Davante Adams will miss 6-10 weeks after rupturing his hamstring in Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals, according to a report from Yahoo Sports. Rams coach Sean McVay said Adams has a significant hamstring injury.

What happened

Adams apparently hurt himself on the Rams’ next-to-last offensive play in their 18-16 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. He was seen limping to the sideline and being attended to by trainers during the game, according to Underdog NFL.

The Rams also will be without defensive tackles Poona Ford and Kobie Turner.

Context

Adams has 27 catches for 441 yards and four touchdowns in five games this season, good for 95.1 PPR points. He had five catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5.

Timeline

On Oct. 18, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Adams was on the sideline with trainers during the Rams’ Week 6 game against the Cardinals, and that he limped to the sideline after a play.

Depth chart

Puka Nacua is the top receiver on the Rams’ depth chart. He has 31 catches for 337 yards and one touchdown in three games this season. Konata Mumpfield has six catches for 112 yards and one touchdown in five games; Jordan Whittington has two catches for 12 yards in four games.

What’s next

The Rams visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders traded Adams to the New York Jets in 2024 after he requested a trade from the team he joined in 2022.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Adams is a drop candidate in most redraft leagues with a 6-10 week absence. His roster spot can be used on a streaming option. Puka Nacua becomes an even more central piece of the Rams passing game; he has 31 catches for 337 yards and one touchdown in three games and is projected for 22.7 PPR points in Week 6. Konata Mumpfield could see more targets as the No. 3 receiver; he had four catches for 93 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Mumpfield is a speculative add only in deep leagues. The Rams’ offense may also lean more on the run and short passing game, but no other receiver has stepped up as a consistent fantasy option. Monitor practice reports for Nacua and any news on how the Rams plan to replace Adams’ 45 targets through five games.
