News: 5 days agoHead coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Adams had successful surgery on his left hamstring, and the Rams are hopeful that the wide receiver will be able to return on the early side of his 6-to-10-week recovery timetable, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Spin: Adams tweaked his hamstring on the Rams' final offensive possession of a Week 6 loss to the Cardinals on Oct. 18, and McVay revealed one day later that the wide receiver had a rupture of the hamstring and required surgery, with the aim to return "a little after" the Rams' Week 11 bye. L.A. seems to be targeting a Week 12 matchup with the Packers on Wednesday, Nov. 25, which is a shade more than six weeks from the initial injury. In any case, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell will continue to earn the WR reps behind top option Puka Nacua.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Adams' first season in Los Angeles was a success, as the veteran led the wide receiver position in touchdowns for the third time in the past six seasons. His 27 end zone targets were nine more than any other player and he now sits second in that category (148) and in TDs from scrimmage (117) since entering the league in 2014. Adams' ninth-place finish in fantasy PPG marked his ninth top-10 in his past 10 seasons. Now 33 years old, he isn't targeted as much as in years past (24% target share in 2025 was his lowest since 2016), but he's the clear No. 2 behind Puka Nacua in the Rams' elite, Matthew Stafford-led offense. Adams' heavy usage near the goal line helps cement him as a fine fantasy WR2.
