"Puka Nacua stole the show. Davante Adams was a supporting player. That was the story for the star receivers in the Rams' season-opening victory over the Houston Texans. No one was complaining. Except, perhaps, fantasy football players who drafted Adams. "That's not in the forefront of my mind," Adams, chuckling, said this week. "I know they think it is. I'm just out here trying to win games and contribute and make plays when I can.""
"As the season progresses - starting with Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville - coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford are apt to even out the targets. "I'm excited about being able to learn - and it's a good thing to be able to figure out how to get those guys involved," McVay said as the Rams prepared for a Titans (0-1) team that will be playing its home opener."
Sean McVay expressed satisfaction with the Rams' passing game while indicating plans to involve Davante Adams more. Puka Nacua caught 10 passes for 130 yards despite briefly leaving to get stitches above his eye. Davante Adams, in his Rams debut, caught four passes for 51 yards and emphasized a focus on winning and contributing rather than target counts. Matthew Stafford and McVay are expected to even out targets as the season continues, beginning with the upcoming game at Nissan Stadium against the Tennessee Titans. The Rams enter the matchup after recent postseason success and notable roster changes.
