Davis Allen Davis Allen Season-high three catches
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 8:44 PM
Allen secured three of four targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 34-10 win against the Saints.
Analysis: Allen enjoyed a slight bump in playing time and used it to produce his first multi-catch game of the season. The quartet of Rams' tight ends continue to operate in a timeshare on offense, heavily capping any upside that could be had from any individual player. Without an injury or trade that would reduce the number of mouths to feed, it will be difficult to trust any tight end for the Rams for fantasy purposes. A divisional showdown against San Francisco is up next for Allen and the Rams in Week 10. |

Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Season-high 54 yards in win
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 8:27 PM
Ferguson secured two of three targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Analysis: Despite a light downtick in playing time from last week, Ferguson made another big impact on Sunday, catching a dart from Matthew Stafford and adding a few extra yards after catch for a 36-yard gain. Ferguson has proven to be a reliable target for explosive plays in the past few weeks, but his playing time hasn't been given a significant bump beyond starter Tyler Higbee and fellow backups Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. In fact, Ferguson was a distant fourth in snap counts to the other three tight ends, which caps his upside heading into a Week 10 showdown with divisional rival San Francisco. |

Konata Mumpfield Konata Mumpfield Fails to record a target
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 7:57 PM
Mumpfield played 30 snaps on offense during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Analysis: Despite another big day from Matthew Stafford (24-of-32 for 281 yards and four touchdowns), Tutu Atwell (hamstring) out and Puka Nacua (chest) missing a chunk of the second half, Mumpfield failed to keep the momentum from his first NFL touchdown in last week's contest rolling. Mumpfield could find himself with a bigger role if Nacua's injury persists into a Week 10 divisional showdown with the 49ers, with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington also vying for additional playing time behind Davante Adams. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Makes a pair of grabs
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 7:32 PM
Smith secured two of three targets for 12 yards and returned two punts for 11 yards during Sunday's 34-10 win against the Saints.
Analysis: With Tutu Atwell (hamstring) out and Puka Nacua (chest) leaving the contest early, Smith managed to record a nearly identical stat line to last week, albeit with only 13 snaps on offense, a significant decrease from last week. If Nacua were in line to miss any additional time with his injury, Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield would all be in line for additional work, with Smith likely to step into Atwell's role of field-stretching speedster for the Rams. A healthy Davante Adams will likely cap the fantasy fun to be had by the trio, however, with a divisional trip to San Francisco up next in Week 10. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Uninvolved in victory
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 7:20 PM
Whittington failed to record a target during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Analysis: Even with Puka Nacua (chest) missing a portion of the contest with injury and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) on IR, Whittington found himself blanked on the stat sheet for the first time since Week 1. Matthew Stafford once again had a monster game, with four more touchdowns and 281 yards through the air, so the volume for the receiving corps is there. If Nacua misses any time with his rib injury, Whittington would be a primary beneficiary, although he has yet to eclipse 42 yards receiving in a game and is still seeking his first touchdown on the season. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Getting rib checked out
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:01 PM
Head coach Sean McVay said that Nacua is scheduled to have a scan on the rib injury he sustained in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints, but the Rams remain "optimistic" that the wideout won't miss any time, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: McVay's comments essentially echo what he said following Sunday's win, when he suggested that Nacua could have returned to the contest after exiting in the third quarter but ultimately remained on the sideline for the rest of the game while the Rams were sitting on a comfortable lead. Nacua's scan appears to be precautionary in nature, though even if the results reveal nothing concerning, the star receiver's practice participation could still be affected leading up to next Sunday's game at San Francisco. |

Tyler Higbee Tyler Higbee Finds end zone early in win
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 10:39 PM
Higbee recorded three receptions on four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Higbee opened up the scoring for the Rams as he got wide open on a play-action fake for a one-yard score. He faded to the background of the offense thereafter, though he does have at least four targets in five of his last six games. Higbee is touchdown dependent, however, as he's been held below 30 yards in all but two contests on the campaign. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Benefits from blowout win
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 10:16 PM
Corum recorded 13 rushes for 58 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Corum logged a season-high 13 carries, 10 of which came in the second half while the Rams were up multiple scores. However, his longest rush came midway through the second quarter, when he ripped off a 21-yard rush off right end. Corum remains the clear backup to Kyren Williams, though his weekly volume is dependent on game script, making him difficult to trust as a starting fantasy option. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Another multi-touchdown effort
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 7:56 PM
Adams recorded five receptions on seven targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Adams made the most of his five receptions, turning in two catches of at least 20 yards while also finding the end zone twice. This marked his second consecutive game with multiple touchdowns and only the third time this season he's reached at least 60 receiving yards. While Adams has been reliant on finding the end zone to maintain his fantasy value, the Rams remain one of the more efficient passing offenses in the league with heavily concentrated targets. He could also be in for additional volume in Week 10 against the 49ers if Puka Nacua (chest) is forced to miss additional time. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Tops 100 yards against Saints
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 7:34 PM
Williams rushed the ball 25 times for 114 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Williams took advantage of a positive game script to log season-high marks in carries and yards, highlighted by his first time reaching 100 yards on the ground across eight contests. His longest rush of the day went for 15 yards, and he still has only one gain of at least 20 yards on 132 attempts for the campaign. Nevertheless, Williams had his most productive fantasy performance, which was helped by a touchdown plunge early in the fourth quarter. He should continue to serve as the Rams' lead back, though he remains reliant primarily on volume to turn in strong fantasy performances. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Barrage of touchdowns continues
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 7:19 PM
Stafford completed 24 of 32 passes for 281 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints. He also had four rushes for minus-4 yards.
Analysis: Stafford had an exceptional performance on limited volume, completing five passes of at least 20 yards -- including a 39-yard strike down the right sideline while beating double-coverage for a touchdown to Puka Nacua (chest). Stafford converted an additional three touchdowns, coming from four, three, and one yard away. Even though Stafford threw only nine passes in the second half due to game script, he managed to turn in his fourth game with at least 275 passing yards and has three or more touchdowns in four of his last five matchups. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Could have come back in
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 6:23 PM
Head coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints that Nacua suffered a rib injury but could have come back into the game, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Nacua caught seven of eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown prior to exiting in the third quarter with what was originally deemed a chest injury. The star wide receiver went inside with trainers but later returned to the sideline with his helmet on and seemed to be in good spirits. McVay said Nacua "got his ribs" but the team was simply exercising a cautious approach with the game well in hand. Nacua's practice participation will be worth monitoring prior to the Rams' Week 10 game against the 49ers, but McVay sounded optimistic regarding Nacua's availability moving forward. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Hurts chest Sunday
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 5:15 PM
Nacua sustained a chest injury during Sunday's game against the Saints, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Nacua took a jet sweep for three yards in the middle of the third quarter, and, as he was tackled, his chest took the brunt of the football hitting the ground. The Rams are running away with Sunday's contest, so the team may exercise caution and keep him on the sideline for the final quarter and change. Nacua had seven catches (on eight targets) for 95 yards and one touchdown and the sole rush at the time of his exit. |

Stetson Bennett Stetson Bennett Emergency QB3 for Week 9
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 1:58 PM
Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback against the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: As the emergency third quarterback, Bennett is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo leave due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Jarquez Hunter Jarquez Hunter Won't play against New Orleans
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 1:51 PM
Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Hunter will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive game as the Rams roll with a three-man backfield in Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and practice squad running back Ronnie Rivers. Hunter's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 9. |

Ronnie Rivers Ronnie Rivers Joins active roster
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 1:54 PM
The Rams elevated Rivers to their active roster Saturday.
Analysis: The Fresno State product was also elevated for the Rams' Week 7 win over the Jaguars, failing to record an offensive stat across 10 total snaps (nine on special teams, one on offense). Now back with the active roster, he's likely to contribute on special teams in Sunday's matchup against the Saints. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Return to action confirmed
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 1:20 PM
Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Friday that Nacua will return for Sunday's game against the Saints, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Nacua was injured Week 6 and will end up missing just one game with the help of a Week 8 bye. The Rams listed him as a limited practice participant Wednesday, before an upgrade to full participation Thursday answered lingering doubts about Nacua's Week 9 availability. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Full practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 5:43 PM
Nacua (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Nacua was limited in his return to practice Wednesday, despite looking like himself while running routes and making cuts, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. One day later, though, Nacua had no on-field restrictions, paving the way for his first appearance since he sustained a low left-ankle sprain Week 6 at Baltimore. He even told Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times after Thursday's session that he's "feeling good" and expects to play Sunday against the Saints. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Officially limited in return to practice
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 6:36 PM
Nacua (ankle) officially was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: After coach Sean McVay told Grosbard that Nacua would be limited in his return to practice Wednesday, the wide receiver was seen looking crisp while making cuts and running routes, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Nacua initially suffered a low left-ankle sprain Week 6 at Baltimore and then sat out a Week 7 matchup with the Jaguars in London, but with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he appears as if he'll miss just one game as a result of the injury. He'll have two more chances to get back to full before the Rams potentially clear him ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:39 PM
Rams coach Sean McVay said Nacua (ankle) will be limited in practice Wednesday , Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Nacua is back on the practice field for the first time since suffering a low left-ankle sprain versus Baltimore in Week 6. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Nacua is expected to return to the starting lineup Sunday versus New Orleans, but unless he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, the star wideout will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend. McVay confirmed Wednesday that barring any setbacks, Nacua is trending toward a return versus New Orleans, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. |
