The majority of those yards came on the 1 bomb. His #s were pretty pedestrian for weeks after that.

Also, neither Downs or Allen are 2021-era OBJ interms of pure ability. Allen is solid but I'm not losing any sleep about him becomin a 49er.

He had 5 receptions for 81 yards and a TD. He followed that up with 2 receptions for 28 yards and a TD and 6 receptions for 77 yards and a TD. That was during Games #2, #3, and #4 with the Rams. Your claim that it took "weeks" for him to become "integral to the offense" is false. Unless "weeks" means a couple weeks. And in that case, a WR we acquired would have a couple weeks before we played Green Bay.

Who is it that you seem to have wanted so badly? Who would've arrived to put our fears to rest?
Downs? Not a needle-mover for me.
BTJ? Too expensive and apparently a cast-off from JAX.
Allen? Hell, OBJ is a better deal.

Stefon Diggs or Keenan Allen.

I’m all good on OBJ. He’s washed. Love him, but he’s washed. If he still had anything left in the tank the Ravens, Giants, and Vikings wouldn’t have let him go.

A positive for the Rams is they play Arizona, then have 9 days off. They play Green Bay then have 7 days off. They play Kansas City and have 9 more days off. Then they play SF. Lots of time in between games to organize the WR room, particularly if they add an Aiyuk or OBJ. Or......just get through the Arizona and Green Bay games before getting Davante back for KC.

Davante Adams is projected to return on the early side of his 6–10 week recovery window, with the most likely return dates falling between November 25 and December 3, 2026.​

Detailed Timeline​

  • Adams ruptured his hamstring on October 18, 2026, requiring surgery and a 6–10 week recovery period. YahooYahoo
  • Rams head coach Sean McVay has repeatedly said he expects Adams back on the shorter end of that timeline. ComplexComplex
  • Earliest realistic return:
    • Wednesday, November 25, 2026 vs. Green Bay Packers (Week 12). YahooYahoo
  • Most likely return if the team opts for caution:
    • Thursday, December 3, 2026 vs. Kansas City Chiefs (Week 13). ComplexComplex

Summary​

Barring setbacks, Adams is expected back between late November and early December 2026, aligning with the Rams’ optimism about his accelerated recovery.

I don’t think Aiyuk is a culture fit here. Guy seems mentally unstable and hasn’t played football in over a year. He basically quit on his team last year.

We don't know all the facts. At this point for the remainder of the season if he gets released soon he is available when it's the Rams turn to pick him it's a viable option.

The breakdown of the Brandon Aiyuk saga reveals it was strictly a mix of both parties completely abandoning each other after a massive contract extension went entirely sideways. What started as a messy contract holdout in 2024 devolved into a total organizational divorce by late 2026. [1, 2, 3]

Wouldn’t that make him a culture fit here?

Nope.

If the Rams had two WRs in their 20s with no real injury history? I would be second guessing.

Adams was coming into his year 34 season with an extensive recent injury history.. and Puka always misses a game or two because of how he's used and plays.

It ain't hindsight.

Oh really, it's not hindsight?

Here is what you wrote in April after the draft:

Along the lines you're thinking (I think)... there were only 86 targets to WRs other than Nacua and Adams.

I think that outside of a major injury to Puka or Davante.. they'll be fine. And they could always still pick up a veteran who's still out there if they were worried.

You were not freaking out like you are now. Please sit down!

Good pull!

Here’s the thing.. I was wrong about the quality of the WR room.

I pointed out X Smith was the #3 and hoped he’d grow.

And if it’s hindsight, second guessing.. all fair.

The larger point ? That that line of thinking was wrong, is clear.

One big difference between me and others… that mistake doesn’t make me question McSnead & McVay’s ability to do their jobs.

Everyone makes mistakes.. and.. yeah.. their draft approach for this season was a mistake.
