Mumpfield played 30 snaps on offense during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Despite another big day from Matthew Stafford (24-of-32 for 281 yards and four touchdowns), Tutu Atwell (hamstring) being out and Puka Nacua (chest) missing a chunk of the second half, Mumpfield failed to keep the momentum from his first NFL touchdown in Week 7 against the Jaguars in London. Mumpfield could find himself with a bigger role if Nacua's injury persists into a Week 10 divisional showdown with the 49ers, with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington also vying for additional playing time behind Davante Adams.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Notches first NFL touchdown
Rotowire
Mumpfield secured his only target for five yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-7 victory against the Jaguars.
Mumpfield's maiden touchdown of his NFL career came when he got past Jourdan Lewis and caught a five-yard dart from Matthew Stafford in the end zone. This was the first of Stafford's five touchdown passes, but despite the initial touchdown grab, Mumpfield wouldn't see another target on the day. The lack of targets isn't atypical, as this was just his second catch on the year. Despite a season-high 28 snaps on offense in the contest, Mumpfield is likely to revert to his light usage once Puka Nacua (ankle) returns from injury. The Rams are on bye in Week 8 before the Saints come to town in Week 9.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Held without a catch
Rotowire
Mumpfield recorded six snaps on offense and two snaps on special teams during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.
Eight different players saw targets from Matthew Stafford on Sunday, but only Mumpfield and Jordan Whittington (who did have a five-yard rush) failed to record a target out of the Rams' group of wideouts. Given Mumpfield's rookie status, this isn't a real surprise, but fantasy managers hoping to see what the seventh-rounder can do in regular season action may be waiting for a while given the commanding snap share of Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell through one game.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Works as starter
Rotowire
Mumpfield recorded two catches on four targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.
The Rams rested all of their key pass catchers, including Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. That gave Mumpfield the chance to start, and he delivered a four-yard touchdown reception midway through the first quarter on a quick slant pattern. Mumpfield appears to be the favorite for the fifth spot on the wide receiver depth chart, particularly after drawing praise from coach Sean McVay earlier in training camp.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Won't miss time
Rotowire
Rams coach Sean McVay said Sunday that Mumpfield (ankle) won't miss any time after departing Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys early, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Mumpfield already appears healthy after suffering an ankle injury during Saturday's preseason game against Dallas. Expect him to take the field for preseason action against the Chargers on Saturday, Aug. 16, as he continues to compete for a depth roster spot at wide receiver.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Catching McVay's attention
Rotowire
Rams coach Sean McVay said Saturday that Mumpfield is "one of the guys that has really shined" during training camp.
McVay was similarly pleased in April when the Rams drafted Mumpfield in the seventh round, saying on video that the Pittsburgh product was easily the best wideout left on the board. A key role early in the season is unlikely with Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington competing for the No. 3 job, but Mumpfield at least appears on track for a roster spot. Mumpfield was a four-year starter at Akron and Pittsburgh, finishing each season in the ranges of 44 to 63 receptions and 551 to 813 receiving yards, before his draft stock took a hit at the 2025 Combine when he ran a 4.59 40 at 5-foot-11, 186 pounds.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Productive wideout scooped by Rams
Rotowire
The Rams selected Mumpfield in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 242nd overall.
Mumpfield led Akron as a freshman with 63 receptions for 751 yards and eight touchdowns. He spent the next three seasons as a starter at Pittsburgh, rotating between reps outside and in the slot and leading the team in receiving as a senior. His NFL Combine performance left a lot to be desired, as he ran a 4.59 40-yard dash at 5-foot-11, 186 pounds, but he was consistently productive across his entire collegiate career. His main feature is his route-running ability, and now he'll get to learn behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in Los Angeles as he vies for a roster spot during training camp.
