Overview
- Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that a return for Davante Adams after Los Angeles’ Week 12 game against Green Bay is a realistic timeline.
- Adams has been out since suffering a severe hamstring injury on Oct. 18, underwent a surgical clean-out and was placed on injured reserve.
- Puka Nacua is expected to miss an extended period and the Rams chose not to place him on injured reserve while also declining to add a receiver at the trade deadline.
- If McVay’s timeline holds, Adams could be active as soon as Week 13 (Dec. 3), which would restore a top target for Stafford after Adams recorded 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns before the injury.
- Fantasy analysts are urging managers to stash Adams now because his possible Week 13 return lines up with most fantasy playoff start weeks, though any activation remains contingent on medical progress and roster rules.
