Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Third straight game without a catch
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 3:26 PM
Ferguson failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Colby Parkinson has taken on the role of top tight end for the Rams in the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle), and he again led the group of tight ends in all statistical categories, while Ferguson and Davis Allen (one target) were held without a catch. Until Ferguson shows consistent usage and more reliable targeting from Matthew Stafford, the second-round rookie remains difficult to trust in fantasy lineups with a divisional showdown in Arizona up next on the docket in Week 14. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Ankle feeling pretty good Monday
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 3:03 PM
Coach Sean McVay said Williams' ankle is feeling "pretty good" Monday after the running back briefly exited Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Williams was injured in the second quarter but started the first series of the second half and finished Week 13 with a 13-72-1 rushing line on 67 percent of the offensive snaps. Blake Corum rushed seven times for 81 yards and one touchdown on 33 percent of the snaps. If Williams would need to miss any time, Corum would be an immediate plug-and-play fantasy RB1 for next Sunday's game against the Cardinals. It sounds like Williams avoided any sort of serious injury. |

Davis Allen Davis Allen One catch in reduced role
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 3:01 PM
Allen secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: In the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle), Colby Parkinson has been the main benefactor, and on Sunday he once again led all Rams tight ends in snap count, targets, receptions and yards. Neither Allen nor Terrance Ferguson (two targets) were a factor on offense, and Parkinson looks to retain his role as the team's top tight end while Higbee is on injured reserve. The Cardinals are up next in a divisional showdown in Week 14, and Davis will continue to be touchdown dependent to be a fantasy contributor. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Held without a catch
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 2:50 PM
Whittington failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Sunday's game against Carolina marked the third time in the last five games that Whittington was held without a catch, a concerning trend made more troubling by a three-catch, 82-yard performance by Xavier Smith. Whittington actually played the least of the Rams' backup wide receiver corps, with both Smith and Konata Mumpfield logging 20 snaps to Whittington's 18. Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is trending towards a return for the Week 14 contest against the Cardinals after logging three full practices this week as well, which would push Whittington further down the depth chart. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Four receptions in loss
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 7:33 PM
Parkinson caught four of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Parkinson was able to secure multiple passes for the sixth game in a row, but he saw his streak of three contests with a score come to an end. The 26-year-old has now reeled in eight of nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks while operating as the team's No. 1 tight end with Tyler Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Career-best effort in Carolina
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:44 PM
Smith caught all three of his targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: The second-year wideout missed last week's game due to a concussion, but he returned to action with a bang, setting career highs in catches and yardage while leading the Rams in receiving yards. Most of the real estate was gained on a 51-yard connection with Matthew Stafford that helped set up a Blake Corum TD right before halftime. Smith's biggest impact this season prior to Sunday had come as a kick returner -- he has 274 kickoff-return yards and 142 punt-return yards through his first 10 games -- but he's making a case to move past Jordan Whittington into the No. 3 spot on the WR depth chart heading into a Week 14 tilt against the Cardinals. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Two more scores in Sunday's loss
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:37 PM
Adams caught four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Another week, another couple of red-zone TDs for the veteran wideout, who connected with Matthew Stafford for a four-yard score in the first quarter and a seven-yard strike in the second. Adams is up to a league-leading 14 touchdowns in 12 games in his first season with the Rams, the first time he's reached that mark since 2022, and his career high of 18 TDs from 2020 with the Packers is firmly in his sights. Adams will look to extend his current TD streak to six games in Week 14 against the Cardinals. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Six grabs in loss to Carolina
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:34 PM
Nacua caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Davante Adams was on the other end of both of Matthew Stafford's TD passes on the day, but Nacua led the Rams in catches and targets. Nacua has hauled in at least five passes in five straight games since returning from an ankle sprain in Week 9, racking up a 32-403-2 line on 42 targets over that stretch. The third-year wideout will look to keep rolling in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Cardinals. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Big day in Week 13 loss
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:29 PM
Corum carried the ball seven times for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: His TD came on a two-yard plunge right before halftime after Kyren Williams left the game to get his ankle checked out. Williams was back in the lineup to begin the second half and wound up with 72 rushing yards and a score of his own, and after the contest he indicated that he's not concerned about the ankle being a lingering issue. Even so, the Rams had already been increasing Corum's workload in recent weeks, so Williams' ankle might give them an excuse to move the backfield toward more of a 50-50 split in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Corum's 81 rushing yards were a season high, while his trip to the end zone was his first since Week 2. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Unconcerned by ankle issue
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:23 PM
Williams (ankle) finished Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers with 13 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target.
Analysis: The fourth-year back briefly left the game right before halftime to get his ankle checked out, but he was back in the lineup to begin the third quarter and scored a seven-yard TD in the fourth. Per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, Williams said after the game that he's not worried about the ankle being a further issue, and that scar tissue from a previous injury actually helped protect the joint when he got rolled up on. Despite his confidence, the Rams have been giving Blake Corum a significant share of the workload in recent weeks, and he turned seven carries into a team-high 81 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss. It wouldn't be a surprise if the backfield touches shifted toward a 50-50 split in a Week 14 tilt against the Cardinals. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Three turnovers in Week 13 loss
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:15 PM
Stafford completed 18 of 28 passes for two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: The veteran quarterbacks hit Davante Adams for two more red-zone TDs in the first half, but the Rams' passing game sputtered after halftime as the game slipped away. The picks were his first since Week 3, and it was the first time all season that Stafford had given the ball away more than once, but he did extend his streak of games with multiple touchdown passes to six, a stretch in which he's delivered a 20:2 TD:INT. Stafford will look to bounce back in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Cardinals. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Back in Sunday's contest
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:50 PM
Williams (ankle) returned to Sunday's game in Carolina, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams missed the second-to-last offensive play for the Rams in the first half to have his right ankle examined and was considered questionable to return after halftime, but he was back on the field for the team's first snap on offense of the second half. He'll look to build upon the seven carries for 39 yards that he had prior to his exit. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Hurts ankle in Week 13
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:41 PM
Williams exited Sunday's game at Carolina due to a right ankle injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: The Rams' medical staff examined Williams' right leg after his five-yard carry late in the first half before escorting him to the locker room. After halftime, the team deemed him questionable to return. Blake Corum is on hand to pace Los Angeles' backfield for as long as Williams is off the field. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Departs Sunday's game
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:20 PM
Williams went to the locker room Sunday at Carolina with an apparent leg injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Williams removed himself from the game with 2:34 remaining in the first half following a five-yard run, after which trainers were examining his right leg. The exact nature of the issue isn't known, but he had seven carries for 39 yards and didn't haul in either of his two targets before his exit. Blake Corum will take over the Rams backfield for as long as Williams is sidelined. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Not returning in Week 13
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:52 PM
Atwell (hamstring) wasn't activated off IR ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Carolina, Mike Masala of Rams Wire reports.
Analysis: Atwell was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and logged three full practices this week. Head coach Sean McVay expressed upon Atwell's return to practice that he expected the wideout to be activated for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, but that didn't end up happening by Saturday's deadline. Atwell will now look to make his return to game action next Sunday against Arizona. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Cleared of concussion
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 4:18 PM
Smith (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Smith was able to practice in full Friday, and he has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is set to suit up for Sunday's contest. The punt returner missed last Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers due to the concussion he suffered against the Seahawks in Week 11. The 28-year-old will look to add to his 142 punt return yards in Sunday's clash. |

Konata Mumpfield Konata Mumpfield Upgrades to full practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:24 PM
Mumpfield (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: The return to full participation is a great sign for Mumpfield, who had his most productive game of the season last Sunday night against the Buccaneers. If the wide receiver avoids a setback Friday he will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Practices in full again
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:00 PM
Atwell (hamstring), who officially remains on IR, was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Atwell has logged two straight full practices since having his 21-day window opened Wednesday. The expectation is that Los Angeles will activate Atwell to the 53-man roster from IR in time for him to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against Carolina. |

Konata Mumpfield Konata Mumpfield Limited by calf injury
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 8:52 PM
Mumpfield (calf) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Mumpfield had his most productive game of the season in Week 12, logging two receptions for 25 yards while playing 42 percent of offensive snaps. He was also apparently banged up in the process, leaving his status unclear for a Week 13 matchup against the Panthers. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Returns to full participation
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 8:48 PM
Smith (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Smith missed the Rams' Week 12 win over the Buccaneers after logging a pair of limited practices. His return to a full session Wednesday is positive, but it's unclear if he has cleared the league's concussion protocol -- a necessary step before he can return in Week 13 against the Panthers. |
