Davante Adams is on the sideline with trainers during the Rams’ Week 6 game against the Cardinals on Sunday, according to Underdog NFL.

What happened

Adams limped to the sideline after a play and is being attended to by trainers, per Underdog NFL.

The Rams are playing the Cardinals at home on Sunday, Oct. 18, according to ESPN’s Week 6 schedule.

Context

Adams entered Week 6 with 95.1 PPR points, 27 receptions for 441 yards and four touchdowns on 45 targets this season. He has averaged 19.0 PPR points per game, and Sleeper projected him for 16.5 PPR points against the Cardinals.

In Week 5, Adams had five catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets, posting 22.1 PPR points.

Depth chart

Puka Nacua is listed as the Rams’ top wide receiver, followed by Adams, Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington and Alex Bachman.

Nacua has 77.8 PPR points in three games this season, while Atwell has 6.1 PPR points in three games. Mumpfield has 23.2 PPR points in five games and Whittington has 3.2 PPR points in four games.

If Adams misses time, Atwell and Mumpfield could see more opportunities.

What’s next

The Rams are facing the Cardinals in a game that is currently in progress. Adams’ status for the remainder of the game is unclear.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Any extended absence for Adams would boost the targets for Nacua, who is already commanding a huge share, and could open up opportunities for Atwell and Mumpfield. However, with the game ongoing, monitor updates before making any lineup decisions. If Adams cannot return, Atwell (6.1 PPR points in 3 games) and Mumpfield (23.2 PPR points in 5 games) are next in line, but neither has been a reliable fantasy option this season. Until more is known, hold Adams and avoid starting any Rams receiver not named Nacua unless you are desperate.
