Rams' Davante Adams: Inactive Thursday, as expected
Rotowire
Adams (knee/hamstring) is listed as inactive Thursday at Seattle.
Considering Adams didn't practice this week due to a lingering hamstring injury and a new knee issue and then was listed as doubtful for Week 16 action, this comes as no surprise. With Adams sidelined for the first time this season, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith will be the wide receivers available to work alongside clear-cut top option Puka Nacua. Adams' next chance to suit up is Monday, Dec. 29 in Atlanta.

Rams' Davante Adams: Doubtful for TNF
Rotowire
Adams (knee/hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game at Seattle, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Adams missed Tuesday's walkthrough and Wednesday's practice due to a lingering hamstring injury and a new knee issue, which seemingly will combine to force his first absence of the campaign. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's inactive, the Rams will be banking on some combination of Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith to work alongside top WR Puka Nacua.

Rams' Davante Adams: Sitting out walk-through practice
Rotowire
Rams head coach Sean McVay said that Adams (hamstring/knee) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Tuesday's session marks the only on-field workout of the week for the Rams, who won't hold any traditional practices in advance of Thursday's game against the Seahawks. McVay said that he hasn't yet ruled out the veteran wideout, who will be given "every chance" to play in a game with huge implications for the NFC West title, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Adams will likely be a game-time decision ahead of the 8:15 p.m. EST kickoff.

Rams' Davante Adams: Deemed 'week-to-week'
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, placing his status in doubt for Thursday's game at Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Adams dealt with a hamstring issue in advance of each of the Rams' past two games, but he left Sunday's win against the Lions early after aggravating the issue. Coach Sean McVay told Stu Jackson of the team's official site afterward that Adams' status was uncertain for Week 16 but that he "certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet." Rapoport's report adds a new layer to Adams' status, but the veteran wide receiver may need to practice in some capacity this week in order to suit up Thursday.

Rams' Davante Adams: Could miss Thursday's game
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions that Adams (hamstring) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Seahawks, though McVay "wouldn't rule (Adams) out quite yet," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Adams left Sunday's win over the Lions in the fourth quarter and didn't return after aggravating a hamstring injury. The veteran wide receiver was optimistic about his injury after the game, and while Adams appears to have avoided a significant injury, he'll be hard-pressed to recover on a short week in time to face the Seahawks on Thursday in a game with significant implications in the NFC West race.

Rams' Davante Adams: Active as expected Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Adams got in only a limited Friday practice during Week 15 prep, but Saturday reports indicated the veteran wideout was trending to play. With his availability for Sunday's marquee matchup now confirmed, Adams should be in line for his usual No. 2 receiver role that's afforded him 8.1 targets per game to date while facing an injury-decimated Lions secondary.

Rams' Davante Adams: Still expected to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring), who is officially questionable to face the Lions on Sunday, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week but logged a limited session Friday. Though he entered the weekend deemed questionable to suit up, coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Friday that the star wideout would be able to give it a go, and that looks like it will indeed be the case. Adams could be in for a big game against a Lions defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to wideouts this season.

Rams' Davante Adams: Questionable, expected to play
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, but he's expected to play, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams has been managing the same hamstring injury since September without ever missing a game, but there was perhaps some concern this week after he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. It sounds like the Rams may not share that concern, but they're still giving Adams an injury designation, which means his fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the situation this weekend, heading into a 4:25 p.m. kickoff Sunday.

Rams' Davante Adams: Another missed practice
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
So far during Week 15 prep, Adams sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and then was seen rehabbing his hamstring on the side one day later, ultimately going down as a non-participant for a second straight session. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but there's been no indication from coach Sean McVay that Adams is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Lions.

Rams' Davante Adams: Continues to rehab hamstring
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) was spotted rehabbing on the side as the Rams warmed up for Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering hamstring injury and may go down as a DNP for a second straight day, which ultimately will be revealed when the Rams post their second Week 15 practice report. He also dealt with the issue last week but suited up this past Sunday in Arizona, logging a season-low 43 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 29 yards.

Rams' Davante Adams: Sits out walkthrough
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16.

Rams' Davante Adams: Takes back seat to Nacua
Rotowire
Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Adams suffered his worst fantasy output of the season in Week 14 as the Cardinals keyed in defensively on the touchdown machine. The 32-year-old's scoring streak of six games (featuring 11 touchdowns) finally came to end after QB Matthew Stafford spread the wealth to Los Angeles' other receiving options Sunday. Co-starter Puka Nacua shined with a 7-167-2 receiving line, leaving little work for Adams in the second half of the lopsided blowout. Adams will look to get back to his scoring ways when the Rams host the Lions for a potential offensive showdown in Week 15.

Rams' Davante Adams: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Adams never seemed in serious danger of missing the game and should be ready for his usual workload after logging a full practice Friday. He's seen at least five targets and 35 snaps in every appearance this season, scoring 14 TDs in 12 games along the way.

Rams' Davante Adams: Expected to play
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday at Arizona, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
It remains to be seen how the Rams list Adams on their final injury report. His return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests Adams is on track to play. He played through hamstring, back and oblique injuries earlier this season, without ever missing a game or finishing with fewer than five targets or 35 snaps. He's also scored touchdowns in nine of 12 games, including each of the last six (with multiple TDs in four of those).

Rams' Davante Adams: Limited in practice Thursday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
When coach Sean McVay announced Wednesday that Adams wouldn't practice to begin Week 14 prep, he added that the veteran wide receiver was among a group of banged-up Rams that are expected to be available Sunday at Arizona. Adams then told Nate Atkins of The Athletic on Thursday that his left hamstring issue happened early this past Sunday at Carolina, a contest in which he hauled in four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Adams has a designation going into the weekend.

Rams' Davante Adams: DNP due to hamstring issue
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, but he expects the veteran wide receiver to play Sunday in Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
This is a new health concern for Adams, who currently is on a six-game TD streak during which he has 11 end-zone visits. Outside of touchdowns, he's put together 26 catches (on 44 targets) for 293 yards in that stretch, so he's relatively dependent on the all-important category for his fantasy appeal at the moment. That aside, Adams will have a pair of chances this week to prove his health before the Rams potentially give him a designation ahead of the weekend.

Rams' Davante Adams: Two more scores in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Adams caught four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Another week, another couple of red-zone TDs for the veteran wideout, who connected with Matthew Stafford for a four-yard score in the first quarter and a seven-yard strike in the second. Adams is up to a league-leading 14 touchdowns in 12 games in his first season with the Rams, the first time he's reached that mark since 2022, and his career high of 18 TDs from 2020 with the Packers is firmly in his sights. Adams will look to extend his current TD streak to six games in Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Rams' Davante Adams: Posts 27th multi-TD game of career
Rotowire
Adams finished with five receptions on eight targets for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 34-7 blowout win over Tampa Bay.
Adams suffered a couple of uncharacteristic drops on Sunday Night Football, but fantasy managers can look past that fact after he converted a pair of successful touchdown grabs in the win. It was the 27th time over the course of the superstar's illustrious career that he has scored multiple touchdowns in a single game, good for seventh all-time among receivers in league history. The 32-year-old has now scored in five consecutive appearances, producing multiple trips to the end zone in three out of those five outings. The NFL's league leader in receiving touchdowns (12) will look to add to the gap between he and Amon-Ra St. Brown (eight) when Adams and the Rams visit the Panthers next Sunday.

Rams' Davante Adams: Scores on lone Week 11 catch
Rotowire
Adams (oblique) caught one of eight targets for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Adams suited up after getting banged up in the fourth quarter of the Rams' previous game, and he secured his league-leading 10th touchdown catch on a one-yard pass in the first quarter against the Seahawks. That was his only reception of the game as Matthew Stafford threw for just 130 yards. The veteran wide receiver's chemistry with Stafford in goal-line situations has been on full display during Adams' four-game, seven-touchdown streak. Adams will try to extend his scoring streak in Week 12 against a Buccaneers defense that just allowed 44 points to the Bills.

Rams' Davante Adams: Suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (oblique) is listed as active Sunday versus the Seahawks.
Adams initially was diagnosed with a back injury when he departed last Sunday's win at San Francisco in the fourth quarter. Coach Sean McVay told Nate Atkins of The Athletic afterward that Adams instead was dealing with an oblique issue but could have returned if the game was in question. When McVay told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that Adams wouldn't practice Wednesday, he also said that he expected the veteran wide receiver to be available for Week 11 action. McVay relayed the same thing to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday, and back-to-back limited sessions Thursday and Friday ended up being enough for Adams to suit up this weekend. Adams will be taking on a Seattle defense Sunday that has allowed the 20th-most catches (102) to opposing WRs but only 6.3 YPT (second in the NFL) in nine games this season.
