Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Fails to deliver in extended look
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 1:40 PM
Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 45-17 win against the Cardinals.
Analysis: The second-round rookie out of Oregon was on the field for a season-high 45 snaps on offense, nearly the same amount as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Parkinson paced the trio with three catches for 32 yards a touchdown, while Allen had a modest two catches for 21 yards. Ferguson only earned a single target from Matthew Stafford in the blowout, however, which he failed to bring in. This is the third week in a row that Ferguson has failed to secure a target, and the fourth week in a row the rookie has went without a catch. Ferguson will try to get back on track against a depleted Lions defense in Week 15. |

Davis Allen Davis Allen Garners a pair of catches
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 1:24 PM
Allen secured both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Despite Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson all being on the field for nearly identical amounts of time, Parkinson has become the clear number one target of the trio during Tyler Higbee's (ankle) absence. Parkinson's six-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was his fourth touchdown in his last five games, while Allen has managed just eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in that same span. It's unlikely to see Allen's numbers significantly spike any time soon, even with a depleted Lions defense up next in Week 14. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Makes one small grab
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 1:03 PM
Whittington secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.
Analysis: The trio of Rams' backup wideouts combined for just 16 yards on their three targets, which pales in comparison to the 17 targets that starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams earned, which translated to 11 catches for 196 yards and a pair of Nacua touchdown catches. Matthew Stafford continues to keep his focus heavily weighted towards the duo, generally leaving little to no opportunities for the other wideouts on the team. Xavier Smith's 82-yard performance from last week now seems more like an outlier than a true breakout, leaving Whittington, Smith and Konata Mumpfield hard to trust for fantasy purposes against a Lions squad fighting for a playoff spot in Week 15. |

Xavier Smith Xavier Smith Limited usage in blowout win
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 12:51 PM
Smith secured his only target for six yards and returned three punts for 46 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.
Analysis: A week removed from a career-high 82 yard performance against the Panthers, Smith regressed back to his typical stat line against the Cardinals. Smith took the field for just 21 snaps on offense, which was still a fair amount more than fellow backup Jordan Whittington's 12. Konata Mumpfield did get an extended look with 32 snaps on offense, but none of the trio of backups managed to earn more than a single target and combined for just 16 yards receiving, leaving them difficult to trust in fantasy playoff lineups with a high-stakes showdown against the Lions up next in Week 15. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Another inflated stat in Week 14
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:56 PM
Corum went off for 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Analysis: Corum was able to take advantage of starter Kyren Williams' brief absence in Week 13 in order to elevate his game in the loss to the Panthers. The talented backup benefited from a favorable game script Sunday that afforded him the opportunity to pad his stats in garbage time of the blowout win over the Cardinals. That said, Corum did score the first of his two touchdowns when the game was closer in the first half. The Michigan product has carved out a nice role behind Williams this season, but it would be stunning if Corum could maintain this level of production as the change-of-pace option against the Lions next Sunday. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Scores eighth rushing TD Sunday
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:43 PM
Williams took 13 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Analysis: Williams entered Sunday's contest with no injury designation and was not limited by the minor ankle injury he picked up in last week's loss to Carolina. The 24-year-old starter cashed in his eighth rushing touchdown of the season and 11th overall through 13 contests. Blake Corum's 12-128-2 rushing line will stand out in the box score, but it is worth noting that a significant portion of the backup's production game in garbage time of the blowout victory. Williams remains the 1A in Los Angeles' backfield as the team prepares to host the Lions in Week 15. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Takes back seat to Nacua
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 8:47 PM
Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Analysis: Adams suffered his worst fantasy output of the season in Week 14 as the Cardinals keyed in defensively on the touchdown machine. The 32-year-old's scoring streak of six games (featuring 11 touchdowns) finally came to end after QB Matthew Stafford spread the wealth to Los Angeles' other receiving options Sunday. Co-starter Puka Nacua shined with a 7-167-2 receiving line, leaving little work for Adams in the second half of the lopsided blowout. Adams will look to get back to his scoring ways when the Rams host the Lions for a potential offensive showdown in Week 15. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Catches TD in Week 14 win
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 8:32 PM
Parkinson reeled in three of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 45-17 victory against Arizona.
Analysis: Parkinson finished third among Los Angeles pass catchers in targets and trailed only Puka Nacua, who dominated with a 7-167-2 line, in receiving yardage. Since Tyler Higbee (ankle) landed on IR ahead of Week 12, Parkinson has emerged as the Rams' top tight end with 11 catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns over three games. Pushing that out further, Parkinson has tallied four scores over his past five contests, making him an intriguing -- though somewhat TD-dependent -- fantasy option at a relatively shallow position. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Biggest fantasy output of 2025
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 7:39 PM
Nacua finished with seven receptions on 11 targets for 167 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 blowout win over Arizona.
Analysis: Nacua absolutely went off against the Cardinals' secondary Sunday, averaging a whopping 23.9 yards per reception in the one-sided victory. The BYU product fell just short of the high-water mark of 170 yards he posted back in Week 4, but he still finished with his highest fantasy score to date in 2025 after producing his first multi-score game of the season. Nacua had taken a backseat to co-star WR Davante Adams (4-29-0) at times, but the inverse was true in Week 14. The 24-year-old Nacua just matched his previous career high of six touchdown receptions from his standout rookie campaign, and he currently sits seven catches shy of a second 100-reception season. Fantasy managers should continue to roll out Nacua with confidence for next Sunday's potential shootout against the Lions. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Rights ship quickly in blowout win
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 7:25 PM
Stafford completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 281 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Analysis: Stafford wasted no time getting back to his MVP-bid form after uncharacteristically committing three turnovers in last week's surprising loss to Carolina. The 37-year-old extended his streak of throwing multiple touchdown passes to seven games while making an example of Arizona's secondary. With 35 touchdowns thrown through 13 weeks, Stafford has nearly built a double-digit margin between himself and Dak Prescott/Jared Goff (26) for the league lead in the category. The fantasy star is already producing at a such high level as the playoff schedule approaches, but Stafford may find added motivation playing against the club that drafted him back in 2009 when the Rams host the Lions next Sunday. |

Stetson Bennett Stetson Bennett Operating as emergency QB
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 2:22 PM
Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the team's emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bennett will operate in his typical role as the team's No. 3 quarterback in Week 14. He'll only be able to enter the contest if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo are sidelined with injuries. |

Jarquez Hunter Jarquez Hunter Unavailable for Week 14
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 2:19 PM
Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with Arizona, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hunter will once again be a healthy scratch in Week 14, marking the seventh consecutive contest in which that is the case. Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers will handle the backfield duties against the Cardinals. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Remaining on IR for Week 14
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 6:15 PM
The Rams did not activate Atwell (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Atwell logged a trio of full practices this week, as he did last week after his practice window was opened Nov. 26. However, Los Angeles has decided to keep the wideout stashed on IR, possibly because the team isn't prepared to clear an active roster spot for him. The Rams have until Dec. 17 to activate Atwell if they want him to be eligible to play again this season. For the time being at least, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield will work as the club's depth wide receivers behind the heavily targeted Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Avoids injury designation
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 3:31 PM
Williams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He suffered the ankle injury during last week's loss to the Panthers, which led to Blake Corum scoring a TD late in the second quarter. Williams returned after halftime and got most of the snaps/touches down the stretch, appearing no worse for the wear. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Cleared to play
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 3:29 PM
Adams (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Adams never seemed in serious danger of missing the game and should be ready for his usual workload after logging a full practice Friday. He's seen at least five targets and 35 snaps in every appearance this season, scoring 14 TDs in 12 games along the way. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Expected to play
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 1:35 PM
Adams (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday at Arizona, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Rams list Adams on their final injury report. His return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests Adams is on track to play. He played through hamstring, back and oblique injuries earlier this season, without ever missing a game or finishing with fewer than five targets or 35 snaps. He's also scored touchdowns in nine of 12 games, including each of the last six (with multiple TDs in four of those). |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Unlikely to come off IR this week
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 1:12 PM
Atwell (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Arizona, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Atwell has been a full practice participant for the past two weeks, so this may be the equivalent of a healthy scratch. He can practice for another week without coming off injured reserve, but the Rams will need to activate him by mid-December if he's going to play again this season. Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield have all seen playing time behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in recent weeks. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Another limited session
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:20 PM
Williams (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams maintained his activity level from one day prior as he tends to the ankle injury that forced him to miss a brief spell of this past Sunday's loss at Carolina. Coach Sean McVay noted Wednesday that Williams was among a group of injured Rams that he expected to suit up Sunday in Arizona, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. Friday's practice report thus may clear Williams outright for Week 14 action. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Limited in practice Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:14 PM
Adams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: When coach Sean McVay announced Wednesday that Adams wouldn't practice to begin Week 14 prep, he added that the veteran wide receiver was among a group of banged-up Rams that are expected to be available Sunday at Arizona. Adams then told Nate Atkins of The Athletic on Thursday that his left hamstring issue happened early this past Sunday at Carolina, a contest in which he hauled in four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Adams has a designation going into the weekend. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Another full practice
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 6:54 PM
Atwell (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Atwell now has been listed as full on four consecutive injury reports, but coach Sean McVay wouldn't commit Wednesday to the Rams activating the fifth-year pro from injured reserve, citing a numbers game, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. Fortunately for the Rams, they have exactly two more weeks to make such a decision. |
