| Footballguys view: Adams was not able to play in Week 16 on Thursday against the Seahawks. The Rams will be without him again, this time against the Falcons in Week 17. Get ready for another monster game from Puka Nacua if/when Adams misses time. The Rams need to get Adams as healthy as possible before they make a run at the Super Bowl. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring, knee) won't practice Tuesday, Dec. 16, but the team isn't ruling him out for Thursday, Dec. 18, against the Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: Adams aggravated a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Lions, and the team listed him as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Head coach Sean McVay did not rule Adams, who is also listed with a knee issue, out for Thursday night, however, and indications are that the Rams, who have clinched a playoff spot, will wait as long as possible before deciding on his availability. Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Smith are the team's other wideouts. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is considered week-to-week because of a hamstring injury, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Adams went down in the fourth quarter Sunday and was unable to return to the game. McVay will provide another update when he addresses the media on Tuesday, likely giving a clearer timeline for Adams' return. Rapoport reported earlier in the day that "the hope is Adams will be able to return for the playoffs. This season, Adams leads the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions. He has 789 yards receiving on 60 receptions. He had played all 14 games before getting injured Sunday, but now stands to miss at least Thursday night's game against the Seahawks. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Colby Parkinson has six touchdowns in the past six games, including two scores in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions, and he is tied with WR Puka Nacua for second on the team in receiving touchdowns. He is also third in receptions (31), targets (38) and receiving yards (298) behind Nacua and WR Davante Adams. 'It's just been an enjoyable year,' Parkinson said Monday, Dec. 15. 'I really just want the team to do well and to play to the best of my abilities for the team, what that looks like.'
| Footballguys view: The second of Parkinson's two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Lions was his sixth in the past six games, surpassing the veteran tight end's total TDs in his first 5 1/2 NFL seasons. It's worth noting the Rams play the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night this week, and they've allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. As Pro Football Focus suggests, Parkinson should not only be a top target off the waiver wire this week, but he can potentially be inserted straight into fantasy starting lineups. |

Rams TE Colby Parkinson caught five passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson's first touchdown, a 26-yarder late in the third quarter, put the Rams back ahead. His second TD catch in the fourth quarter was his sixth in his past six games, surpassing the veteran tight end's total TDs in his first 5 1/2 NFL seasons. The Rams play the Seahawks on Thursday night in Week 16. |

Rams WR Puka Nacua caught nine of 11 targets for a career-high 181 yards in the Rams' 41-34 win over the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Nacua caught all four targets for 134 yards on vertical routes. This marks back-to-back games with over 100 yards on vertical routes for Nacua, who recorded five receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns on such routes last week against the Cardinals. Although he left the game with cramping, Nacua should be good to go for a Week 16 Thursday night game against the Seahawks. |

Playing on Thursday night in Week 16, the Rams don't seem likely to have Davante Adams for a big matchup against Seattle. But, head coach Sean McVay did not rule Adams out on Sunday after Los Angeles' victory over Detroit.
| Footballguys view: McVay told reporters after Sunday's win that Adams had aggravated the injury to the same hamstring that kept him out of practice for two days this week. "He was optimistic talking to him. He knows his body really well," McVay said in his press conference. "I can't imagine that's good for Thursday, with just the short amount of time. I certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet. But, it didn't look good." Adams finished Sunday's game with four receptions for 71 yards. He entered the weekend with a league-high 14 touchdowns. Stay tuned. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (cramps) left the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter due to what the team is calling cramps. He was hit in the back on the ground on a reception. He attempted to get up, and feel to the ground in pain. Eventually, he walked off under his own power, and he walked to the locker room.
| Footballguys view: Nacua has been resuming his elite WR1 fantasy form in recent weeks, and he could be even better with Davante Adams likely out for a while because of a hamstring injury, but we'll need to monitor this closely with the Rams having to turn around and play in four days at Seattle on Thursday night. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter due to an apparent hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Adams went down while running a deep route. Because he has been on the injury report with hamstring issues for a while, this could be a multiweek absence for Adams. Fantasy teams should expect to not have him available for Week 16 or 17, and the Rams might be lucky if they get him back for wild card week, or even better, get the #1 seed and can rest him for a month before he plays again. Colby Parkinson had a big Week 15 and should be a strong Week 16 play in a more concentrated Rams passing game at Seattle. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 13.
| Footballguys view: Atwell has been practicing for some time, and the Rams feel he's ready for game action. He gives QB Matthew Stafford another big-play option behind Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Atwell is merely a 'what the heck' flex option if he's out there in Week 15. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Atwell sits deep in the weekly fantasy rankings due to the Rams' concentrated passing attack. His primary role is to stretch defenses vertically, which opens up more targets for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. |
Tutu Atwell player page
Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 15, but head coach Sean McVay expects him to play.
| Footballguys view: Adams knows his body well and has been managing this hamstring injury for most of the season. With the Rams playing late on Sunday, fantasy managers should prepare for the worst and have a late-game pivot ready in case he can't go. That said, we expect him to be on the field. |
