The Los Angeles Rams' star-studded offense is currently unrecognizable due to injury. Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson are on injured reserve with Puka Nacua likely joining them soon, leaving Matthew Stafford with hardly any weaponry in the passing game.
While Kyren Williams and Blake Corum have thrived on the ground, their jobs could get harder if opponents begin to stack the box more while disregarding Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell on the outside. Stafford, meanwhile, is already playing a couple notches below his MVP-level form of 2025.
So, the Rams need receiver help, and the clock is ticking to get it done with the trade deadline set for 4 p.m. ET. Here are four options for the Rams to improve their pass-catching.
Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers
A former first-round
pick, Johnston has been as explosive as he is inconsistent with the Chargers. He could use a change of scenery, and McVay could get the most out of his size, speed and field-stretching ability.
Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans
Ridley is well past his prime, but is still a quality route runner who would be enthusiastic about finally playing for a contender again.
Darnell Mooney, New York Giants
This is Mooney's first season as a part-time player since his rookie year in 2020. He'd instantly be one of the Rams' three best receivers when healthy, as he's only 29 and two years removed from a 992-yard season with the Atlanta Falcons.
Hollywood Brown, Philadelphia Eagles
Brown has been lost in the shuffle with Philadelphia, a team that's already begun a fire sale ahead of the deadline. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman would likely be content with getting any form of compensation for Brown, another 29-year-old with proven speed and NFL production on his resume.
