Who Should I Start? Troy Franklin or Konata Mumpfield

Tuesday, November 3, 4:19 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft and had 10 catches on 23 targets in his first season. He is off to a better start in 2026, gaining 142 receiving yards on nine receptions thus far, but this does not make him a worthy waiver-wire addition. He had his greatest stat line in Week 3, when he garnered 93 receiving yards and a touchdown on four receptions. It is important to note, however, that the Rams' star wide receiver Puka Nacua was not active in this game due to a groin injury. Once Nacua returned in Week 4, Mumpfield was relegated to his typical role, catching one ball on three targets. Over the past three weeks, Mumpfield has an average snap percentage of 47%, which is an improvement over prior weeks when he only saw 26%, 27%, and 7% snap shares. This is due to wide receiver Davante Adams' hamstring injury suffered in Week 6. His involvement could get worse, though, with pass-catching tight end Terrance Ferguson likely to return soon. Fantasy managers should only consider rostering Mumpfield in deep dynasty leagues, as he isn't poised to make an impact in 2026.
