1,000-yard receiving season in just 10 games played. |

Jarquez Hunter Jarquez Hunter Inactive Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 6:15 PM
Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Hunter has logged just 22 special-teams snaps across five rookie-season appearances. He's firmly behind Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers on the backfield depth chart. |
|
Stetson Bennett Stetson Bennett Emergency QB3 for SNF
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 6:13 PM
Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bucs but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.
Analysis: Bennett will only see the field if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo suffer injuries. Bennett has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL contest through three seasons. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Inactive against Tampa Bay
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 6:11 PM
Smith (concussion) is inactive for Sunday night's game versus Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Smith was concussed last Sunday against the Seahawks and will miss this one against the Bucs, allowing Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield opportunities to play more snaps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Across 10 games this season, Smith has a 7-85-0 receiving line on 10 targets. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Questionable for SNF
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 8:44 PM
Smith (concussion) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Bucs, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith was concussed in last Sunday's win over the Seahawks but was able to log a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday. However, Smith is still in the protocol. If Smith is unable to play Sunday night, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield would be next up for wideout snaps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell May return next week
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 1:45 PM
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Atwell (hamstring) may return for Week 13 against the Panthers (Sunday, Nov. 30), Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: That's when Atwell is first eligible to return from injured reserve. Once available, he'll likely occupy a part-time role in an offense where Puka Nacua and Davante Adams reliably account for nearly all of the WR targets. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Back at practice
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 7:29 PM
Smith (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Smith sustained a concussion in the team's 21-19 win over the Seahawks in Week 11, and he was able to return to practice after missing Wednesday's session. The wide receiver will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers, and Thursday's participation was a step in the right direction. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 9:49 PM
Smith (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Smith entered the league's concussion protocol during the Rams' Week 11 win over the Seahawks. Even if he returns to practice this week, he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Smith has mostly served on special teams as a returner this season, though he has recorded six catches (on nine targets) for 49 yards over his last four games. |

Tyler Higbee Tyler Higbee Headed to IR
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 4:22 PM
The Rams are placing Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Higbee will miss at least four games, with his earliest possible date for a return being Thursday, Dec. 18, at Seattle (Week 16). His absence should lead to more playing time for the other members of the Rams' TE committee, namely Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson, though Davis Allen could take on some extra snaps as well. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Little impact in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:20 PM
Whittington secured his only target for nine yards and returned two kicks for 48 yards during Sunday's 21-19 victory against the Seahawks.
Analysis: The second-year pro saw the field often with Tutu Atwell (hamstring) still on IR and Xavier Smith (concussion) leaving the contest in the first half. The additional playing time didn't amount to anything significant on the stat sheet, although his lone catch was his first since Week 7. With the Buccaneers up next in Week 12, Whittington may be pressed into a bigger role if Smith is unable to clear the concussion protocol, as Atwell won't be available to return until the following week against the Panthers at the earliest. The offense still primarily runs through Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (16 targets out of 25 passing attempts) however, making it difficult to trust Whittington in fantasy lineups. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Catches late TD in win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:15 PM
Parkinson caught both of his targets for 14 yards and one touchdown in the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: With Tyler Higbee exiting early with an ankle injury, Parkinson saw an elevated role late in the contest and ended up catching what proved to be the game-winning six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Parkinson has now secured 15 of 17 targets this season for 123 yards and two touchdowns. If Higbee needs to miss Week 12 against the Bucs, Parkinson could once again see more playing time on offense. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Turns nine touches into five yards
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:48 PM
Corum rushed eight times for 10 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Corum has recorded at least nine touches in each of the past four games, but he isn't a threat to Kyren Williams' spot atop the running back depth chart. Williams mustered 96 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and two targets Sunday. Corum will likely continue to fill a change-of-pace role in Week 12 against the Buccaneers. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Scores on lone Week 11 catch
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:46 PM
Adams (oblique) caught one of eight targets for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Adams suited up after getting banged up in the fourth quarter of the Rams' previous game, and he secured his league-leading 10th touchdown catch on a one-yard pass in the first quarter against the Seahawks. That was his only reception of the game as Matthew Stafford threw for just 130 yards. The veteran wide receiver's chemistry with Stafford in goal-line situations has been on full display during Adams' four-game, seven-touchdown streak. Adams will try to extend his scoring streak in Week 12 against a Buccaneers defense that just allowed 44 points to the Bills. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Hot start in Week 11 win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:45 PM
Williams rushed 12 times for 91 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Most of Williams' production came in the first quarter, as he had a two-yard rushing touchdown sandwiched between runs of 30 and 34 yards. He was significantly more effective on a per-touch basis than Blake Corum, who turned nine touches into just five scrimmage yards. Corum has siphoned off 11.5 carries per game in the last four, but Williams remains the lead back in an excellent Rams offense, keeping Williams' fantasy value high heading into a Week 12 home game against the Buccaneers. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Modest numbers in Week 11 win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 6:43 PM
Stafford completed 15 of 28 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Stafford's yardage total dipped as both pass defenses stepped up in the battle for first place in the NFC West, but he avoided mistakes and improved his TD:INT to 22:0 over the past seven starts, while the Rams picked off Sam Darnold four times. Stafford threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams in the first quarter and a six-yard touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson in the fourth quarter. The Rams will likely lean more on Stafford's arm in Week 12 against a beatable Buccaneers secondary that just allowed six total touchdowns to fellow potential MVP candidate Josh Allen. |
