Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams returned from a three-game injury absence last weekend, and he immediately made an impact with five catches for 72 yards on 13 targets and a 72% snap share. Adams continued to carve out a sizable role alongside superstar Puka Nacua. With that being said, the veteran receiver was held without a touchdown for his third consecutive game -- his longest streak without a trip to the end zone since the first half of the 2024 season. Adams is a major touchdown threat, as evidenced by his 14 touchdowns through the first 12 games of the 2025 regular season. As a result, we wouldn't be surprised to see him get back on the board with a score against the Bears on Sunday. After all, this matchup is incredibly enticing and should work in Adams' favor. The Bears have allowed the third-most touchdowns and the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Adams ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's Divisional Round fantasy rankings, putting him behind only Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who played on Saturday evening.

After missing his team's final three games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams returned for the Rams' Wild Card Round win over the Carolina Panthers. The 33-year-old immediately re-established himself as a featured piece of the offense, hauling in five receptions for 72 yards on 13 targets. Adams also played 72% of the Rams' offensive snaps, which was largely in line with his pre-injury snap share. While Adams' production against Carolina was more solid than spectacular, his heavy usage suggests that the team views him as fully recovered from his hamstring ailment. In the Divisional Round, Adams gets a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears. Chicago finished the regular season ranked 26th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.6) and 28th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed (32). Between the matchup and his encouraging health outlook, Adams profiles as a high-end wide receiver option for fantasy managers in the Divisional Round.

Adams missed the final three games of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 15. Despite missing time, the 33-year-old wideout still led the league with 14 receiving touchdowns. Adams and QB Matthew Stafford developed an elite connection in the red zone, and the two should pick up where they left off on Saturday in Carolina. The six-time Pro Bowler caught four of five targets for 58 yards and two scores in Week 13's matchup against the Panthers and projects again as a high-end receiver option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

He recorded four games with multiple touchdowns this season and had more outings with a touchdown grab (nine) than without (five). Now that Adams is back, he profiles as a high-end wide receiver option in the first round of the postseason for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Adams led all players with 14 receiving touchdowns, despite playing in only 14 games, and if active, he is a must-start in fantasy playoff leagues. The Rams are 10.5-point road favorites and have the highest implied team total of the weekend. Adams is RotoBaller's WR2 for Wild Card Weekend, behind only teammate Puka Nacua.
Jan 7, 2026 2:39 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was listed as a full-go on the team's estimated injury report on Tuesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Adams was held out of the final three regular-season games as a way to ensure that he'd be closer to 100% for a postseason run. The 33-year-old should be active for Saturday's Wild-Card matchup against the hosting Carolina Panthers, and he shouldn't have any restrictions in terms of workload. Despite missing time going into the playoffs, the Pro Bowl pass-catcher should be viewed as a top-five fantasy receiver in playoff leagues. Adams finished the 2025 campaign with a league-high 14 touchdown receptions despite missing the final three games, and he added a healthy 60 receptions for 789 yards in his 14 games. Adams is quarterback Matthew Stafford's No. 1 target in the red zone.
Jan 6, 2026 6:14 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that the team expects to get wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) back for Saturday's Wild-Card playoff game against the hosting Carolina Panthers, according to Stu Jackson of TheRams.com. Adams has not played since aggravating his left hamstring injury in the Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions. However, he returned to practice last week and should be ready to roll against Carolina to begin the playoffs. Despite missing the final three games of the regular season, the 33-year-old veteran pass-catcher still finished with a league-high 14 touchdown receptions in his 14 games played in his first year with the Rams. Adams could be a step slower in his return for the postseason, but his chemistry with quarterback Matthew Stafford should be enough to make him a popular DFS play.
Jan 5, 2026 12:27 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Adams is now heading for his third consecutive absence, but the Rams appear optimistic that he'll be able to play in the opening round of the playoffs next weekend. The veteran receiver finishes the regular season with 60 catches, 789 yards, and 14 touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR7 in full-PPR leagues so far. This was his lowest yardage total in a decade, but he made up for it as Matthew Stafford's favorite scoring threat around the goal line.
Jan 4, 2026 3:22 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is considered unlikely to play in the regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Adams has been out since tweaking his hamstring in Week 15's win over the Lions and was able to return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. However, the Rams are expected to hold the 33-year-old out one more week to ensure he is good to go for the playoffs. The six-time Pro Bowler has had a terrific first season in Los Angeles, recording 60 receptions (114 targets) for 789 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns. Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith should continue to see increased opportunities behind Puka Nacua in Week 18 with Adams sidelined.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) will be listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 18 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Adams has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 15, but he was able to return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. Los Angeles could be locked into the number six seed in the NFC by game time on Sunday, pending the result of Saturday night's NFC West showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. However, Rams head coach Sean McVay has said that he plans to play the team's starters no matter what. Across 14 games before getting injured, Adams recorded 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. If active, he profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver. Should Adams remain sidelined, Rams wideout Konata Mumpfield would likely continue to see increased usage.
Jan 2, 2026 3:31 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) resumed practicing on Thursday for the first time since Week 15, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Adams is still unlikely to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals this weekend, but this is a sign that the 33-year-old Pro Bowler is ready to make his return for the wild-card round of the playoffs next week. Adams aggravated an ongoing hamstring injury in Week 15 and has missed the last two games, resulting in more work behind Puka Nacua for receivers Xavier Smith (chest) and Konata Mumpfield, as well as tight ends Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. Adams is on track to return to become a serious touchdown threat for quarterback Matthew Stafford next weekend.
Jan 1, 2026 5:11 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play on Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in the Week 18 regular-season finale, but head coach Sean McVay said he expects Adams to be ready for the playoffs next week. Adams aggravated a hamstring injury in Week 15 and will miss a third straight game this weekend. However, the 33-year-old veteran was seen running close to full speed before Monday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and he should be good to play in the wild-card round of the postseason next week, barring a setback. The six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro brings another dimension to an already strong Rams offense, primarily in the red zone. Despite missing the last two games, Adams still leads the league with his 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games played. He hasn't been as prolific as Puka Nacua in yardage, but he still has a healthy 60 catches for 789 yards on the year for the Rams.
Dec 31, 2025 7:35 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Wednesday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. All signs are pointing to Adams missing a third straight game for the Week 18 regular-season finale this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals due to a nagging hamstring injury. The 33-year-old All-Pro wideout was seen running at close to full speed before Monday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but the Rams are going to err on the side of caution and hold him out so that he's closer to 100% for the start of the playoffs next week. Xavier Smith (chest), who has taken on a bigger role in the passing game with Adams out for the last two games, is also on the injury report and was listed as limited on Wednesday. If Adams is inactive for a third straight game, as expected, both Smith and Konata Mumpfield will have more chances yet again against Arizona behind star wideout Puka Nacua.
Dec 31, 2025 6:04 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), who came into Monday night listed as doubtful, is officially inactive versus the hosting Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. It will be the second straight game that Adams will miss due to a lingering left-hamstring injury. The 33-year-old veteran is expected to be held out in the Week 18 regular-season finale this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals as well. In last Thursday night's crazy overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield stepped up in Adams' absence behind star receiver Puka Nacua to combine for five catches and 97 receiving yards. In addition to Smith and Mumpfield, tight ends Davis Allen, Terrance Ferguson, and Colby Parkinson should remain more involved in the passing attack. Adams is fully expected to be ready to return for the wild-card round of the postseason.
Dec 29, 2025 7:17 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is now downgraded to doubtful ahead of the Monday Night matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons. Adams was initially questionable after not practicing all week due to a lingering hamstring issue. Now, Adams is doubtful to suit up for Week 17. Adams hasn't played since aggravating his hamstring problem during the Week 15 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday night for Adams' official status, but have other plans, as he's unlikely to play. Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and Tutu Atwell should see an increased target share if Adams is unable to play. Mumpfield saw eight targets last week and could offer FLEX value in deep leagues for Week 17.
Dec 27, 2025 6:51 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is officially questionable for his team's Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Adams aggravated a lingering hamstring injury in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions and has not played since. Previous reporting indicated that Los Angeles was considering shutting him down for the remainder of the regular season, so Adams could be trending towards being sidelined on Monday against Atlanta. If he remains out, Rams rookie wideout Konata Mumpfield would likely see an increase in playing time alongside superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua. If active, Adams would likely profile as a solid fantasy WR2. However, fantasy managers needing to make start/sit decisions on Sunday morning may not want to take the risk on Adams being available on Monday.
Dec 27, 2025 2:49 PM EST
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Los Angeles Rams "very well could shut down" wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) for the final two regular-season games. Head coach Sean McVay already said that Adams is doubtful to play on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17, and a team source told Fowler that "it wouldn't be a surprise" to see Adams also miss the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. The Rams' goal is to "ensure Adams is 100 percent for the first week of the playoffs." Adams is currently considered week-to-week after aggravating his hamstring injury on Dec. 14 against the Detroit Lions. The Rams held him out of last Thursday's overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect to have him the rest of the way. Konata Mumpfield, along with star Puka Nacua, could be the biggest beneficiary in L.A.'s passing attack if Adams misses two more games.
Dec 24, 2025 12:15 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) likely won't play in Week 17's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. The 33-year-old wideout missed Thursday night's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks after aggravating a hamstring injury during Week 15's win over the Detroit Lions. The star wideout has had an incredible first season in Los Angeles, hauling in 60 receptions for 789 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns on 114 targets in 14 games. Star receiver Puka Nacua should continue to see a heavy dose of targets in Adams' absence, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington vying for opportunities behind him.
Dec 19, 2025 5:27 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is officially inactive for the Thursday night divisional tilt against the hosting Seattle Seahawks, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN. Adams aggravated a nagging hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions and wasn't able to practice on a short week. The 32-year-old was listed as doubtful on Wednesday's final injury report. L.A.'s offense still has enough firepower to sweep the Seahawks on the year on the road, but Adams' absence could be felt in the red zone on Thursday night. Adams has been a favorite of quarterback Matthew Stafford's inside the 20s, and he currently leads all receivers with 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games. Star receiver Puka Nacua should handle heavy volume in Seattle, with tight end Colby Parkinson also having TE1 upside after his two-touchdown performance in Week 15. At receiver, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington will be battling for Adams' vacated targets.
Dec 18, 2025 6:56 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been listed as doubtful to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 16, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Adams aggravated a hamstring issue he's been battling for weeks now in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions, and on a short week, he's unlikely to be able to go. The 32-year-old veteran wideout is a big loss for a high-scoring Rams offense and for fantasy managers, as he currently leads the league with 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games played. It will be Adams' first missed game of 2025, with his next chance to return coming in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football on Dec. 29. With Adams likely out on Thursday, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, and Konata Mumpfield will look to soak up targets behind top wideout Puka Nacua against a tough Seahawks defense.
