Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 2 Rankings
|
11.
Puka Nacua
WR - (vs . NYG)
The Rams season started a lot like Puka's offseason; shaky at best. So much for strategizing a 29-hour Australia trip; this team did not look ready to play football. At least, we hope this was a result of travel issues rather than team dynamics. Matthew Stafford was missing open throws, and this vaunted defense struggled to slow down Brock Purdy. Thankfully, a long reception from Puka saved his fantasy day and showcased why he remains an elite fantasy option. This week, they face the Giants, who just stunned the Cowboys at home. Holding Dak Prescott to 175 yards and CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to 73 yards is no small feat. Puka remains a top fantasy option, but if this Giants defense can replicate their performance, it may not be his best fantasy day.

Kyren Williams
RB - (vs . NYG)
Kyren Williams remains the lead back for the Rams. Last week, he was the RB15, finishing with 14 touches (three receptions), 65 total yards, and a touchdown. He played 63.2% of the snaps and handled all four red zone rushing attempts with the starting offense. Williams wasn't an efficient runner in Week 1 with only 1.45 yards after contact per attempt and one missed tackle forced. Williams should be able to grind out another solid stat line in Week 2. In Week 1, the Giants allowed the third-highest rushing success rate and 13th-most yards after contact per attempt while sitting at 16th in stuff rate.

Davante Adams
WR - (vs . NYG)
In Week 1, Adams struggled mightily as a fantasy producer because his quarterback couldn't deliver catchable targets. He had a 66.7% catchable target rate which isn't horrible, but it's definitely not great. Adams had a 21.4% target share and 28.6% first-read share in Week 1, which he turned into three receptions and 26 receiving yards (1.30 YPRR). Adams didn't see a red zone or deep target in Week 1. I'm willing to roll Adams out there again depending upon my options in Week 2. He'll face a Giants' secondary that just held CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and company to the tenth-fewest fantasy points per target and the fourth-fewest yards per target on the perimeter.

Blake Corum
RB - (vs . NYG)
Blake Corum is a volatile flex play. He played only 22.8% of the snaps in Week 1 while seeing zero targets. His value is totally dependent upon what he does on early downs. Corum also didn't see a red zone rushing attempt in Week 1, so he'll likely have to break off a big run, which is possible. Corum looked like he was shot out of a cannon in Week 1 with a 20% explosive run rate and 20% missed tackle rate. I'm likely not rolling Corum out as a flex unless it's a deep league and I'm desperate. In Week 1, the Giants allowed the third-highest rushing success rate and the 13th-most yards after contact per attempt while sitting at 16th in stuff rate. If the Giants take the lead in this game, Corum could easily get gamescripted out.

Terrance Ferguson
TE - (vs . NYG)
Terrance Ferguson remains only a dart-throw bench piece. In Week 1, he had only a 41.4% route share, 3.6% target share, and a 4.8% first-read share. This Rams tight end room could be a mess again in 2026. Only time will tell. Sit Ferguson until his playing time trends up.
