Mumpfield caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 35-21 win at Las Vegas.
With Davante Adams (hamstring) on IR and Puka Nacua dealing with a calf injury going into gameday, it looked like Mumpfield was going to see his role expand in Week 7. While he was second on the team in snaps at wide receiver Sunday (28), he still lagged far behind Nacua (58). As long as the latter remains available, Mumpfield appears unlikely to draw more than a few targets in any given game.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Looking at increased opportunity
Rotowire
Mumpfield could get a significant bump in opportunity Sunday in Week 7 against Las Vegas since Davante Adams (hamstring) is on IR and Puka Nacua (calf) is questionable to play, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
The Rams have so far suggested that Nacua's injury is minor, but he's officially questionable for Sunday. Meanwhile, Adams is out a minimum of four games. Quarterback Matthew Stafford will therefore likely look for another wideout to step up, and Mumpfield figures to get an opportunity to produce. When Nacua was out Weeks 2 and 3, Mumpfield hovered around a 70 percent offensive snap share, and he had a big performance against Denver, posting a 4-93-1 receiving line on eight targets. With that said, wideouts Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell could also be primed for increased roles, and Stafford may give more attention than usual to tight ends Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Two catches against Arizona
Rotowire
Mumpfield caught two of three passes for 15 yards during the Rams' 18-16 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Mumpfield was on the field for only five offensive snaps against the Bills in Week 5, but he was more involved against the Cardinals with 27 offensive snaps. That snap count figures to increase for the Rams' next few games, seeing as Davante Adams is facing a 6-to-10 week recovery timeline for a ruptured left hamstring that required surgery, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Rams will hit the road for Week 7 against the Raiders, whose defense ranks 25th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mumphield should see a bigger role moving forward with Davante Adams (hamstring) out 6-10 weeks, and Mumphield is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB. Puka Nacua and the tight ends should get the majority of targets for the Rams, but Mumphield had eight targets in Week 3 at Denver and finished with four catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. He could emerge as a starter in three-receiver leagues as long as Adams is out, and we'll see what happens with Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell as well.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Practices fully Thursday
Rotowire
Mumpfield (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Mumpfield suffered a bruised shoulder in last Sunday's win over the Eagles but is fine ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Bills. With Puka Nacua back healthy alongside Davante Adams, Mumpfield has very minimal fantasy appeal.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Mumpfield suffered a rotator cuff contusion during Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Mumpfield briefly exited the game before returning to the field, and head coach Sean McVay and the team don't appear to be overly worried about the injury. With Puka Nacua returning to action Sunday, Mumpfield saw only three targets, reeling in one catch for seven yards in the victory.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Secures long touchdown in loss
Rotowire
Mumpfield caught four of eight targets for 93 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to Denver.
Mumpfield operated in a more prominent role at wide receiver behind Davante Adams once again in Week 3 while Puka Nacua (hip) remained sidelined for a second game in a row. The rookie finished third on the team in targets behind Adams (13) and tight end Tyler Higbee (11). Mumpfield's biggest moment of the game came in the fourth quarter when he connected with quarterback Matthew Stafford for a 48-yard score with 3:46 remaining in regulation. The wide receiver has now opened his NFL career by catching five of 11 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown over three regular-season contests.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: One grab in MNF win
Rotowire
Mumpfield caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Monday night's win over the Giants.
With Puka Nacua (hip) out for Week 2 against New York, Mumpfield saw elevated snaps and actually led all Los Angeles wideouts with a 69 percent snap share on offense. It didn't translate to a notable increase in opportunities from Matthew Stafford, as Mumpfield is deep down the pecking order for targets.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Poised for bigger role sans Nacua
Rotowire
With Puka Nacua (hip) inactive, Mumpfield is expected to serve as the Rams' WR2 behind Davante Adams against the Giants on Monday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) is also inactive, so Mumpfield is expected to take on a larger role on offense for Monday's game, though the Rams will also likely lean more heavily on tight ends Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson in 13-man personnel. Mumpfield failed to haul in his lone target while logging 16 offensive snaps during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Draws just one target Thursday
Rotowire
Mumpfield did not catch his only target during the Rams' 27-7 loss against the 49ers in Week 1.
Mumpfield lined up for 16 of the Rams' 61 offensive snaps in Week 1, and he played six snaps on special teams. As long as two-time Pro Bowler Puka Nacua and veteran Davante Adams are available, there likely won't be room for any other Rams wide receivers to draw many targets.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Three catches in OT loss
Rotowire
Mumpfield secured three of eight targets for 40 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Mumpfield helped fill in for the sidelined Davante Adams (hamstring/knee) and drew the second-most targets on the night from Matthew Stafford, although he still only got to half of team leader Puka Nacua's total. Mumpfield wasn't efficient with his opportunities, but he still finished with new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Mumpfield could continue in an expanded role in a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29 if Adams remains sidelined for that contest.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Helps fill in for Adams in Week 15
Rotowire
Mumpfield failed to haul in his lone target while playing 32 of the Rams' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Mumpfield's 44 percent snap share placed him third among Rams wideouts behind Puka Nacua (56 percent) and Davante Adams (46 percent). Nacua's snap count was suppressed due to a mid-game bout with cramps, while Adams aggravated a hamstring strain during the contest. With Adams' availability for Thursday's game against the Seahawks seemingly in jeopardy, Mumpfield would likely stand to be one of the main beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint if the six-time Pro Bowler is unable to play. However, the Rams are also likely to lean heavily on two, or even three, tight-end packages like they did this past Sunday, when Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen all handled snap shares exceeding 70 percent. With that in mind, Mumpfield may not shape up as an especially enticing fantasy option.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Upgrades to full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Mumpfield (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
The return to full participation is a great sign for Mumpfield, who had his most productive game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. If the wide receiver avoids a setback Friday, he will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Fails to record a target
Rotowire
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: 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.

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.
