Davante Adams Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The rain wasn't the only thing falling in London on Sunday. Despite not having star WR Puka Nacua (ankle) active, QB Matthew Stafford tossed 5 TD passes in the Rams' 35-7 dismantling of the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was the fifth time in his career that Stafford has tossed 5 TDs in a game, but the first time with the Rams. Both teams will fly home and a Week 8 bye.

Rams WR Puka Nacua will "likely" miss time with an ankle sprain, NFL Network reports. "It would make sense for Nacua to be out next week against the Jaguars, then LAR has a bye to regroup and assess," Ian Rapoport tweeted. It continues to sound like Nacua dodged a serious injury, and the Week 8 bye comes at a nice time. But fantasy owners should prepare to be without the stud WR for at least Week 7. Nacua's absence will knock Matt Stafford out of QB1 consideration. WR Davante Adams will get a significant boost in target upside, while WR Jordan Whittington could be a low-level spot starter. We'll see if WR Tutu Atwell is able to return after missing Week 6 with a hamstring injury.

Rams WR Puka Nacua kept on rolling in Sunday’s win over the Colts. The third-year pro turned 15 targets into 13 catches, 170 yards, and 1 TD. Puka now leads the NFL – by a wide margin – in catches (42) and receiving yards (503).

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Colts. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but HC Sean McVay said he does not expect Adams to be on a snap count today. There’s elevated risk here, but Adams remains a must-start.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) looked good in Friday's practice. "So I don’t sense any major restrictions placed on him today," Fowler adds. "The Rams will be ‘smart’ with him, however, as one source said." This jibes with what we heard from HC Sean McVay on Friday. Adams comes with more risk than usual this week but still sits inside our the top 10 in the Week 4 WR rankings.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Colts this afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Adams got in just a limited practice on Friday this week, but HC Sean McVay expressed optimism about his status and said he doesn't expect Adams to be on a snap count today. We'll let you know if we hear otherwise, but Adams should be penciled into Week 4 fantasy lineups right now.

He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but HC Sean McVay said he “feels good” about Adams’ availability for this one.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Colts. It'd be a huge loss for a Rams passing game that has sent 30.2% of its targets in Adams' direction. We'll see if he's able to get back on the practice field tomorrow -- and then how he's listed on the final injury report.

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details. Adams registered a typical 86% snap rate in the Week 3 loss to the Eagles, so our guess is that this is more of a veteran rest day. But we'll see if Adams gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

"And there’s nothing that would lead me to believe, unless we have an unforeseen setback, that he’s not gonna be ready to roll against the Texans."
