Tyler Higbee's performance has declined, making him a less appealing streaming option for Week 8
The Rams' win over the Raiders provided some key takeaways
After a particularly disappointing loss last week and a wave of injuries, the Rams got their groove back against the Raiders on Sunday. Los Angeles defeated Las Vegas 35-21 with a strong overall performance in the desert. The Rams were particularly effective on the ground, and the club would have rushed for over 200 yards if not for kneel-downs at the end of the game. Kyren Williams led the way with 99 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown, while Blake Corum had 93 yards on 17 carries with a TD. Matthew Stafford became the Rams’ all-time leader in touchdown passes with his three first-half scoring strikes on Sunday, surpassing Roman Gabriel. He finished the contest 23-of-29 passing for 195 yards with the three scores and an interception — a pass that went right off of Colby Parkinson’s hands and into the waiting arms of Nakobe Dean. Despite dealing with a calf injury, Puka Nacua caught eight passes for 68 yards with a touchdown while also rushing for 10 yards on two carries. Tight end Davis Allen caught Stanford’s other two touchdowns in the first half. L.A. punted on its first possession, but after that scored four straight touchdowns to take a 28-6 lead into halftime. Things got a little hairy for the Rams in the second half, with a Kyren Williams fumble and the interception preventing the team from scoring more. But after Kirk Cousins’ 15-yard touchdown pass to Ashton Jeanty narrowed the Rams’ lead to 28-18, L.A. put the game away with a 12-play, 70-yard drive that ended on Corum’s 4-yard touchdown run. Cousins finished the game 26-of-44 for 295 yards with two touchdowns. Tre Tucker caught five passes for 103 yards with a TD. Jeanty had just 15 yards rushing on eight carries, though he also had 61 yards receiving on eight catches. Brock Bowers finished with 73 yards on six catches. Now at 3-4, the Rams will be back at SoFi Stadium for a matchup against the cross-town Chargers in Week 8. After starting 3-0, the Raiders have now fallen to 3-4. They will be on the road to face the Jets next Sunday
Rams extend lead over Raiders, Davis Allen scores 2nd TD
Davis Allen had a good game, but still a tough player to trust
Mumpfield’s limited production and the Rams’ depth at WR leave him a low‑value option, while Puka Nacua, Davis Allen and the injured Davante Adams remain solid contributors
Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen came into Sunday's game with only six receptions on the year. The 25-year-old came out of nowhere and posted a career game on Sunday. Allen hauled in four of his five targets for 20 yards with two touchdowns during the Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Normally, Allen is an afterthought, but he was able to make the most of his chances during Sunday's win. This big performance could lead to more opportunities for Allen down the road. He might be someone worth stashing in deep leagues, but he won't be an ideal streaming option against the Los Angeles Chargers next weekend
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) is not expected to be ready for Week 8 as he remains on Injured Reserve, according to Adam Schefter. Ferguson's recovery is described as taking "some time," which is a setback for the 2-4 Rams and fantasy managers. He has been out since Week 3, catching 7 of 12 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in his first three games this season
Two of the Rams defensive backs are uncertain to play Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Trent McDuffie (groin) and safety Kam Curl (ankle) are both listed as questionable. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters that Trent McDuffie felt something in his groin at the end of Thursday’s session, so the team held him out of Friday’s practice out of an abundance of caution. McDuffie has registered seven passes defensed and an interception so far in 2026. The rest of the Rams are good to go, including tight end Davis Allen (foot) who missed the first two days of the practice week. He was limited in Friday’s session. Receiver/returner Alex Bachman (wrist), linebacker Nate Landman (wrist/shoulder), tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder), linebacker Omar Speights (knee), offensive lineman Keagan Trost (hamstring), and cornerback Josh Wallace (shoulder) are the other players who are off the injury report
Davis Allen has been removed from the injury report for Sunday's game
Several Rams players listed on the injury report, including safety Kam Curl, OL Keagen Trost, WR Alex Bachman, TE Davis Allen, ILB Nate Landman, TE Colby Parkinson, CB Josh Wallace, and ILB Omar Speights
Davis Allen's foot injury may leave him sidelined in Week 6, but has little impact on fantasy value
The Rams did not practice Wednesday, two days after losing to the Bills in overtime. Thus, their injury report was estimated. The Rams list inside linebacker Nate Landman as limited with wrist and shoulder injuries. Wide receiver Alex Bachman (rest), tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) and cornerback Josh Wallace (shoulder) were also limited. Tight end Davis Allen (foot) was the only player who didn’t practice for the Rams. Inside linebacker Omar Speights (knee) was a full participant
Allen (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the Rams' estimated injury report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Allen is dealing with an apparent foot injury, and although Los Angeles didn't practice Wednesday, the tight end was considered unavailable. Allen reeled in both of his targets for 24 yards during Monday night's overtime loss to the Bills, and he may have suffered the injury during the contest. The 25-year-old will have two more chances to practice prior to Sunday's contest versus Arizona
Adds: Davis Allen
Terrance Ferguson expected to have minimal stay on Injured Reserve, likely returning in Week 8
When asked if tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) being unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles opens the door for rookie Max Klare to see more snaps this week, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said, "It certainly does. Obviously, being able to play with multiple tight ends has become a big part of our identity, and so it absolutely does." Klare, the 61st overall pick in the second round in April's NFL Draft from Ohio State, has not played a single snap on offense through the first three weeks, but it sounds like that is going to change this weekend with both Ferguson and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) potentially inactive. The problem for Klare is that the Rams also have Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen in the mix at TE, and they should be the favorites for more targets in the passing game from quarterback Matthew Stafford against the Eagles. Higbee caught eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and his first touchdown of the year in Sunday night's loss to the Denver Broncos after both Ferguson and Parkinson aggravated their injuries and left the game
Allen caught his only target for seven yards in Monday night's win over the Giants. The tight end played 52 percent of the offensive snaps, trailing both Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson at the position on a night the Rams again used a heavy dose of tight ends with Puka Nacua (hip) inactive. Allen would need an injury ahead of him to enter the conversation for fantasy
Terrance Ferguson may see a bigger role for the Rams due to injuries to Jordan Whittington and Puka Nacua
When the Los Angeles Rams signed tight end Tyler Higbee to a new contract during the offseason, it seemed like they had a plan to incorporate him heavily on offense. After all, he was slated to be a free agent and the Rams already had a very crowded tight end room featuring Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson, so re-signing him indicated that he should have a significant role. However, that wasn't the case in Week 1, as he played just 20% of the offensive snaps despite tight end Davis Allen (concussion) leaving the game early. Higbee did haul in two passes in the loss, but he also lost a fumble. Between the crowded position group, his low volume, and last week's fumble, it will be difficult for Higbee to maintain a role with any sort of fantasy relevance going forward. He can be dropped to waivers in most leagues
