Rams | Ronnie Rivers back on practice squad Mon Nov 3, 05:54 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Ronnie Rivers reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Nov. 3, after being on the active roster for the Week 9 game.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (rib) is scheduled to undergo a scan on the rib injury he suffered during the Week 9 game, but head coach Sean McVay said he is optimistic about Nacua's availability.
| Footballguys view: Despite not finishing the game, Nacua continued his elite-level season in Week 9, catching seven of eight targets for 95 yards and one touchdown before leaving. He's now ranked third in all of the NFL in receiving yards (711), behind the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba (948) and the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase (831). Even with a missed game and a bye week, Nacua ranks fourth in total fantasy points at his position. His 21.3-point per game average leads all wideouts. We'll monitor his progress as the Week 10 meeting with the Niners draws nearer. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 24-of-32 passes for 281 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, while running four times for minus-4 yards.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Stafford got whatever he wanted against the New Orleans defense, playing point guard with aplomb. Seven players had at least two catches and double-digit yards. Although he left early with a minor chest issue, Puka Nacua's return helped open up the offense. Whether it was short tosses to his tight ends or deep shots to Davante Adams, Stafford was on his game from the start. With Stafford and Adams vibing, the Rams' red zone offense can be deadly. Add a smothering defense and an offense in a groove, the 6-2 Rams are a force in the NFC. |

Link to storyMatthew Stafford threw for 281 yards and hit Davante Adams, who caught five passes for 60 yards, with two of his four touchdown passes in the Rams' 34-10 victory Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Stafford's rapport with Adams is heating up after some fits and starts early in the season. The star wideout is once again a weapon in the red zone. Adams caught a 3-yard slant for his seventh TD of the season on the Rams' third drive, and he added another short scoring grab on the first drive after halftime. Adams' two TD catches gave him 111 in his career, pulling him even with Tony Gonzalez for eighth in league history. |

Rams receiver Puka Nacua exited Sunday's contest due to injury but should be OK going forward. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters in his postgame press conference that he thinks Nacua is going to be good.
| Footballguys view: "He got his ribs," McVay said. "He could've come back in the game, but we kind of had command, felt like it was the smart thing [to rest him]." Nacua exited the contest in the third quarter after converting on fourth-and-1 with a jet sweep. He finished the game with seven catches for 95 yards with a 39-yard touchdown. He also had the one 3-yard carry. Nacua and the Rams will play the division-rival 49ers on the road in Week 10. |

Los Angeles Rams practice squad RB Ronnie Rivers was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 1, and will be available for the Week 9 game.
Link to storyConfirming a previous report, Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (ankle) will play in Week 9's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Nacua said he feels 'fantastic' earlier this week, so he's back after a one-game absence (and a bye week). Against a hapless Saints team, the Rams should roll and Nacua could end up as the top fantasy receiver of the week. Anytime he plays, Nacua is a must-start as a WR1. |

Los Angeles Rams CB Darious Williams (shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 31, but is listed as doubtful for Week 9. TE Tyler Higbee (non-injury), LB Byron Young (non-injury) and OT Alaric Jackson (non-injury) did not participate in practice but are not on the injury report.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Nacua missed a few weeks with an ankle injury, but was the top-scoring fantasy receiver going into the matchup he left early. Coming off a bye and practicing in full, there's no reason not to expect Nacua to return to form as his dominant self. We've got him ranked as a top-three receiver this week. |

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of a hamstring injury.
Link to storyTutu Atwell player page
The Rams expect to have Puka Nacua back in the lineup for Week 9, but they will be missing another member of their wide receiving corps. The team placed Tutu Atwell on injured reserve on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Atwell missed Week 6 with a hamstring injury, and he played 10 snaps in his Week 7 return to the lineup. He had four catches for 164 yards in his six appearances this season. One of those catches went for an 88-yard touchdown in the Rams' Week 4 victory over the Colts. Atwell signed a one-year, $10 million contract to remain with the Rams in the offseason so that he will be set for free agency in 2026. As PFT notes, Nacua, Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith are the remaining receivers for the Rams. |

The Rams are going to get their top offensive weapon back this week as they return to action from their bye. Via multiple reporters, head coach Sean McVay said in his Monday news conference that receiver Puka Nacua is set to practice on Wednesday and is expected to play on Sunday against the Saints in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Nacua missed the club's Week 7 victory over the Jaguars in London with an ankle injury. With a Week 8 bye, Nacua is now set to miss just one game. In six games this season, Nacua has caught 54 passes for 616 yards with two touchdowns. A league-leading 33 of his receptions have resulted in first downs. We'll continue to watch for more, but this initial reporting falls into line with what we heard last week. |

Tennessee Titans CB Roger McCreary was acquired by the Los Angeles Rams Monday, Oct. 27, in exchange for a conditional 2026 fifth-round draft choice. The Rams will also receive a conditional 20206 sixth-round draft choice.
| Footballguys view: McCreary, a second-round pick in 2022, is in the final season of his rookie contract. He has played primarily in the slot for the Titans this season, but has experience playing outside, as well. Rams head coach Sean McVay said trading for McCreary adds "depth" at the position group for Los Angeles and that the cornerback's versatility made him an ideal addition. McVay said he likes the job versatile safety Quentin Lake has done in the slot this season, but noted "there's not a whole lot of depth behind him." |
Los Angeles Rams RB Ronnie Rivers reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Oct. 20, after being on the active roster for the Week 7 game.

Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson caught one pass for 31 yards and one touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. He was targeted three times during the game.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams caught five passes for 35 yards and three touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. He was targeted eight times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Adams wasn't the main means of moving the ball through the air with Puka Nacua sitting - that honor went to their unheralded tight end group - but he was still a massive hit for fantasy because Matthew Stafford kept looking to him on goal to go plays. Adams hasn't quite lived up to billing as the running mate for Puka Nacua, who emerged as a clear #1 in the offense, but he has shown a knack for scoring and this game put him a low WR1 scoring level going into the bye, which means he has delivered on his ADP in the first half of the fantasy football regular season. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Colby Parkinson caught three passes for 47 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. He was targeted three times during the game.

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum rushed for 37 yards on 12 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. He also caught one pass for six yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Corum didn't do much for fantasy in an ideal garbage time game script, but it was good to see that he was healthy after missing practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury. It will be tough to carry him through his bye in short bench leagues, but know that Corum has a high ceiling as an injury upside backup because of his running ability and the quality of the Rams offense. |
Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. He also caught two passes for 11 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Williams was a dud in this one because the Rams scored all five times through the air and had the game sewn away with more than 10 minutes to go. The Rams offense has been one of the best in the league and Williams has shown multiple ways to come through for our fantasy teams, even with Blake Corum earning a larger role this season. Consider Williams a solid fantasy RB1 going into his bye despite the disappointing result today. |
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford went 21-for-33 for 182 yards and five touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: No Puka Nacua, no problem. Sean McVay took a page out of Arthur Smith's book, running numerous plays with three tight end on the field early in the game. The Rams offense has been efficient in many forms already this season, and Stafford is a big reason why. He has been an elite QB1 play three of the last four weeks, and the only down game was in the wind against the listless Ravens last week. Stafford could end up being an everyweek QB1 for fantasy, especially in 6 pt pass TD leagues. The Jaguars defense has been giving up big numbers through the air over the last month, which will surely be a point of emphasis of the work they do during the bye. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Rams WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday, Oct. 17, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Atwell logged back-to-back full practices, so there's no reason to have any concern about his hamstring. With Puka Nacua out, Atwell and Jordan Whittington should both see extra opportunities. We've got Atwell ranked as WR61, though, making him an extremely risky flex. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (rest) did not practice on Friday, Oct. 17, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Nothing but a veteran rest day here. Higbee is coming off a season-high 40 yards and his first score of the season. He should see some extra work with Puka Nacua out. However, it's hard to trust him as more than a desperation streamer. |

| Footballguys view: No surprise here, as there was little expectation that Nacua would be ready before the team's bye next week. He hopes to recover over the bye week and return in Week 9, but we probably won't get much news until that week. Davante Adams should get peppered in this matchup, and Jordan Whittington makes for a potential streaming option in deep leagues. |
