The Los Angeles Rams came five points away from advancing to the Super Bowl this past season, falling to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship. A big reason why the Rams were able to advance that far in the postseason was WR Davante Adams and the resurgent season he had in his first full campaign in L.A.
Adams, 33, led the NFL in receiving touchdowns with 14 while hauling in 60 catches for 789 yards in 14 games. He was among the top fantasy football assets at wide receiver all season while healthy.

Despite being part of a formidable duo with Puka Nacua in Sean McVay’s offense, there have been rumors swirling about Adams being moved this offseason. McVay would later confirm those rumors that the team was considering moving Adams.
With that news, Matt Harmon doesn’t think the Rams will be sitting on their hands at pass-catcher during the 2026 NFL Draft this month. Harmon and Scott Pianowski discussed the prospect of L.A. selecting a wide receiver in the upcoming draft on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast.
Adams is likely in his final season with the Rams on an expiring contract, another reason why the team was shopping him. Meanwhile, Nacua has entered a holistic care facility amid off-field concerns. Behind those two, the WR room isn’t all that deep with names like Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith. Harmon believes we’re going to come away after this draft and be assessing a new receiver for McVay.

Pianowski reminds us of the durability issues that exist with Nacua, having dealt with injuries in college and in the pros. That could play a factor in the Rams’ decision to select a WR or TE. Pianowski also looks at the group mentioned above and doesn’t see a receiver who’s ready to take a step and contribute at a high level behind Nacua and Adams.
The Rams have seven picks in the 2026 NFL draft, including three in the first three rounds and three seventh-round picks. Last season, they selected TE Terrance Ferguson in the second round and added Mumpfield in the seventh.
