Rams Optimistic That Davante Adams Will Play in Week 12 vs. Packers

Thursday, November 12, 4:50 AM

The Los Angeles Rams have "optimism" that wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) will return for the team's Week 12 contest against the Green Bay Packers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Adams injured his hamstring in Week 6, underwent surgery, and was given a 6-to-12-week timeline for his recovery. It appears that the veteran receiver is on the very early side of that window, as a Week 12 return against his old team on Thanksgiving Eve would put him at six weeks. It also lines up well with the Rams' Week 11 bye, which gives him a little extra time to recover. Getting Adams back so soon would be fantastic news for the Rams, whose passing game is trending in the wrong direction with Adams, Puka Nacua (knee), and Jordan Whittington (back) all sidelined. Konata Mumpfield projects to lead the receiver room in their absence, but it sounds like his expanded role could be short-lived if Adams gets back on the field after just one more game missed. Adams should be treated as a mid-to-low WR1 if he's playing while Nacua is hurt, and he'd still be a solid WR2 when Nacua gets back.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Should Continue Being Heavily Targeted At Atlanta

Friday, November 13, 12:24 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in targets and finished second on the team in receiving yards in last week's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Since returning from injury, Rice has been the featured target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and that should continue to be the case despite dealing with a knee issue. Rice was listed on the team's injury report with a knee injury this week but it did not prevent him from logging full practices all week. After a third full practice on Friday, he does not have an injury designation ahead of the weekend. Rice should be fully prepared to take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road this Sunday. The Falcons defense has been a tough matchup for wide receivers and soft on running backs, making them more of a run funnel this season. The loss of safety Jessie Bates should open things up in the Atlanta secondary, but the best way to attack the defense will likely still be on the ground. Given the matchup and recent addition of Josh Downs at the trade deadline, Rice could be in for a lesser performance this Sunday. Rice is ranked WR16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong WR2 option this week, but he may have limited upside.
