Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Returned to Sunday's game
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 8:30 PM
Whittington (chest) was cleared to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Whittington suffered a chest injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-27 loss to Seattle but was given the green light to return in the fourth quarter. The second-year pro played 19 snaps (three on offense, 16 on special teams) and returned five kickoffs for 116 yards. Whittington ended the 2025 regular season with 18 catches (on 25 targets) for 171 yards along with 434 yards on 17 kickoff returns across 17 games. |

Tyler Scott Tyler Scott Will be part of Rams' 90-man roster
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 7:03 PM
The Rams signed Scott to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Scott was cut by the Bears at the end of training camp and had practice-squad stints with the Colts and Seahawks before catching on with the Rams in late October. He didn't appear in a regular-season game in 2025, but he'll be able to participate in OTAs and minicamp with the Rams during the offseason and attempt to make a good impression on the coaching staff before the start of training camp in July. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Key drop in NFCCG loss
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:40 PM
Parkinson caught three of four targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Parkinson finished third on the team in receiving yards behind wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but the only pass that the tight end didn't catch will haunt him. Parkinson's drop came on a third down deep in Seattle territory in the fourth quarter with plenty of room to run in front of him. He likely would have scored the go-ahead touchdown had he caught the ball on the play, and while the Rams kept that drive going by converting on fourth down, they eventually turned the ball over on downs and lost by four. It was a sour note to cap an otherwise sweet season from Parkinson, who caught 43 of 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 regular-season appearances before adding eight catches for 152 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets spread across three playoff games. He has one year remaining on a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Leading rusher on nine attempts
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:22 PM
Corum took nine carries for 55 yards while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 31-27 playoff loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Corum finished Sunday's NFC Championship Game as his club's leading rusher after lead back Kyren Williams (10-39-0) struggled to gain traction on the ground. The 24-year-old Corum stood out at times this year while spelling the starter, finishing his sophomore campaign 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns while appearing in all 17 regular-season games for the Rams. Head coach Sean McVay figures to continue leaning on both of his talented young backs in 2026, with Williams beginning the year as the starter and preferred fantasy option. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Earns 4-89-1 line in NFCCG loss
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:07 PM
Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Adams finally looked healthy in the conference championship round after suffering an injury to his hamstring in Week 15 of the regular season. The 32-year-old superstar finished with a catch rate north of 50 percent for the first time in three starts this postseason, while also registering his first playoff score as a member of the Rams. Adams had a renaissance year with Los Angeles in 2025, finishing the regular season with 14 touchdown receptions in as many appearances, tying the second-highest mark of his storied 13-year career. The Rams' passing offense should have a similar makeup in 2026 with QB Matthew Stafford under center and Puka Nacua and Adams starring on the outside. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Catches TD in playoff loss
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 10:50 PM
Williams handled 10 carries for 39 yards while catching both of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Williams paced the Rams with 10 carries in the NFC Championship Game, but it was backup Blake Corum (9-55-0) who led the team in rushing yards Sunday. The 24-year-old Williams finished with the higher fantasy score after cashing in one of QB Matthew Stafford's three touchdown passes in defeat. Williams churned out another strong fantasy campaign as the Rams' starter in 2025 after amassing 1,533 total yards and 13 combined touchdowns in 17 regular-season appearances. The Notre Dame product remains under contract with the Rams through 2028, and the fact that he out-touched Corum in all three of Los Angeles' playoff contests bodes well for Williams retaining the lead back role in 2026. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Standout effort falls short
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 10:13 PM
Nacua corralled nine of 14 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown while gaining four yards on his only carry in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Nacua paced the Rams in targets, receptions and yards from scrimmage in an impressive individual effort that wasn't enough to lift his club past the NFC Championship Game in 2025. The fantasy stud overcame the complexity of incorporating another superstar wideout into the mix when Davante Adams signed with Los Angeles this past offseason. Nacua maintained his elite status while posting career bests in catches (129), touchdowns (11) and total yardage (1,820) across 16 regular-season appearances. The 2023 fifth-round pick has already surpassed all expectations through three seasons in the pros, and there is little reason to believe that Nacua can't continue to deliver both on the field and for fantasy managers in 2026. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Masterful performance in NFCCG loss
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 9:25 PM
Stafford completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 374 yards and three touchdowns while adding two carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: The veteran gunslinger walked into a harsh road environment against the league's stingiest defense in 2025 (17.2 points allowed/game) and twirled a statistical gem despite failing one game short of a Super Bowl appearance. The loss brings Stafford's MVP-caliber campaign to a close, where he finished three postseason contests averaging 312.0 passing yards with six touchdowns to one interception. Stafford was one of the top producers in fantasy this year after he amassed 4,707 passing yards and a career-high 46 touchdowns in 17 starts during the regular season. The 38-year-old blew past his draft value after a preseason back injury quelled expectations to start his 16th season in the pros. Stafford will run it back with the Rams in 2026 for the final year of his current deal with both of his superstar wide receivers (Puka Nacua and Davante Adams) in tow, so he should be one of the first signal-callers taken off the board in next year's drafts. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Exits NFCCG with chest injury
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 8:04 PM
Whittington (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's not clear when Whittington suffered the injury, but he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield should handle kickoff return duties for as long as Whittington is out of the game. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Not playing Sunday
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:18 PM
Atwell (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Atwell will be in street clothes while the Rams move forward with Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith and Mario Williams as their depth options at receiver behind starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. |

Jarquez Hunter Jarquez Hunter Inactive again Sunday
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:13 PM
Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Seattle, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hunter will take a seat for the second straight week after playing 13 snaps on special teams in the Rams' win over the Panthers in the wild-card round. Ronnie Rivers will serve as the team's No. 3 option at running back behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum versus the Seahawks. |

Nick Vannett Nick Vannett Healthy scratch for NFCCG
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:11 PM
Vannett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Vannett has played in each of the Rams' last seven games (including their two playoff contests). However, the veteran will be a healthy inactive for Sunday's playoff game while the Rams go with four active tight ends in Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Tallies 56 yards in OT win
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 3:26 PM
Parkinson secured three of seven targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Bears in the divisional round.
Analysis: Parkinson and Puka Nacua tied as team leaders in terms of receiving yards versus Chicago, in a contest that saw Matthew Stafford be held without a passing touchdown while struggling against cold weather conditions. In three of his last four appearances, Parkinson now has drawn exactly seven targets, though notable receiving opportunities were also allocated to fellow tight ends Terrance Ferguson (five targets) and Tyler Higbee (two targets) in the divisional round. Los Angeles' crowded TE corps remains difficult to predict for fantasy purposes, but Parkinson will remain the favorite to lead Rams tight ends in receiving during the NFC Championship Game against Seattle this coming Sunday. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Falls out of favor Sunday
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 11:25 PM
Corum rushed six times for 19 yards and did not receive a target in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Bears.
Analysis: Lead back Kyren Williams (21-87-2) stole the show on offense while Corum struggled to get off the ground in Sunday's playoff victory. Corum had registered double-digit carries in five of Los Angeles' previous six contests dating back to Week 14 of the regular season, so this unusual dip in usage may have been matchup related. Given recent trends, it wouldn't be surprising to see Corum resume splitting backfield work with Williams as the Rams prepare to face the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Struggles in divisional round
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 11:14 PM
Adams had two receptions on six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Bears in the divisional round.
Analysis: Adams suffered an injury scare on his first reception of the contest when he left the game briefly to be examined in the medical tent. The star wideout was able to return without issue and tacked on an additional catch before the Rams settled the playoff tilt in overtime. A bum hamstring cost the 32-year-old the final three games of the regular season, so it was a positive sign to see him finish the contest on the field with his teammates. Adams was active for one game against Seattle in Week 11 of the regular season, finishing that contest with one reception for a one-yard touchdown. Despite the miniscule sample size, if healthy, Adams should be treated as a top WR against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Held to 62 yards in OT win
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 10:24 PM
Nacua had five receptions on 10 targets for 56 yards while taking two carries for six yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime playoff win against Chicago.
Analysis: Nacua's 62 yards from scrimmage fell short of expectations in the divisional round given his recent string of hot play, and the fact that the playoff contest nearly went five quarters. The stud wideout will get another opportunity to post gaudy numbers in the NFC Championship Game against Seattle after the Rams narrowly survived Sunday's overtime thriller. Nacua is primed to go off against the division foe after registering a ridiculous 19-300-2 receiving line in two meetings against the Seahawks this regular season. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Carries offense in divisional round
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 10:13 PM
Williams rushed 21 times for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding four receptions on five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 playoff win over the Bears.
Analysis: Williams had been splitting backfield work nearly evenly with Blake Corum down the stretch this season, but that was not the case in Sunday's divisional round victory. The 24-year-old Williams dominated the backfield touches against Chicago, garnering 15 more carries than the next-highest teammate while cashing in multiple touchdowns for third time in 2025. Los Angeles' primary back had reached 20 carries just three times in the regular season, so it would make sense to see a more-balanced approach out of the backfield against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. Williams provides enough of a floor in fantasy whether or not he is sharing touches with Corum, which should make the former the preferred option in DFS formats against Seattle next Sunday. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Throws for over 250 yards in OT win
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 9:39 PM
Stafford completed 20 of 42 pass attempts for 258 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions while losing one yard on a kneel down in Sunday's 20-17 overtime playoff win against Chicago.
Analysis: Stafford overcame blistery conditions at Soldier Field and threw for over 250 yards for the seventh straight game while navigating his club to an overtime win over the Bears. The 37-year-old coughed up the ball in the snow twice, but neither fumble resulted in a turnover for Los Angeles. Stafford was held without a touchdown for the first time in 19 starts this season, but the MVP candidate played like one in clutch moments while letting the ground game and defense cook Sunday. The Rams will shift their focus to the Seahawks for the NFC Championship Game next Sunday, with the two clubs splitting their regular season series in 2025. Stafford threw for 587 yards and five touchdowns in those two games, which softens the prospects of having to face Seattle's dominant defense on the road. |

Stetson Bennett Stetson Bennett Operating as emergency QB
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 4:27 PM
Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Rams' emergency third quarterback in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Chicago, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Bennett will operate in his familiar role as the No. 3 QB for Los Angeles as the team looks to advance to the NFC Championship Game. The 28-year-old will only be able to enter the contest if both starter Matthew Stafford and backup Jimmy Garoppolo are sidelined. |
|
Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Inactive Sunday
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 4:20 PM
Atwell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bears, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.
Analysis: Atwell will take a seat after failing to record any stats while playing 15 offensive snaps in the team's wild-card win over the Panthers. The wide receiver had recorded just two catches on six targets for 28 yards over the Rams' final four regular-season contests and the first round of the postseason, so his absence won't carry much of an impact versus Chicago. |
