The Los Angeles Rams head into enemy territory to face the Las Vegas Raiders. The Rams are off to a disappointing 2-4 start to the year. They’ve been dealing with a ton of injuries. Kickoff is at 4:25 PM ET, and you can watch on Fox!
They lost Davante Adams to a hamstring injury, and he’s expected to be out 6-10 weeks. The Rams’ big offseason move was bringing in Myles Garrett, but he’s only suited up for one game because of a knee injury.

Nacua is a great player to start if you have him on your fantasy football roster. He will get even more targets due to Adams’ injury.
He can contribute in both the rushing and receiving game. Nacua has at least six receptions in the last three games and has totaled at least 100 receiving yards in those games. Matthew Stafford will look for his No. 1 wideout early and often.
