Rams WR Puka Nacua said on a recent podcast that he plans to retire at 30. That'd mean six or seven more seasons for the soon-to-be 24-year-old. Nacua followed a huge 2023 rookie campaign by averaging even more catches (7.2) and yards per game (90.0) this past year. His 184 catches and 2,476 yards are both top-seven marks in NFL history by a WR through his first two seasons.
The Rams have agreed to a two-year deal with WR Davante Adams. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports he'll get $46 million, with $26 million of that guaranteed.
The Rams have agreed to a one-year deal with WR Tutu Atwell, paying him a guaranteed $10 million to keep the wideout from reaching free agency. Atwell has spent four seasons with the Rams since arriving as a second-round pick in 2021. According to Spotrac, the new contract ranks Atwell 27th among WRs in annual average as of this writing.
To the surprise of probably no one, the Jets did not manage to find a team interested in trading for WR Davante Adams. Instead, multiple reports say they're releasing the veteran wideout.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Jets are "taking calls" on a potential trade for WR Davante Adams. If the team can't move him that way, it's expected to release Adams. The WR carries $38.3 million cap hits for each of the two years remaining on his contract. According to Spotrac, though, the Jets would save more than $60 million in cap space over that span by unloading Adams.
The Rams and QB Matthew Stafford have agreed to a restructured contract that will keep Stafford with the team at least through 2025, according to multiple reports. Stafford had reportedly drawn serious interest from the Raiders and Giants as a trade option.
The Rams have given QB Matt Stafford permission to gauge trade interest and value from other teams, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Stafford carries a $49.6 million cap number in 2025, but the Rams can save $27 million by trading him in a post-June 1 transaction or $23 million by making him a post-June 1 cut. Stafford, who turned 37 earlier in February, said that he plans to play in 2025, but it's now unclear who he'll be playing for.
Rams HC Sean McVay said Tuesday that he expects TE Tyler Higbee (chest) to play vs. the Eagles on Sunday. Higbee was hospitalized on Monday night after coughing up blood but will evidently be cleared to play six days later. We'll keep an eye on his status throughout this week. Higbee was a big part of the Rams' passing game before exiting the Vikings game, catching all five of his targets across two possessions. He'll face a tough task this weekend against Philadelphia's third-ranked TE defense.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee was knocked out of Monday night's Wild Card win over the Vikings with a chest injury. HC Sean McVay said afterward that Higbee was taken to the hospital. "He’s in stable condition," McVay added. "It was something with his chest. I think he’s gonna be okay. What does that mean, in terms of his status moving forward, I don’t know." Higbee seems unlikely to be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He was busy before going down against Minnesota, catching all five of his targets across two possessions. His absence would leave the Rams with TEs Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Hunter Long.
Rams RB Blake Corum broke his forearm in Week 18 and will miss the playoffs, HC Sean McVay said. The injury shouldn't have too big an impact on Corum's offseason. His absence leaves Ronnie Rivers as the Rams' No. 2 RB. Kyren Williams might handle 100% of the backfield touches this postseason. The Rams host the loser of Sunday night's Lions-Vikings game in Round 1.
Rams RB Blake Corum is questionable to return to Week 18 with a forearm injury. He tallied 2 carries for 10 yards and 1 catch for 12 yards before departing.
Rams QB Matt Stafford, RB Kyren Williams, and WRs Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp won't play against the Seahawks this weekend, HC Sean McVay said Friday. A loss could drop Los Angeles from the No. 3 seed to the No. 4, but McVay will give his key contributors the week off anyway. QB Jimmy Garoppolo will get the start, and RB Blake Corum figures to handle most of the backfield work. Stay away from the WR corps in fantasy lineups.
Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that he'll start QB Jimmy Garoppolo and rest Matthew Stafford for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. That's the move we've been expecting, and we already had Garoppolo projected as the starter in the Week 18 QB rankings. But it's nice for the team to make it official ahead of the weekend.
The Rams have clinched the NFC West but need to beat the Seahawks on Sunday to secure the No. 3 seed. A loss would likely send them to No. 4. But HC Sean McVay strongly suggested on Monday that he'll rest starters against Seattle. "Typically, we’ve erred on the side of leaning a little bit more towards getting some rest and rejuvenation for guys because of the toll that a season takes," HC Sean McVay said. “I would imagine, as we continue to finalize our plans, that’s probably the direction that we’ll go.” McVay also said that he's "excited about watching Blake Corum get a heavy workload" and that he's excited to see rookie RB Cody Schrader play. Although he'll likely be running behind a backup offensive line against a solid Seahawks defense, Corum is shaping up as an interesting Week 18 fantasy play.
Jets WR Davante Adams (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said Adams looked good. We’re not expecting the hip to be a major factor today.
Despite being listed as Questionable with a hip injury, Jets WR Davanate Adams is expected to play against the Bills according to Adam Schefter of ESPN
Jets WR Davante Adams (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Dolphins. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we’ve yet to hear anything to suggest that Adams is in danger of missing this one. We’ll keep you posted on his status and get the Jets’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Jets WR Davante Adams (hip) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. We haven't heard any concern about his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Bills, but his status is worth checking back on when we get New York's final injury report on Friday afternoon.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirms that Rams TE Tyler Higbee is expected to be limited in his return today from last January's torn ACL and MCL. Garafolo is expecting Higbee to play 20-25 plays vs. the Jets. Most of those figure to come in passing situations, but Higbee still should be nowhere near Week 16 fantasy lineups.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee) is expected to make his 2024 debut vs. the Jets next week, HC Sean McVay said Friday. Higbee has been working his way back from last January's torn ACL and MCL. He figures to be eased back in and won't be a big part of a passing game dominated by WRs Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Higbee can be left on fantasy waiver wires.
