Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He aggravated his knee injury on Thursday and did not practice on Friday. But Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer said this afternoon that Nacua will be a “full go” today. Get him in fantasy lineups.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) will be a "full-go" against the Seahawks later today, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. Get Nacua into Week 9 fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Adam Schefter tweets that Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is expected "to be able to try to play" vs. the Seahawks today. It's notable wording from Schefter -- and a reminder that Nacua comes with elevated risk in Week 9 fantasy lineups after aggravating his knee injury in Thursday's practice. See where Nacua sits in the Week 9 WR Rankings.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini expects Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) to play vs. the Seahawks tomorrow. It doesn't exactly read like a sourced report, but Russini likely has some insider knowledge here. We'll likely get further updates on Nacua over the next 24 hours, but we're currently projecting him to play against Seattle. He'll obviously carry elevated risk in Week 9 fantasy lineups after aggravating his knee injury on Thursday. But we're also talking about a guy who went for 106 yards on just two days of practice last week. Nacua will be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups if he ends up active.

The Rams are listing WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. Nacua was added to Thursday's injury report after injuring the same knee that cost him time earlier this season. We'll see what he does on Friday. But HC Sean McVay said before Friday's practice that he "wouldn't bet against [Puka Nacua] playing." We're sure to get more updates on Nacua's status between now and kickoff at 4:25 pm ET on Sunday.

Update: Nacua won't practice on Friday, McVay said. He added that Nacua "banged his knee" in practice on Thursday but suffered no structural damage.

Jets WR Davante Adams sealed the win on Thursday night with a 37-yard TD on a slot fade late in the fourth quarter. Adams beat CB Jalen Pitre with a quick release at the line of scrimmage and created a few steps of separation to make it an easy throw for QB Aaron Rodgers. It was Adams' first TD as a Jet and part of a strong 7-91-1 outing. Adams and Rodgers struggled getting on the same page in the first half, connecting on just four of eight targets for 25 yards. But they were on point over the final 30 minutes, including a key 17-yarder on fourth-and-one in the third quarter. Adams' head hit the turf at the end of that catch. He went into the locker room to be checked for a concussion but was cleared to return, setting up the fourth-quarter TD.

Rams WR Puka Nacua's knee injury is "not believed to be serious," a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nacua's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks is uncertain, though, Schefter adds. The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue reports that this latest injury is to the same knee that sidelined Nacua for most of August and Weeks 2 through 7. We'll keep you updated on his status for Week 9 and beyond.

Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early today with a knee injury on the same knee that was previously injured. Nacua officially had a "Limiited" practice, but his status for Week 9 is up in the air now. Nacua previously missed six weeks with an injury to that right knee.

Rams WR Puka Nacua hauled in 7 of 9 targets for 106 yards in Thursday night's win over the Vikings. All three marks led the team. It was a super impressive performance from a guy who'd been out since Week 1 and had practiced just twice since coming off IR. Nacua's playing time was scaled back a bit: He played 56% of the offensive snaps and ran a route on 67% of pass plays. But his previous knee injury didn't seem to be a factor when he was on the field. Nacua created plenty of separation and ran with his usual oomph after the catch.

Rams QB Matt Stafford accounted for all 4 of the team's TDs in Thursday night's 30-20 win over the Vikings. He got rolling early with a 5-yard score to RB Kyren Williams on the Rams' first possession of the night. Stafford's most impressive TD came in the second quarter. He spun away from one Vikings defender, ducked under another, and then fired a laser to WR Cooper Kupp in the back of the end zone from 7 yards out. Stafford connected with WR Demarcus Robinson for his third and fourth scores in the second half. He finished 25 of 34 (74%) for 279 yards (8.2 YPA), 4 TDs, and 0 INTs.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is officially active for tonight's game vs. the Vikings. It'll be his first action since Week 1. Nacua just returned to practice on Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a couple of hours ago that the Rams wouldn't decide until pregame warmups how much Nacua will play tonight. We'll look for any further updates on that front, but it's a good bet that he'll be on some type of snap count. As of now, we'd lean toward sitting Nacua in most cases. His receiving line prop on most sportsbooks is set around 29.5 yards.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) has been activated from IR, setting him up to play vs. the Vikings tonight. It's a major surprise considering Nacua got in just two limited practices this week -- his first two since going down way back in Week 1. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero suggested this morning that Nacua would likely be on a snap count if he played tonight, which certainly makes sense. His fantasy floor and ceiling are significantly lower than usual for Week 8, but he might still make sense as a starter for your team. Check your Team Intel tool to see how Nacua stacks up against the rest of your players this week.

We chuckled when the Rams listed WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. He's practiced just twice -- Tuesday and Wednesday -- since going down in Week 1. But, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, "there is now optimism" that Nacua could play Minnesota.

The Rams have ruled LB Troy Reeder (hamstring) out for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. That'll leave the defense without its top LB. It's not clear who will take over his spot, next to Christian Rozeboom. Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic said Wednesday that she expects to see both Jake Hummel and Omar Speights "get a shot." Rams DC reportedly said the team is "working through" who'll wear the green helmet dot and relay defensive play calls. Rozeboom looks like the only usable Rams LBs in IDP leagues. DL Braden Fiske (back) is questionable for the game as well. We'll check his status Thursday evening.

Rams WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. It sure would have been nice of the Rams to have ruled him out last week. Instead, Whittington was active but ran 0 pass routes. His absence leaves Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, and Tyler Johnson behind Cooper Kupp against Minnesota.

The Rams list WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. He's questionable in the same way I'm questionable to break 70 on the golf course. In other words, we'd be shocked if Nacua played tomorrow after getting in just two official practices since his Week 1 knee injury. He should remain parked on fantasy benches for now.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) has been designated to return from IR. He'll get back on the practice field on Tuesday but is very unlikely to play vs. the Vikings on Thursday night. Barring a setback, though, Nacua should have a chance to make it back for Week 9's meeting with the Seahawks. With WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) set to return on Thursday, QB Matt Stafford is getting close to having his full arsenal back. He could be a fantasy factor even in 1-QB leagues over the second half of the season.

Jets WR Davante Adams wasn’t limited in his first game with the Jets. Coming off a hamstring strain, the veteran played 55 snaps and ran 39 routes – only one fewer than Garrett Wilson. Still, Adams caught only 33% of his targets in Sunday’s blowout loss to Pittsburgh.

In a superb match-up, Williams ran for 2 TDs in the Rams win over the Raiders. He rushed 21 times for 76 yards, but did not see any targets in the game. He remains a top five RB option for the rest of the season.

Jets WR Davante Adams (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll make his Jets debut vs. the Steelers on Sunday night. Considering his familiarity with QB Aaron Rodgers, we’re projecting Adams to play close to a full allotment of snaps. He lands inside the top-24 WRs in the Week 7 Rankings.
