Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson will reportedly be traded along with a 2025 seventh-round draft choice to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2025 sixth-round draft choice on Tuesday, Oct. 10.
| Footballguys view: With the emergence of rookie WR Puka Nacua and the return of veteran superstar WR Cooper Kupp, the Rams could move on from Jefferson. We'll continue to see more from WR Tutu Atwell, and WR Ben Skowronek could get an uptick in snaps too. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson will reportedly be traded along with a 2025 seventh-round draft choice to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2025 sixth-round draft choice on Tuesday, Oct. 10.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson now moves to a team with Drake London and Mack Hollins as the top two targets at the wide receiver position. We'll see how he works into the mix, and we're curious to see what kind of chemistry he can build with QB Desmond Ridder. A fresh start could be just what Jefferson needs. |

Rams | Van Jefferson could lead passing attack Sat Sep 2, 12:48 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson 'would step into the No. 1 receiver role' if WR Cooper Kupp (hamstring) isn't able to play in Week 1, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: We'll know more about Kupp's status leading up to the opener against the Seahawks. Kupp sustained a hamstring strain late last week which has his status in doubt. In addition to Jefferson, Puka Nacua and TuTu Atwell would be expected to do more if Kupp misses time. |

Rams | Stafford Confident in WR Jefferson Mon Jun 19, 04:51 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he and the team "feel confident" in WR Van Jefferson heading into the 2023 season.
| Footballguys view: There have been a couple of stories about Jefferson this offseason, and they've been positive about his 2023 outlook. He's been catching passes from Stafford this offseason, and we're curious to see how things look in training camp. In addition to the stories about Jefferson, rookie WR Puka Nacua has been getting a ton of hype this offseason from OTAs and mandatory minicamp. If Stafford can stay healthy this year, he'll have an array of receiving weapons to throw to. |

Rams | Van Jefferson working with QB Sun May 7, 12:13 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson has been working out with QB Matthew Stafford this offseason. 'It's good to just be out there and get some passes with him,' Jefferson said.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson and Stafford are working on the chemistry they were not able to strengthen last year due to injuries. We'll see if Jefferson can stay healthy and bounce back this season. In 2021, Jefferson posted WR3 numbers from a fantasy perspective. As the Rams' no.2 WR behind Cooper Kupp, Jefferson has flex appeal in 2023. |

Rams | Van Jefferson to play in Week 9 Sat Nov 5, 10:02 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson (knee) will make his season debut in Week 9's game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: If you need a 'what the heck' flex in Week 9, then Jefferson could be your guy. The Rams' passing attack doesn't provide much punch outside of superstar WR Cooper Kupp. Last week, Jefferson did play but was not targeted. We'll see if that changes this week as the Rams continue to struggle on offense. |

Los Angeles Rams LB Jake Hummel (hip) did not practice Friday, Nov. 4, and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jones (illness), WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) and LB Terrell Lewis (rest) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson should play a larger role this week as long as he is active. There's a chance Akers could turn this into a four-headed backfield. Allen getting back on the field could help an ailing offensive line. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson (knee) was activated from injured reserve on Saturday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson will be active in Week 8. The Rams could use the help at the position. Outside of Cooper Kupp, the team has seen Allen Robinson disappoint. We'll see if Jefferson can work to stretch the field for QB Matthew Stafford. In deeper leagues, Jefferson is worth taking a look at as a bench/stash player. |

Rams | Van Jefferson expected to play a lot in Week 8 Fri Oct 28, 02:31 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson (knee) will be monitored throughout the game, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday, Oct. 28, that he anticipates Jefferson to have 'a normal workload' in Week 8 versus the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson gives the team more of a downfield threat from the #3 receiver role, but the offensive line still needs to hold up to give Matthew Stafford time to find him. Jefferson isn't worth picking up, but he could help the offense perform better. |
