Los Angeles Rams DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The veteran receiver has been dominant lately, catching 39 passes for 441 yards and five touchdowns over his last four games. He is the overall WR1 in half-PPR leagues during that span, ranking a couple points ahead of Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. Adams should continue to be treated as a high-end WR1 option against the Bills on Sunday. He's especially intriguing given speculation that Aaron Rodgers may target Adams for his 500th career passing touchdown.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty was perfect on his kicks during Saturday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Karty made two field goals, including one from 53 yards while connecting on his lone extra point attempt in the win over the Cardinals. The rookie kicker has been shaky at times with five missed field goals and four missed extra point attempts this season. Despite that, the Rams continue to ride with Karty and are hopeful he can be their kicker of the future. This offense moves the ball enough to give Karty plenty of work on a weekly basis.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had two catches for nine yards in the Rams' win on Saturday night against the Cardinals. While his overall stat line wasn't impressive, he continues to step into a bigger role in the offense after missing the first 15 weeks of the season with a knee injury suffered last year in the playoffs. The veteran out of Western Kentucky played 30% of the team's snaps and tied for second on the team in targets with three and was the only player besides Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams with multiple catches. He was also the only one of the Rams' tight ends to have a catch. Despite the offense's struggles, the Rams eked out the win and could clinch a playoff spot on Sunday depending on other teams' results. Higbee will continue to ramp up to full speed for the Rams, who close out the regular season next week at home against the Seahawks.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum did get his typical workload in the second quarter against the Cardinals on Saturday night, but he ended up losing four yards on his three carries. He got all of his work on the team's third possession and remains firmly behind Kyren Williams on the depth chart. Corum has totaled 197 rushing yards on his 56 carries in his rookie season while catching six-of-seven targets for 46 receiving yards. However, despite his ineffectiveness Saturday, Corum could be in store for a bigger workload in Week 18 against the Seahawks since the Rams could clinch the division on Sunday depending on multiple results that impact their strength of schedule tiebreaker. If Williams is rested, Corum would be an interesting play against Seattle, so stay tuned for status updates leading up to Week 18's kickoff.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to post big numbers even when the rest of the offense struggles. On Saturday night, Nacua hauled in 10 passes against the Cardinals for 129 yards on a team-high 14 targets. Nacua's line in the box score stands out even more when compared to the rest of the Rams' offense which couldn't get much going against the Cardinals. Matthew Stafford completed only 17 passes for 189 yards, meaning Nacua had 59% of the team's completions and 68% of the Rams' receiving yards. For the season, Nacua is up to 79 catches for 990 yards this season in just 11 games. He should reach 1,000 yards despite his injury-plagued campaign next week against the Seahawks in the regular season finale. However, he may have a reduced workload if the Rams clinch the division before kickoff, which could happen this Sunday depending on multiple results that impact their strength of schedule tiebreaker with Seattle.
