Mumpfield caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Monday night's win over the Giants.
With Puka Nacua (hip) out for Week 2 against New York, Mumpfield saw elevated snaps and actually led all Los Angeles wideouts with a 69 percent snap share on offense. It didn't translate to a notable increase in opportunities from Matthew Stafford, as Mumpfield is deep down the pecking order for targets.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Poised for bigger role sans Nacua
Rotowire
With Puka Nacua (hip) inactive, Mumpfield is expected to serve as the Rams' WR2 behind Davante Adams against the Giants on Monday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) is also inactive, so Mumpfield is expected to take on a larger role on offense for Monday's game, though the Rams will also likely lean more heavily on tight ends Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson in 13-man personnel. Mumpfield failed to haul in his lone target while logging 16 offensive snaps during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Draws just one target Thursday
Rotowire
Mumpfield did not catch his only target during the Rams' 27-7 loss against the 49ers in Week 1.
Mumpfield lined up for 16 of the Rams' 61 offensive snaps in Week 1, and he played six snaps on special teams. As long as two-time Pro Bowler Puka Nacua and veteran Davante Adams are available, there likely won't be room for any other Rams wide receivers to draw many targets.
Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Ends regular season with a dud
Rotowire
Mumpfield failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.
The seventh-round pick out of Pittsburgh had a fairly quiet rookie year, finding a modest amount of playing time as a backup but never really gaining much momentum on the stat sheet. Mumpfield finished the regular season with a 10-92-1 line on 23 targets, ahead of only Blake Corum's 36 receiving yards. There were a few positives for Mumpfield, as he was on the field for all 17 regular-season contests, and he saw regular usage as a primary backup for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring) on offense alongside Xavier Smith after mostly staying on the bench for the first six games of the season. Mumpfield will get his first taste of the NFL postseason on Saturday, as the Rams travel to Carolina for a wild-card showdown.
Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Struggles in elevated role
Rotowire
Mumpfield secured two of five targets for 10 yards during Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.
For the second straight week, Mumpfield brought in less than half of his targets from Matthew Stafford, including an overthrown pass in the second quarter that Jessie Bates intercepted and returned 34 yards for a touchdown. Mumpfield has gotten an extended look in the last six weeks, with at least 20 snaps played on offense during each contest, but an 8-80-0 receiving line on 17 targets over that span doesn't inspire much confidence for fantasy purposes. Week 18 against the Cardinals still has meaning for the Rams in terms of playoff seeding, but even with Davante Adams (hamstring) still recovering from injury, Mumpfield's production seems unlikely to deviate much from his recent trends.
Mumpfield secured three of eight targets for 40 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Mumpfield helped fill in for the sidelined Davante Adams (hamstring/knee) and drew the second-most targets on the night from Matthew Stafford, although he still only got to half of team leader Puka Nacua's total. Mumpfield wasn't efficient with his opportunities, but he still finished with new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Mumpfield could continue in an expanded role in a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29 if Adams remains sidelined for that contest.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Helps fill in for Adams in Week 15
Rotowire
Mumpfield failed to haul in his lone target while playing 32 of the Rams' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Mumpfield's 44 percent snap share placed him third among Rams wideouts behind Puka Nacua (56 percent) and Davante Adams (46 percent). Nacua's snap count was suppressed due to a mid-game bout with cramps, while Adams aggravated a hamstring strain during the contest. With Adams' availability for Thursday's game against the Seahawks seemingly in jeopardy, Mumpfield would likely stand to be one of the main beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint if the six-time Pro Bowler is unable to play. However, the Rams are also likely to lean heavily on two, or even three, tight-end packages like they did this past Sunday, when Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen all handled snap shares exceeding 70 percent. With that in mind, Mumpfield may not shape up as an especially enticing fantasy option.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Upgrades to full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Mumpfield (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
The return to full participation is a great sign for Mumpfield, who had his most productive game of the season in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. If the wide receiver avoids a setback Friday, he will likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Limited by calf injury
Rotowire
Mumpfield (calf) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Mumpfield had his most productive game of the season in Week 12, logging two receptions for 25 yards while playing 42 percent of offensive snaps. He was also apparently banged up in the process, leaving his status unclear for a Week 13 matchup against the Panthers.
Mumpfield played 30 snaps on offense during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Despite another big day from Matthew Stafford (24-of-32 for 281 yards and four touchdowns), Tutu Atwell (hamstring) being out and Puka Nacua (chest) missing a chunk of the second half, Mumpfield failed to keep the momentum from his first NFL touchdown in Week 7 against the Jaguars in London. Mumpfield could find himself with a bigger role if Nacua's injury persists into a Week 10 divisional showdown with the 49ers, with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington also vying for additional playing time behind Davante Adams.
