Los Angeles Rams DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford leads the Rams into a big divisional matchup on Saturday night against the Arizona Cardinals. Stafford has had back-to-back down games but led the Rams to low-scoring road wins over the 49ers and Jets. In his last home game, he lit up the Bills for 320 passing yards and two touchdowns and is averaging 252.8 passing yards per game in his seven home games this season. On the year, the veteran has 20 passing touchdowns and just eight interceptions and has reached over 3,500 yards. He only managed 216 yards and no touchdowns in Week 2 against the Cardinals, but the Rams' offense is in a much healthier place coming into this rematch. The Cardinals have allowed eight quarterback touchdowns in the last four weeks and have been eliminated from playoff contention. While he isn't a locked-in must-start option anymore, Stafford is RotoBaller's QB13, making him a fringe starter in standard formats for Week 17.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Adams is now firmly in danger of missing the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but he'll have a shot of suiting up if he can return to the practice field on Friday. The good news for fantasy managers is that Adams and the Jets play in the early window on Sunday, so we should know early that day whether he'll be active. The 32-year-old veteran has hit his stride in the last four games, scoring in each contest while bringing in 30 of his 48 targets for 441 yards and five total touchdowns as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' clear favorite target. So if Adams is active this weekend, there's no reason you should be benching him in most formats despite fellow wideout Garrett Wilson clamoring for more targets.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip), who was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's practice session, is back on the field during the early portion open to the media. It's unclear exactly if Adams was able to put in a full session, but the fact that he's back on the field at all suggests the Jets were just resting the veteran pass-catcher earlier in the week. The 32-year-old's Week 17 status is worth monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. If Adams is active this weekend, he should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups with championships on the line. In recent weeks, he's been the Jets' clear WR1 ahead of Garrett Wilson. Adams has scored in four straight games and has 30 receptions for 441 yards and five touchdowns on 48 targets in that span. Check back on Friday to see if he carries an injury designation into Sunday's game.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had five carries against the Jets on Sunday afternoon and totaled 14 yards on his five carries. He also had a run of 32 yards which was called back due to an illegal motion from tight end Hunter Long. Corum has shown explosive upside but has yet to have a breakthrough game while operating as the backup for Kyren Williams. Williams hasn't been breaking big plays but continually moves the chains and finishes with good totals. Corum has potential and has at least five carries in three of his last four games, but he isn't getting enough work to be viable in standard formats.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught eight of his nine targets on Sunday in New York and led the team with 56 receiving yards. While that total isn't impressive overall, he did have 45.9% of Matthew Stafford's total of 110 passing yards on a down day for the Rams' offense in the cold. Nacua didn't get into the end zone or hit 100 receiving yards for the second straight week, but he continues to get enough receptions to remain a strong play in PPR leagues. He has totaled 861 yards on 69 catches in his 10 games this season. He and the Rams come home for matchups against the Cardinals and Seahawks to close out the season.
