Los Angeles Rams DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught four of his six targets for 54 yards in a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Adams finished second on the Jets in targets, catches, and receiving yards behind only Garrett Wilson in the close loss but it goes down as his second straight pedestrian outing since the team acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of Week 7. Adams should have better days ahead of him as he gets more acclimated to the New York offense but it appears that he is not going to be overtaking Wilson as the team's No. 1 receiver anytime soon. Adams will be a low-end WR2 in fantasy heading into Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams had a quiet debut with his new team in Week 7, catching just three of his nine targets for 30 yards in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Adams will look to bounce back on the road against the New England Patriots in Week 8. The Patriots have been a decent matchup for receivers this season, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Another reason for optimism for Adams is it looks like Allen Lazard (chest) is unlikely to play in Week 8, which will consolidate targets around Adams and Garrett Wilson more than usual. Treat Adams as a low-end WR2 heading into Week 8 against the Patriots.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua returned in a big way on Thursday night to help the team beat the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 30-20. While he may not have made a trip to the end zone, Nacua finished with seven receptions for 106 yards on nine targets and received two carries for five yards. Right away, even with Cooper Kupp back in the fold, Nacua was Matthew Stafford's top target. He didn't show many signs of rust or lingering pain, so Nacua should be back in fantasy lineups moving forward if he wasn't already.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams still received the bulk of the backfield workload and saw the team's third-most targets. During the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Williams finished with 23 carries for 97 yards, five receptions for 19 yards, and a touchdown on seven targets. With this performance, Williams moved into the RB2 on the season for the time being. He continues to receive the most reliable share of touches in most backfields and should see a bit more open field with the receiving corps getting healthy again. He'll look to score again in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had all of his weapons back on offense and made use of every single one in their 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller finished the game with 279 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 25-for-34. He was able to find nine different pass-catchers in this game, and his chemistry with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp returned right away. This was his first game of the season with more than one touchdown and no sacks. The Rams will get some extra rest before heading to Seattle in Week 9.
