Rams take control early
Davante Adams caught eight passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns as the Los Angeles Rams beat the New York Giants 28-6 in Week 2 at SoFi Stadium. Los Angeles scored seven points in every quarter, building a 14-3 halftime lead and extending it to 21-6 through three quarters. The Giants scored three points in each of the middle two periods but went scoreless in the first and fourth. The Rams moved to 1-1 after opening with a 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. New York also sits at 1-1, following its 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys with a loss in which it never reached the end zone.
Stafford and Adams drive the offense
Matthew Stafford completed 22 of 31 passes for 327 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Adams accounted for more than half of those passing yards, turning 10 targets into the game's biggest receiving performance. Terrance Ferguson added six catches on nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. Kyren Williams caught Stafford's other touchdown pass, finishing with two receptions for 12 yards. The Rams also received substantial production from both running backs. Williams rushed 12 times for 85 yards, while Blake Corum gained 79 yards on the same number of carries. Together, they supplied 164 rushing yards on 24 attempts.
Giants struggle to produce
Cam Skattebo finished with 36 rushing yards on 12 carries and caught all four of his targets for 19 yards. His 55 yards from scrimmage offered limited relief for a New York offense held to six points. Isaiah Likely drew 10 targets but finished with five catches for 33 yards. Darnell Mooney gained 48 yards on two receptions, while Malachi Fields caught two of six targets for 30 yards.
Fantasy takeaways
Adams delivered the game's top fantasy return with 39.5 PPR points, followed by Stafford at 27.0. Ferguson's six catches and touchdown produced 17.4 points, giving him a productive outing on nine targets. Williams finished with 15.7 PPR points, with his receiving touchdown separating him from Corum's 10.2 despite their equal rushing workloads. That 12-carry split is a useful detail for fantasy managers weighing the two backs. Skattebo led the listed Giants performers with 9.5 PPR points. Likely's 10 targets translated into 8.3 points, while Mooney finished with 6.8.
Week 3 schedule
The Giants host the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 27 at 1 p.m. ET. The Rams visit the Denver Broncos that night at 8:20 p.m. ET.
