The Philadelphia Eagles have built Hall of Fame-caliber résumés, and Donald has already begun reestablishing himself after returning from retirement.
Los Angeles has considerably more than two players capable of creating problems, however. Myles Garrett will miss Sunday’s game, but the Rams still possess established stars and emerging contributors who can exploit Philadelphia’s weaknesses. Here are six players the Eagles must account for in Week 4.
Kyren Williams, running back
Kyren Williams is doing plenty of damage both on the ground and through the air. He leads the Rams with 38 rushing attempts and 214 rushing yards, while his two total touchdowns tie for the team lead. Ten of those 38 carries have produced first downs, and he has scored once as a runner and once as a receiver.
Williams isn't doing it alone. He and Blake Corum have combined for 362 rushing yards through three games, giving Los Angeles a dangerous one-two punch in the backfield. Philadelphia cannot afford to let Williams establish a rhythm, because it would make everything else Stafford and the passing game want to do much easier.
Davante Adams, wide receiver
The legend keeps growing. Davante Adams leads all Rams in targets with 29, receptions with 18, receiving yards with 358, touchdowns with two, and receiving yards per game with 119.3. He has already produced 12 first-down receptions, which shows how consistently he moves the chains.
The Eagles' secondary will have to know where Adams is at all times. With Puka Nacua expected to return from his hip and groin injury, Adams may face fewer double teams, forcing Philadelphia's secondary to make another difficult coverage decision.
Konata Mumpfield, wide receiver
Konata Mumpfield isn't nearly as well-known nationally as Adams or Nacua, but he has already shown why Philadelphia can't afford to overlook him. He has 105 receiving yards on five catches through three games, including a touchdown, and his 21.0 yards per reception ranks among the most explosive figures on the Rams' roster.
That becomes even more interesting with Nacua's absence. Mumpfield gives Los Angeles another player who can create a chunk play when defenses devote extra attention to Adams, and the Eagles cannot afford to assume the Rams' passing attack begins and ends with its biggest name.
Quentin Lake, safety
Those outside the organization don't often talk about the Rams' defense, but here's an opportunity. Quentin Lake has been a tackling machine through three games.
Lake is averaging eight tackles per game, resulting in 24 total stops, including 17 solo tackles. He has also forced a fumble, broken up seven passes, and intercepted a pass. That is a significant collection of production for a defensive back who may not receive nearly the same attention as some of Los Angeles' more recognizable names.
Philadelphia's offense needs to know where Lake is because he can influence the game in multiple ways. Whether he's stepping downhill against the run or making a play in coverage, Lake has consistently found ways to get involved.
Kobie Turner, defensive end
Kobie Turner has yet to record his first sack of the season after producing seven in 2025 and 24 during his first three NFL seasons. The Eagles should be hoping that drought continues for another week, buthe's a great talent. He can catch fire at any point.
That doesn't mean Turner has suddenly stopped being disruptive. Sacks can come in bunches, and Philadelphia's interior offensive line cannot afford to let Turner settle into a rhythm as the game progresses. One or two successful rushes can become the beginning of a much bigger problem, particularly if Los Angeles starts creating obvious passing situations.
Omar Speights, linebacker
Omar Speights is a do-it-all linebacker who has already shown the versatility to affect several phases of the Rams' defense. Through three games, he has recorded 14 tackles, a sack, a pass breakup, and a forced fumble.
That kind of production makes Speights worth tracking when Philadelphia runs its preferred run-pass combinations. He can attack downhill, drop into coverage, and create disruption, giving Sean McVay's defense another piece that can change the look of a play after the snap.
Final analysis
The Eagles will have plenty of attention devoted to Stafford and the Rams' biggest stars, and they should. But beating Los Angeles will require Philadelphia to account for the players operating just outside that spotlight, too. If Williams, Adams, Mumpfield, Lake, Turner, and Speights get comfortable, the Rams will have more than enough complementary firepower to make Week 4 uncomfortable.
