Davante Adams keeps inching toward another slice of NFL history, and the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver is now one touchdown away from moving past a Hall of Famer in the league’s record book.
Adams has wasted no time finding the end zone in the 2026 NFL season. Through the Rams’ first five games, he has already scored four touchdowns, including multi-score outings in Week 2 against the New York Giants and Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. That kind of production has him climbing a list that already includes plenty of elite company.
With 121 career receiving touchdowns, Adams is still well behind Jerry Rice, who owns the all-time record with 197 touchdown catches. But the next time Adams scores, he’ll jump into sole possession of No. 6 all time in receiving touchdowns by moving past Larry Fitzgerald, who he is currently tied with.
At 33, Adams’ long-term place on the leaderboard depends on how long he keeps going. Still, if he remains on this track for a few more seasons beyond 2026, cracking the top five doesn’t sound like a stretch. Marvin Harrison sits at No. 5 with 128 touchdown receptions, and Cris Carter is right above him with 130.
The numbers only reinforce what Adams has been doing for years: scoring touchdowns at a pace that keeps him in the conversation with the game’s most reliable finishers. The next chance to add to that total comes Sunday when the Rams face the Arizona Cardinals at 4:05 ET on Fox.

Ex-Rams Kicker Harrison Mevis Draws Fresh Heat After Release
Harrison Mevis short run with the Rams ended the same way kicking jobs often do in this league, with one bad performance carrying outsized consequences. After missing key field goals against the Bills, the former Los Angeles kicker was let go, closing out a stretch in which he had made five of nine field goal attempts while converting all 14 extra-point tries.
Mevis release has since been followed by another wave of attention online, with social media posts alleging he liked Instagram accounts belonging to high school girls. The claims are being spread through screenshots and have not been independently confirmed, but they have added an awkward off-field layer to a departure that was already defined by pressure, inconsistency, and a team looking for more stability at the position.

Rams Just Caught A Break In This NFC West Matchup
A division game always gets a little more interesting when one side has to shuffle its plans, and the Rams just got a bit of relief on that front. Arizona ruled out rookie running back Jeremiyah Love for Week 6 because of an ankle injury, another setback in a season that has already been interrupted by health issues. He did not practice this week, which left little doubt he would not be available for Sunday.
From Los Angeles perspective, the absence changes the look of the Cardinals offense and puts more on Tyler Allgeier to carry the backfield load. There is no specific timetable for Loves return, so the Rams will line up against a familiar NFC West opponent without having to account for one of Arizonas more intriguing young pieces.

Rams Just Caught A Break In The Cardinals Passing Game
The Cardinals decision to send Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston changes the look of their passing game in a hurry, and its the kind of move the Rams had reason to notice. Harrisons production this season had been limited, but his presence still mattered for an Arizona offense that needed every reliable target it could get. Now the Rams are facing a division rival without one of the most recognizable names in the receiving room.
For Los Angeles, the break is twofold: one less weapon to account for and one less player who has given their defense problems in the past. It also means the Rams can expect more attention to shift toward Arizonas other options, which should make the assignment a little clearer for a defense preparing for a familiar NFC West opponent. Even if the Cardinals try to adjust quickly, this is the sort of midseason change that can alter a matchup before it ever kicks off. [Read more 🡒]
