Los Angeles Rams DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't posted the best start to the season in terms of fantasy football, but he continues to rack up yards and completions. Despite clocking in as the QB29, he has the highest completion percentage of his career this season while averaging 244.5 yards per game. This is all while Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) have been out for two and a half of the four weeks so far. In Week 5, Stafford takes on the Green Bay Packers who have given up the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks with an average of 17.1 per game. For fantasy managers dealing with byes, Stafford could be a sneaky streaming option since the Packers' offense is likely to put up some big points turning this into a shootout.

Teams like the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are all monitoring the situation with Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams and are more likely to get involved if the Raiders are willing to take on some of the money owed to Adams, according to sources. Adams is owed $13.5 million the rest of the 2024 season, which is why teams like the Chiefs aren't in all-out pursuit of the six-time Pro Bowler. A trade within the division of a player of Adams' caliber is unlikely to begin with, but this makes the Chiefs even more of a long shot for Adams, even though they may have lost top receiver Rashee Rice (knee) for the rest of the season. The 31-year-old Adams prefers to go to the New York Jets to reunite with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Adams didn't play in Week 4 and is unlikely to suit up in Week 5 against the Broncos, but his rest-of-season fantasy value figures to see a boost if he is traded out of Vegas.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Adams injured his hamstring last week and sat out of the Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns, but the main reason why he hasn't been practicing is because he wants out of Vegas. The veteran All-Pro wideout requested a trade earlier this week and prefers to be dealt to the New York Jets, where he can reunite with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Trade rumors have been swirling ever since it was reported that the Raiders were open to dealing Adams, with plenty of teams interested in the six-time Pro Bowler. Adams isn't expected to play in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, but his fantasy value would see a boost if he were to move to New York. In Vegas, Tre Tucker has become a much more attractive waiver-wire pickup with a boost for the rest of the season if Adams is traded away, which is now expected to happen.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) would like to play for the Jets and be reunited with former teammate Aaron Rodgers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. While Adams is open to other destinations, he would prefer to play for the Jets and team up with Rodgers after the duo formed a dynamic connection in Green Bay. Adams missed last week with a hamstring injury and did not practice on Wednesday. He has 18 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown so far this season. A move to the Jets would surely upgrade the fantasy value of the 31-year-old, as Rodgers and the Jets offense offer an upgrade over Gardner Minshew II and the Raiders' current offense. If Adams gets his wish, it looks like he will end up in New York, but there is still plenty to be worked out in a potential Adams deal.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) has left an impression on teams that he's "focused on engineering a trade to the Jets," according to Albert Breer of the MMQB. However, the Raiders have also fielded calls from the Bills and Steelers. Adams, who recently requested a trade and is expected to miss Week 5 with a hamstring injury, has expressed significant interest in reuniting with Aaron Rodgers, his quarterback in Green Bay who now commands the Jets' offense. Through three games this season, Adams has 18 catches, 209 yards, and one touchdown. He would give New York (or any other team) a productive, veteran pass-catching reinforcement early in the season. From a fantasy perspective, there are few situations less favorable than playing with Gardner Minshew II. Joining forces with someone like Rodgers could bump Adams back up to the mid-range WR1 tier.
