Davante Adams Injury Update: How Long Will Adams Be Out?
Adams seemed to injure his left leg while running a route late in the fourth quarter. The veteran wideout came up lame in the end zone and was grabbing his left knee immediately.
The Rams WR didn’t make contact with any other players during the play, but it’s still unclear how long Adams will be out.
Rams head coach Sean McVay didn’t provide any update on Adams following Sunday’s 18-16 loss against Arizona.
After Adams was injured, the Rams only ran one additional play following TE Colby Parkinson scoring the go-ahead TD with 47 seconds left in the final quarter.
Adams hobbled to the sideline but didn’t go to the locker room. Monday morning didn't see any additional reporting on the ailment come out.
Rams & Puka Nacua Fantasy Football Outlook If Adams Is Out
If Adams is out, WR Puka Nacua could see an elevated workload against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. In his last five games without Adams, Nacua has caught 38 passes for 489 yards and 4 TDs.
Nacua has averaged 97.8 receiving yards during that span, including catching 12 passes for 225 yards and 2 TDs against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 of last season.
Despite a lackluster showing on Sunday, the Rams’ offense has averaged the third-most yards per game (401.3) in the league. According to RBSDM, Los Angeles has registered a 0.106 dropback EPA/ play figure (16th) and a 49.6% dropback success rate (11th).
Nacua's hauled in a team-high 37 passes for 417 yards and a TD in four games this year. He missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to a hip injury.
The Raiders may offer Nacua a chance to excel, even without considering Adams' availability.
Las Vegas has surrendered 27.0 PPG (26th) and 237.3 passing YPG (24th) through six weeks. The Raiders also give up 0.132 EPA/dropback (24th) and a 49.2% passing success rate (26th).
The Rams are a 5.5-point road favorite against the Raiders in Week 7, returning a 1.38x payout if they win — or a $138 return on a $100 entry if you’re right on PrizePicks.
