Chicago leads the NFL's five highest-scoring fantasy football running back groups with 195.9 combined PPR points, followed by Atlanta, the Los Angeles Rams, Detroit and Kansas City.

The Los Angeles Rams, sitting 2-4 after six games, sign veteran kicker Brandon McManus (35) as their third kicker of the 2026 season, following Blake Grupe’s torn ACL in the 18‑16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on September 24. McManus worked out alongside free‑agent 42‑year‑old Matt Prater, the NFL’s all‑time leader in 50‑plus‑yard field goals, but the Rams chose McManus to bring stability to a special‑teams unit plagued by injuries to Davante Adams and Poona Ford. With the NFC West race slipping—four games behind the 49ers—the Rams hope McManus can halt the slide before their week‑11 bye.

Few NFL teams generated as much hype as the Los Angeles Rams did during the offseason.

ESPN analyst Ben Solak says the Dallas Cowboys may trade wideout George Pickens before the Nov. 10 deadline if the 2‑4 team keeps losing. He cites Pickens’ slipping focus, the Cowboys’ $27.3 M franchise tag, and salary‑cap strain from adding cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Solak imagines Pickens landing with the Los Angeles Rams to replace Davante Adams or with the Kansas City Chiefs as a new deep threat for Patrick Mahomes. This week Pickens has logged 428 yards and 1 TD on 33 catches, highlighted by a 130‑yard, 9‑catch performance against Tampa Bay. The article also notes Dallas’ 66.9% chance to win the NFC East, upcoming Monday Night Football at Philadelphia, and recent trades involving Porter and other Steelers assets.

Davante Adams' hamstring rupture lands him on the Rams' IR for 6‑10 weeks, putting his potential return into Week 16 or 17 of the 2026 season. With the Rams sitting 2‑4 and playoff hopes fading, the article questions whether Adams will even suit up for a likely meaningless game. He entered L.A. in 2025 and logged 480 yards and four touchdowns this year, adding 19 total touchdowns since joining. As he heads into free agency in 2027, his final Rams appearance may already have been the loss to Arizona, leaving his future and chances for a Super Bowl uncertain.
The Rams face a massive injury wave ahead of their Week 7 clash with the Raiders. Myles Garrett remains sidelined, Terrance Ferguson and DT Kobie Turner are out, and WR Davante Adams is unavailable, prompting the promotion of WR Konata Mumpfield as the starter. Brandon McManus replaces Blake Grupe as kicker, while DT Tyler Davis and NT Ty Hamilton step in on the defensive line. With only Byron Young left healthy among the edge rushers, the Rams’ depth at both sides of the ball is severely tested, forcing Sean McVay to reshuffle snaps for players like Tutu Atwell, C.J. Daniels, and draft‑prospect Larrell Murchison.
The Los Angeles Rams will have to wait longer for tight end Terrance Ferguson to return from an ankle injury, adding to the team’s growing list of injury concerns.

The 35-year-old former Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has been a free agent since the Green Bay Packers cut him in May — now he joins the Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams have signed veteran free‑agent kicker Brandon McManus, marking their third (technically fourth) kicker change of the 2026 season. McManus, who beat out former NFL all‑pro Matt Prater in a Tuesday audition, will debut against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The 13‑year veteran, undrafted out of Temple in 2014, spent nine seasons with Denver (81.4% FG rate), then stints with Jacksonville, Green Bay (20/21 in 2024, 24/30 in 2025), and now joins a squad still cycling through specialists after Blake Grupe’s ACL tear. If McManus falters, Prater remains a fallback as L.A. continues its kicker carousel.
