Tyler Higbee Will Remain Sidelined in Week 16

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) will remain sidelined for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee was placed on Injured Reserve following Week 11 due to an ankle injury. Across nine games before getting hurt, the 32-year-old had recorded 20 receptions for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets. The Rams operate with one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL, as all three of Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Terrance Ferguson have played at least 15 offensive snaps in every game since Higbee went down. Parkinson has stepped up as the leading receiver of the group, recording six touchdowns over his last five games. With Higbee sidelined and Rams wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) potentially out as well, Parkinson could be a viable streaming option at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 16.

Davante Adams Will Not Practice on Tuesday, Not Ruled Out for Week 16

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) will not practice on Tuesday but has not yet been ruled out for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, per ESPN's Sarah Bishop. Adams suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to exit early from the Rams' Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions. Given the short turnaround, Adams may be trending towards missing his team's crucial Week 16 matchup against Seattle that may decide which team gets the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Across 14 games this season, the 32-year-old has hauled in 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. If he is sidelined, Rams wideouts Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell could see an increase in playing time. Star Los Angeles wide receiver Puka Nacua would likely be in line for an even larger target share in Week 16. UPDATE: Adams could end up being a game-time decision on Thursday.

Davante Adams Listed as a Non-Participant on Monday's Practice Report

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (knee, hamstring) was listed on Monday's practice report as a non-participant, per John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Adams was forced to exit early from the Rams' Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. Los Angeles did not actually hold a practice on Monday, so Monday's report is an estimation of his status leading into the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Across 14 games this season, Adams has hauled in 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. If he's unable to play in Week 16, Rams wideouts Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell could see increased roles. Los Angeles tight end Colby Parkinson, who caught two touchdowns against Detroit, could also continue to see more targets.

Davante Adams Considered Week-to-Week With Hamstring Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), who left Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions with a hamstring injury, is considered week-to-week, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's an aggravation of a previous injury he was dealing with, but Rapoport writes that it will almost certainly "knock him out" for Thursday night's big divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams aren't ruling out the 32-year-old veteran just yet for Week 16, but unfortunately, fantasy managers in their league's semifinal matchup probably won't have him available this week. The six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro currently leads the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games in his first year in L.A., so it will be a big loss for the Rams' offense if he's out. Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington will have bigger roles behind Puka Nacua, as will tight end Colby Parkinson, who had two touchdowns in Week 15.

Two-Touchdown Performance Makes Colby Parkinson a Priority Waiver-Wire Addition

Fantasy managers should no longer be ignoring Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson. The 26-year-old has been a bigger part of L.A.'s high-scoring offense ever since Tyler Higbee (ankle) landed on Injured Reserve, and he's not slowing down. In the team's 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Parkinson played a season-high 86% of the offensive snaps and set season-highs in catches (five), targets (seven), and receiving yards (75) while finding the end zone twice. The former fourth-rounder now has a whopping six touchdown receptions in the last six games for the Rams, and yet somehow, he's only rostered in 4% of Yahoo leagues. Higbee's return isn't imminent, so Parkinson could be the team's top pass-catching TE the rest of 2025. The Rams' Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Seahawks on Thursday night isn't ideal, but with receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) potentially out, Parkinson could have an even bigger role in the passing attack. Parkinson should be a priority waiver-wire addition at the TE position this week.

Blake Corum Scores for the Third Straight Week

Los Angeles Rams second-year back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, continued to impress in Week 15, as he scored for a third straight week and had 11 carries for 71 yards (6.45 YPC) and one touchdown. Corum has now rushed for a ridiculous 280 yards and four touchdowns over the past three weeks. More impressively, he has done it on 30 carries, which is suitable for a 9.33 YPC. Corum is still the clear backup to Kyren Williams, who had 15 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15. Still, the Rams offense, led by MVP candidate Matthew Stafford, is potent enough to score so much that both running backs have fantasy value as we move into the final weeks of the season. At this point, Corum is the top handcuff option in fantasy football and has standalone RB3/flex value even with Williams taking a majority of the carries. The Rams will face stiff competition in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks.

Rams Pessimistic About Davante Adams' Status for Week 16?

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Adams exited Sunday's game after reaggravating his left hamstring that he had been managing over the last couple of weeks. The 32-year-old had hauled in four catches for 71 yards on nine targets before exiting the game in the fourth quarter and did not return. Coach Sean McVay sounded pessimistic about Adams' status for Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, then went on to say, "but I certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet," reported by Stu Jackson of RamsNFL. It is worth noting that the Rams did clinch a playoff spot after their win over the Lions.

Puka Nacua Returns to Sunday's Game

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The star wideout exited the game in the fourth quarter due to a cramping injury. However, he was able to quickly return, suggesting this injury was not overly serious. Managers should keep an eye on his status during the week leading up to their Week 16 contest on Thursday evening in case he faces a setback. Nacua has enjoyed a stellar showing during this game, catching nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards, which is on track to be a season-high.

Puka Nacua Questionable to Return Due to Cramps, Potentially Avoids Injury Scare

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to cramping. The superstar wideout suffered this injury in the fourth quarter. While he may be in danger of missing the final minutes of this contest, it appears he has avoided a significant injury. Before exiting, Nacua enjoyed another massive showing, bringing in nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also exiting the contest early, managers should expect Tutu Atwell and Joran Whittington to serve as the top options in the passing attack for the remainder of Sunday's game. Given that he appears to have avoided a serious injury, Nacua should be on track to suit up on Thursday when the Rams face the Seahawks.

Davante Adams Exits Sunday's Contest with Hamstring Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) exited Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. The star wideout suffered this non-contact injury while running a route in the fourth quarter and immediately went to the locker room. Entering this game, Adams carried a questionable tag due to a hamstring injury after missing the first two practices of the week and remaining in a limited capacity on Friday. Managers should pay close attention leading up to his Week 16 clash against the Seahawks, which is on Thursday evening. Puka Nacua figures to take on an even higher share of the targets for the remainder of Sunday's contest, while Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell move up the depth chart.

Rams Prioritizing Puka Nacua Extension

The Los Angeles Rams plan to prioritize a long-term extension for superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The Rams will reportedly try to make Nacua one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL during the upcoming offseason. The BYU product is in the middle of his third season and has been dominant every year, establishing himself as one of the best young receivers in football. As a non-first-round pick, Nacua is only under team control for four years after being drafted, which means his contract is currently set to expire after the 2026 campaign. An extension would give the Rams long-term stability at the wide receiver position with Davante Adams, 32, more of a short-term option. Fantasy managers would appreciate the consistency, too, as Nacua was the WR4 in PPR leagues as a rookie and is the overall WR2 so far this year.

Davante Adams Expected to Suit Up Against Lions

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Head coach Sean McVay previously said that he thought Adams would be able to suit up, and Schefter's report aligns with McVay's comments. The veteran receiver has appeared in all 13 games so far and was listed as questionable to face Detroit. He posted a modest four catches for 29 yards last week, but before that, he put together an impressive six-game touchdown streak. Adams ranks as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues this year with 56 catches, 718 yards, and 14 trips to the end zone. He should be viewed as a top-10 fantasy receiver for Week 15 as the Rams host the Lions.

Tutu Atwell Activated From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams activated wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) off Injured Reserve, and he will play on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Atwell will make his return in Week 15 after missing six games due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old wideout wasn't a significant piece of the Rams offense before getting injured, playing 38% of the offensive snaps and catching four of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in six games. The speedy wideout will likely slot back in as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on Sunday against Detroit. Atwell projects as a deep league flex option at best in his first game back in Week 15.

Puka Nacua Set for Enticing Matchup as Rams Host Lions

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been excellent this season, and he should continue to play at a high level in a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 15. He has been able to co-exist alongside Davante Adams (hamstring), as both players rank within the top six wide receivers in fantasy scoring this year. Nacua himself is the overall WR2 in scoring, trailing only Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The 24-year-old could shrink the gap between him and Smith-Njigba this week, given that Nacua has an extremely enticing matchup against the Lions. Detroit's defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.

Davante Adams Looks to Shed Injury Tag, Bounce Back as a WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is looking to bounce back against the Detroit Lions in Week 15 after a relatively disappointing performance last Sunday. Although he is currently listed as questionable to face Detroit, head coach Sean McVay indicated that the veteran receiver should suit up. Adams saw his six-game touchdown streak come to an end last weekend, but he has still been one of the NFL's most dangerous scoring threats with 14 touchdowns through 13 games. He is the sixth-highest-scoring fantasy receiver in 2025 and has shown that he can co-exist with Puka Nacua in this elite Matthew Stafford-led offense. Adams should excel this week against the Lions, who have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. He ranks as the overall WR5 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.

Blake Corum Carries Momentum into Meeting with Tough Lions Run Defense

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has plenty of momentum on his side ahead of Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. Over the last two weeks, Corum has totaled 19 carries for 209 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns, plus a three-yard reception. He has continued to play around one-third of the offensive snaps, and he has posted otherworldly efficiency with 11.0 yards per carry between his last two games. Corum's increased role and productivity have come as a result of the Rams lightening Kyren Williams' workload to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Williams had just one more rush attempt than Corum last week, and the two have combined for five touchdowns over the last two games. While we expect Corum to remain heavily involved for the final few weeks of the regular season, his efficiency may come back down to earth this week. After all, the Lions have allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards, sixth-fewest rushing touchdowns, and second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Still, Corum has proven that he has standalone value in fantasy football. He ranks as the overall RB36 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.

Kyren Williams Maintains High Efficiency in Reduced Role

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams continues to handle a reduced role as the team looks to keep him fresh heading into the 2025 NFL playoffs. While Williams is now averaging 14.0 touches per game over the last five weeks (compared to 21.9 touches per game last season), he has been able to stay on the fantasy radar as a low-end RB1 thanks to his yardage and touchdown efficiency. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry on the ground last week, and he's averaging 5.7 yards per carry over his last five games combined. He also has five touchdowns during those five games, including a trip to the end zone in back-to-back contests. Williams ranks as the overall RB9 in PPR leagues this year while starting to co-exist with Blake Corum, who has taken on a much larger role lately. He has also proven to be matchup-proof, which means managers shouldn't be too concerned about this week's game against the Lions, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Even with Corum making an impact and a tough Lions run defense on tap, we expect Williams to remain a very strong running back option ahead of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. He ranks as the overall RB12 in the latest RotoBaller fantasy rankings for Week 15.

Matthew Stafford • QB • Rams

Matthew Stafford Set for Big Game Against Former Team

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford meets his old team, the Detroit Lions, for a revenge game on Sunday in Week 15. Stafford is having the best season of his storied career, completing exactly one-third of his pass attempts for 3,354 yards, 35 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. He has supported fantasy-relevant roles for a wide variety of Rams skill players, including Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Colby Parkinson, as well as running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Stafford's strong campaign should continue this week. While he was already quite matchup-proof, he should find plenty of success against the Lions, who have allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. He ranks as the overall QB2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in all leagues.

Colby Parkinson a Viable Fantasy Streamer Against Detroit

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has been one of the biggest fantasy risers within the last month or so. Over his last five games, he has 17 catches, 155 yards, and four touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE4 in half-PPR leagues during that span. He has filled in quite admirably for Tyler Higbee (ankle), and he should continue to remain heavily involved as a top target for Matthew Stafford in his Week 15 revenge game against the Detroit Lions. At worst, Parkinson will be third in the pecking order this week behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). However, Adams is listed as questionable, so if he doesn't suit up, Parkinson would likely be the No. 2 target in this high-volume passing offense. He currently ranks as the TE19 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, and he has top-12 upside. Parkinson is a solid fantasy streamer in leagues with at least 12 teams.

Harrison Mevis • K • Rams

Harrison Mevis Returns Home as High-Volume Fantasy Option

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been a high-volume option ever since joining the team, but the vast majority of his kicks have been extra points rather than field goals. Since extra points account for just one point in most fantasy leagues, managers might expect that Mevis' fantasy output has been relatively low. In reality, though, he has kicked so many extra points and has been accurate enough that he remains firmly on the fantasy radar for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. In five games with the Rams, he is 23-for-23 on extra points and 3-for-3 on field goals. Just last week alone, he converted seven kicks (six extra points and one field goal). The biggest drawback for Mevis is that the Rams have scored more touchdowns than field goals, and even when they do get a fourth-down situation in field-goal range, they're not afraid to keep the offense on the field. This has kept Mevis' floor low, but at the same time, he arguably has one of the highest ceilings among all fantasy kickers. After all, if the Rams start kicking more field goals, Mevis could jump to the top tier of fantasy kickers. As it stands, he continues to rank quite high. He's the #5 kicker in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.
