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. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Sent to IR
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 3:22 PM
The Rams placed Atwell (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Atwell missed Week 6 due to a hamstring injury and handled just 10 offensive snaps while playing through the issue Week 7. Now coming off Los Angeles' bye, it appears he suffered a setback of some sort. The undersized deep threat now will be forced to miss at least the next four games while on IR, making his first opportunity to retake the field Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Panthers in Week 13. On a positive note for the Rams, Puka Nacua (ankle) could be back in action Week 9. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Expected to practice Wednesday
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 12:58 PM
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Nacua (ankle) is expected to return to practice Wednesday, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Nacua appears on track to resume practicing for the first time since suffering a low left-ankle sprain Week 6 against the Ravens, lending optimism to the notion that he'll retake the field Sunday versus the Saints. Los Angeles is fresh off a Week 8 bye, which provided a crucial period for Nacua to rest up. While Nacua's status for Week 9 won't be made official until the team has had a chance to thoroughly monitor him in practice, the third-year wideout will be a must-start fantasy option as soon as he's cleared for game action, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he's expected to suit up against New Orleans. |

Davis Allen Davis Allen Records sixth one-catch game
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 5:19 PM
Allen secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 35-7 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Allen, if nothing else, has been a model of consistency through the 2025 campaign; he's recorded either one or two targets and one or two receptions in all seven games he's played in. After starting the year with touchdowns in the first two contests, however, Allen has failed to find pay dirt since. With a tepid 8-59-2 receiving line and Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee all sharing targets in a crowded tight end room, Allen seems likely to continue his meager production. He'll face off against the Saints in Week 9 after enjoying a bye in Week 8. |

Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Snares first NFL touchdown
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 5:05 PM
Ferguson secured one of three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The Oregon product showcased some of the talent that led to the Rams using a second-round pick on him in the fourth quarter, burning past safety Andrew Wingard and securing a fourth down pass from Matthew Stafford for a touchdown. Ferguson's usage has been ticking up over the last few weeks, and he played 34 snaps on offense Sunday, a season high. For now, the Rams are content in using all four of their tight ends in rotation, which caps the upside of the talented tight end at the moment. The Rams are on bye next week before taking on the Saints in Week 9. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Season-high three catches
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 4:41 PM
Parkinson secured all three targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-7 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The quartet of Rams' tight ends each played at least a third of the snaps on offense, with Parkinson leading the team in yardage, Terrance Ferguson snaring a touchdown, and Tyler Higbee (who notably played the least out of the group) earning six targets. Given the diversity in usage between the four tight ends, a breakthrough for fantasy purposes seems highly unlikely. Parkinson's 7-58-0 receiving line is just slightly below his typical standard over the past three seasons, and his next chance to add to that total will be in two weeks, as the Rams are on bye in Week 8. |

Konata Mumpfield Konata Mumpfield Notches first NFL touchdown
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 4:24 PM
Mumpfield secured his only target for five yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Mumpfield's maiden touchdown of his NFL career came when he burned past Jourdan Lewis and caught a five-yard dart from Matthew Stafford in the end zone. This was the first of Stafford's five touchdown passes, but despite the initial touchdown grab, Mumpfield wouldn't see another target on the day. The lack of targets isn't atypical, as this was just his second catch on the year. Despite a season-high 28 snaps on offense in the contest, Mumpfield is likely to revert to his light usage once Puka Nacua (ankle) returns from injury. The Rams are on bye in Week 8 before the Saints come to town in Week 9. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Season-high two catches
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 2:29 PM
Smith caught two of three targets for 15 yards, returned three punts for 17 yards and returned one kick for 32 yards during Sunday's 35-7 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Pressed into duty with Puka Nacua (ankle) out and Tutu Atwell limited to just a handful of snaps, the second-year pro tripled his catch total on the season with his pair of snags. Smith was also on the field for nearly half of the snaps on offense for the Rams, although he didn't manage to catch any of Matthew Stafford's five touchdown passes on the day. Smith will look to ride the momentum from his increased usage after the Rams' bye in Week 8, when the New Orleans Saints come to town in Week 9. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Makes pair of catches
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 1:48 PM
Whittington secured two of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The second-year pro actually led all Rams' wideouts in snaps played in the London contest, taking the field for 41 out of 70 snaps. Whittington wasn't able to do much with that usage, however, as Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson and Konata Mumpfield were the targets of Matthew Stafford's five passing touchdowns on the day, with Adams garnering three by himself. Whittington hasn't hit the next level in terms of production through seven games, with a meager 12-121-0 stat line as the Rams enter their bye week. He'll look to get back on track in Week 9 in a home contest against the Saints. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Gets little playing time in win
Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 1:38 PM
Atwell recorded ten snaps on offense during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars.
Analysis: For the third time this season, Atwell failed to record a catch. This could've been a product of precaution after injuring his hamstring last week as he missed the previous game, but with Puka Nacua (ankle) out for the contest, fantasy managers likely expected more production from the speedy wideout. Atwell sports a 4-164-1 receiving line through seven games, and after the Rams' bye in Week 8, he'll look to bounce back against the Saints in Week 9. |

Tyler Higbee Tyler Higbee Finishes second in targets Sunday
Sun, Oct 19, 2025, 1:13 PM
Higbee had three receptions on six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Higbee wound up finishing second in team targets behind WR Davante Adams due to Puka Nacua (ankle) sitting out the overseas contest in London. That's where the good news ends, as rookie TE Terrance Ferguson cashed in a 31-yard touchdown with his only reception Sunday. Higbee will carry a 13-121-1 receiving line into the Rams' upcoming bye week, numbers that should keep him off the fantasy radar when the team resumes play against the Saints on Nov. 2. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Gets extra work in blowout win
Sun, Oct 19, 2025, 1:06 PM
Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to the Week 7 outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Quiet day in blowout win
Sun, Oct 19, 2025, 12:55 PM
Williams took 12 carries for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 overseas win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Williams' managers suffered a casual stat line in Sunday's one-sided affair after the Rams' passing attack accounted for all five of the team's trips to the end zone in London. The veteran starter's even carry split with Blake Corum (12-37-0) can also be attributed to an unfavorable game script, with six of the backup's carries essentially coming in garbage time. Williams has been a reliable starter in fantasy in 2025, generating 638 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns through seven starts. A lack of scoring is the only thing holding the 24-year-old back from his first-round projections, as he is currently on pace to score 12 touchdowns after averaging 15.5 over his last two standout seasons. Williams will be looking to hit pay dirt when the Rams come out of the bye to face the Saints in Week 9. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Cashes in three TDs sans Nacua
Sun, Oct 19, 2025, 12:35 PM
Adams corralled five of eight targets for 35 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Adams had an efficient day at the office Sunday, converting over half of his receptions into touchdowns for the fans in London. The veteran superstar took full advantage of Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence, matching the three touchdowns Adams posted over his first six starts with Los Angeles in one fell swoop. The 32-year-old Adams has provided fantasy managers with a 31-431-6 receiving line in what is shaping up to be a renaissance season in 2025. With the Rams entering a bye in Week 8, there is a realistic possibility that Nacua returns from a low-ankle sprain against the Saints in Week 9. If that's the case, Adams' run as the Rams' WR1 will have lasted just one week, but he is still a must-start asset in fantasy even as the team's No. 2 option. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Sets international record Sunday
Sun, Oct 19, 2025, 12:19 PM
Stafford completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 182 yards and five touchdowns while gaining one yard on two carries in Sunday's 35-7 London win against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence likely created concerns for Stafford's managers heading into Sunday's overseas tilt against an up-and-coming Jacksonville defense. The veteran signal-caller proved that no Puka was no problem, hooking up with his other superstar, wideout Davante Adams, in the end zone thrice en route to a record-setting day. Stafford's five touchdown passes set a new single-game record for the NFL's International Series, which officially started back in 2007. The 37-year-old will enter the Rams' bye week completing 67 percent of his passes for 1,866 yards and 17 touchdowns to just two interceptions in seven starts for Los Angeles. |

Jarquez Hunter Jarquez Hunter Healthy inactive for London game
Sun, Oct 19, 2025, 7:14 AM
Hunter (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: After being inactive for the Rams' season-opening win over the Texans, Hunter had suited up for each of Los Angeles' subsequent five games, but the rookie running back had been used exclusively on special teams. At least for one week, Hunter appears to have lost out on that meager role, as practice-squad call-up Ronnie Rivers will be active as depth behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum in addition to taking on Hunter's responsibilities on special teams. |
