Davante Adams (WR - NYJ)

12/22/25 4:40 PM -
Davante Adams has a chance to return in Week 17?.
It would be "hard" Rams OL Kevin Dotson (ankle) to be ready for Falcons on Monday night, McVay said. WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is making progress toward return but will be monitored through week, McVay said. (Los Angeles Times - Gary Klein)
FF Today's Take: At this point, it feels more like wishful thinking than anything that a 32-year-old receiver (33 on Christmas Eve) could be anywhere close to 100 percent about two weeks after what was reported as a severe hamstring injury. While an NFC West title and No. 1 seed are still very much in play for the Rams, it might behoove the team to give Adams the final two weeks of the regular season to heal up with a playoff berth already locked up. Puka Nacua has been on a tear lately and should be expected to keep it going versus the Falcons in Week 17. Konata Mumpfield appeared to take a big step forward last week. He is at least worth a speculative add in most leagues at this point.Source:
