Rams | Davante Adams headed to IR with ruptured hamstring, out 6-10 weeks Mon Oct 19, 05:00 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams will be placed on injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring and will miss six to 10 weeks, head coach Sean McVay said on Monday. Adams came up limping on a non-contact play in the final minute of Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. He had 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games, including over 300 yards and two touchdowns in the two games WR Puka Nacua missed with a core injury. The Rams' other options include WRs Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and rookie CJ Daniels.

Rams WR Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and will be out 6-10 weeks. Adams was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and did not return.
| Footballguys view: The injury comes amid a tough stretch for a team that many thought would run the table and win the Super Bowl entering the season. The Rams fell to 2-4 with Sunday's loss, their second straight. Losing Adams will undoubtedly make it that much more difficult for Stafford and the Rams' offense to turn things around after this rough start. Expect Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell to move up in the rotation behind Puka Nacua with Adams out. |

The 49ers elevated WR Malik Turner and LB Jalen Graham from the practice squad on Monday ahead of their game against the Commanders. San Francisco's five receivers will likely be Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing and Turner, a group that includes Evans, who is questionable with a rib injury. The five linebackers will likely be Fred Warner, Jaden Dugger, Luke Gifford, Tatum Bethune and Graham.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is "trending towards playing" in Monday night's game against the 49ers. Diggs is officially listed as questionable. He traveled with the team after being limited at practice on Friday.

The Patriots placed WR Romeo Doubs on injured reserve on Monday. Doubs suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's win over the Jets and was ruled out of the game. New England signed DB Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: A.J. Brown's return to the lineup mitigates this loss, but Doubs, who is WR36 overall through six weeks, has been a viable play for fantasy managers. His absence will allow DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III, and Kyle Williams to continue getting opportunities. Douglas, who was already taking advantage of Brown's absence, currently sits at WR34 on the season. |

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter expressed optimism on Monday about WR Rashod Bateman, who did not return to Sunday's game against the Browns with a shoulder injury. "I think he came out of it OK, even though we kind of came out of the game," Minter said. "But I think there's a little bit of optimism that he should be okay."
| Footballguys view: If Bateman can't make it back this week, Baltimore's wide receiver picking order would start with Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane, with Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester working behind them. |

Texans WR Tank Dell will play Sunday against the Giants, head coach DeMeco Ryans announced on Monday. It will be Dell's first game since the major leg injury he suffered in 2024.
| Footballguys view: Dell has been on injured reserve, recovering from a severe left-knee injury (dislocated kneecap and multiple torn ligaments) suffered in December 2024. The fact that he's made it this far in his recovery is remarkable. Hitting the field this weekend would add to that. Will he be fantasy-worthy? While he's rosterable, expecting him to have an immediate front-line role seems like a reach at the moment. That said, we'll be watching for more on the plan for Dell. |

Bills head coach Joe Brady said on Monday that "the hope and intent" is for WR DJ Moore (shoulder) to be back next week, following Buffalo's bye. Moore was inactive for Sunday's win over the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, outside of a stellar opener against the Texans in Week 1, we haven't really been able to see Moore fully unleashed in the Bills' offense. That's because the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 2 has almost certainly affected Moore's effectiveness (if not outright availability) ever since. Still, the Bills head into their bye sitting at 5-1. If resting Moore for two full weeks before the off week gets him closer to full health, it will have been worth it. |
DJ Moore player page
Colts WR Alec Pierce, who is eligible to come off injured reserve this week, will not practice, head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Pierce is still rehabbing after aggravating his surgically repaired left heel last month. He was in a walking boot in the press box on Sunday, and Steichen said he doesn't expect to see the wideout on the field any time soon. Fantasy investors should share in that expectation. Feel free to move on from Pierce if you haven't already at this point. |

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring), who is questionable for Monday night's game at the 49ers, was on the field Thursday and Friday for the team's install and walkthrough and traveled with the team to California, a sign the team believes he "has a shot to play."
| Footballguys view: Diggs and Terry McLaurin each have 11 receptions for first downs this season. If Diggs plays, it could be the first time in about a month that QB Jayden Daniels, McLaurin, Diggs and TE Chig Okonkwo are on the field together. A final answer is expected when inactives are announced at 6:45 PM ET. |

Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) made the trip to Paris ahead of New Orleans' Week 7 game against the Steelers, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is currently on injured reserve. The fact that he's making the trip suggests his recovery is going well. Remember, Tyson was previously described as "weeks away" from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target. We'll be watching for more. |

Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice on Monday. The hope is that he can ramp up his involvement as the week progresses.
| Footballguys view: Douglas was ruled out of the Week 5 game against the Bengals with an ankle injury. His seven catches rank third on the team. We'll monitor his progress in the coming days as the Dolphins ramp up preparation for Sunday's game against the Jets. |

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen addressed WR Brian Thomas Jr. not playing in the second half of Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans in London, saying, "Guys have to make plays."
| Footballguys view: CB/WR Travis Hunter had his most productive offensive day of the season, and his expanded role at wide receiver came at the expense of Thomas, who struggled, dropping two passes -- including one that would have given the Jaguars a chance to attempt a long field goal at the end of the first half. Thomas, who had an issue with drops last year, is currently WR91 overall with an average of 4.2 fantasy points per game. |

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught 6 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 13.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.4.

Rams WR Davante Adams pulled up in the back of the end zone on the Rams' final drive of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, reached for his left knee, and limped off the field.
| Footballguys view: He did not return, and further specifics of the injury are not yet known. Adams finished with three catches for 39 yards on four targets and has 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season. We'll be watching for more on Adams' status as the team begins preparing for a Week 7 game with the Raiders. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.2.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, somebody in the wide receiver room finally answered the bell. Tucker's 11-yard score tied the game at 23, and his diving 44-yard touchdown grab finished a 24-second drive. "I think he's faster than I realize he is, and there are times when I just need to launch, and he'll go get it," Kirk Cousins said when asked about his connection with Tucker. The Raiders play the Rams in Week 7. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught 1 pass for 17 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 8.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs with a concussion. He caught 1 pass for 17 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 22-6 loss.
| Footballguys view: It seems like it is always going to be something with McConkey and durability, which was the one real concern about his translation to the NFL when he was in the 2024 NFL draft class and was selected early in the second round by the Chargers. The Chargers have a bye next week, so hopefully he'll be back for Week 8 with a chance to find his form once the Chargers are through the rough Week 4-10 stretch the schedule makers put together for this beleaguered team. |

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game at the Chiefs. McConkey had been limited in practice on Wednesday with a foot injury but carried no injury designation for the game.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard caught 11 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.2.
| Footballguys view: Bernard had a massive PPR day and scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime with three of his teammates at the position out for this game. Bernard was a priority waiver-wire pickup last week and will be a strong WR3/Flex option against the Saints in Paris next week. |

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 12 passes for 165 yards on 15 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.
| Footballguys view: The good news is that Nabers put up a good chunk of this with J.J. McCarthy after Jameis Winston was benched. McCarthy wasn't able to get on the same page with Justin Jefferson last year, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with his newfound Southeast Louisiana pedigree No. 1 receiver with the Giants. |

Chiefs rookie WR Cyrus Allen was introduced before Sunday's game against the Chargers as one of the team's three starting wide receivers. WRs Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals were introduced as the other two starters.

Atlanta Falcons WR Jahan Dotson caught 3 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 5.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.2.
Link to storyJahan Dotson player page
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 7 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.1.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had two scores in a part-time role in Week 5, and he took on more work this week after Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury in the first quarter. He should be a clear add in fantasy leagues. He has the most dependable chemistry with Drake Maye of any of the healthy Patriots wide receivers after A.J. Brown looked very rusty in his return against the Jets. |
DeMario Douglas player page
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. caught 6 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 2.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.3.
| Footballguys view: Cooper scored a long touchdown against a busted coverage and still would have led the team in receiving yards and catches if you took that play away. Adonai Mitchell should be back soon from his finger injury, so you have to wonder how Garrett Wilson is going to deliver the WR2 value we expected when he was going in the third or fourth round with Cooper and Mitchell both looking like very viable targets that Geno Smith has good chemistry with. Cooper will be an add across formats with a good matchup against the Dolphins next week. |

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks has returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers after being injured in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Wicks was tripped up by a Panthers defender at the end of a catch-and-run in the fourth quarter, and he went down to the turf before going to the sideline. He finished the day with two catches (on four targets) for 24 yards. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston caught 1 pass for 15 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.0.
| Footballguys view: Jerry Jeudy has been a trade candidate, but he made the biggest play of the day for the Browns to set up the game-winning field goal. Jeudy led the team in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in receptions, which means this somewhat meager passing game is now going to be split four ways with KC Concepcion Jr. and Harold Fannin Jr. also figuring into the weekly game plan. The Browns are in first place, but there's not a reliable fantasy play on the roster. |
Denzel Boston player page
Browns WR Jerry Jeudy is viewed as a trade candidate, but Cleveland is not actively shopping him. Jeudy made a 33-yard catch on Sunday, an example of why the Browns are keeping him. Cleveland is atop the division, and Jeudy provides veteran WR experience.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith exited briefly early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but was able to return.
| Footballguys view: While Smith, who missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, returned, Pro Football Focus notes he didn't see his normal slate of snaps. He posted a 71% route participation rate, often getting rotated out in 12 personnel, but also mixing out of 11 personnel more than usual. Still, Smith led the team with seven catches for 75 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown from Tanner McKee. His 20.5 fantasy points ranked eighth at the position through Sunday's late-afternoon games. |

Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. The Giants are down to three wide receivers, and WR Charlie Jones is "getting a lot of snaps" with Mooney sidelined.
| Footballguys view: Mooney had been limited in practice on Wednesday with the neck injury. He finished the day with one carry for 20 yards and no catches on two targets. We'll be watching for more on his status in coming days. The Giants play the Texans in Week 7. |

Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate was down momentarily after being slammed to the ground during Sunday's game against the Colts. Tate has since returned to the game. He finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and also drew a big pass interference penalty to set up the game-winning field goal.
| Footballguys view: Tate has looked like a No. 1 receiver in two of the last three games with fantasy numbers to match. Even though the Titans offense has been one of the worst in the league and Cam Ward isn't improving at quarterback, Tate has the demonstrated upside to stay in lineups as a WR3/Flex despite a tough matchup against Denzel Ward and the Browns next week. |

Browns WR KC Concepcion gingerly jogged off the field after taking a big hit from Ravens S Kyle Hamilton on a screen pass during Sunday's game against Baltimore. The Ravens are sitting on everything short from the Browns offense. Concepcion had cleared the concussion protocol on Friday to play in Sunday's game.

Bills WR DJ Moore will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, missing his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Moore is "getting closer but needs a little more time." With the Bills on a Week 7 bye, the hope is he will be closer to 100% coming out of it. TE Dalton Kincaid, WR Keon Coleman and WR Khalil Shakir will be in the spotlight as Buffalo's receiving trio on Sunday.

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jets with a shoulder injury. Doubs was hurt in the first quarter and had been listed as questionable to return. Patriots OL Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) was also ruled out.

Bills WR Joshua Palmer (shoulder), listed as questionable, was going through pregame warmups on Sunday ahead of the game at the Raiders, so it "looks like he'll be back this week." Palmer missed last week's game. WR DJ Moore (shoulder) was not taking reps during warmups for a second straight week, and it is "looking extremely possible" he sits again.
Link to storyJoshua Palmer player page
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) was not doing much during pregame warmups on Sunday ahead of the Week 6 game at the Raiders, the second straight week that has been the case. Moore had no gloves on and his hood up while the rest of Buffalo's receivers ran routes against air, and he took no reps. It is "looking extremely possible" that Moore misses another game. He is officially questionable with a shoulder injury.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Baltimore's remaining receivers are Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker, and LaJohntay Wester.
| Footballguys view: Ja'Kobi Lane becomes the No. 2 receiver and is worth a pickup with Lamar Jackson due to return soon -- possibly even next week against the Bengals, now that the Ravens have lost a divisional game today. |

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns with a shoulder injury. Bateman dealt with the shoulder injury all week and wore a red noncontact jersey for a couple of days in practice.

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets with 4:10 left. He is questionable to return (shoulder).
| Footballguys view: At least he injured the shoulder on a 42-yard touchdown. Just as the Patriots got A.J. Brown back, it looks like they may lose Doubs for at least the Thursday night game against the Bears coming up in Week 7. |

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith appears to be on "some sort of pitch count" in Sunday's game against the Panthers. Smith said on Friday that he hurt his hamstring in the Titans game, then played hurt in Chicago in Week 3 before shutting it down for two weeks.

Browns WR KC Concepcion Jr. was on the field for Cleveland's first punt return attempt of Sunday's game against the Ravens. Concepcion cleared the concussion protocol on Friday after the Browns had said they were preparing as if he would not be available on punt returns.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud mentioned "getting Tank back as well" when discussing his receiving corps on Sunday. WR Tank Dell is in the final week of his window to be activated after being designated for return.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud said on Sunday that WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will see more touches going forward after making his Texans debut in the Week 6 win over the Jaguars. "It felt like old times. I thought he looked great. We'll get him more touches going forward," Stroud said. Harrison was expected to play 15-20 snaps in his debut and was not on a full workload.
| Footballguys view: Harrison should be added in leagues where he was dropped and bench size allows. C.J. Stroud may not be able to support Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaylin Noel (who caught all four of his targets for more than 100 yards and a score today) in addition to Nico Collins, but we can see that both Harrison and Noel will have a high weekly ceiling with defenses focused on Collins and the Texans struggling to establish the run. |
