Is Davante Adams playing tonight? Why Rams' WR has started slow vs. 49ers on Thursday Night Football image

The Los Angeles Rams entered Thursday Night Football as heavy favorites.

Normally, a Rams matchup with the San Francisco 49ers would shape up to be a classic.

But this time, the 49ers were about as shorthanded as could be. Brock Purdy is out. George Kittle is out. Ricky Pearsall is out.

So the Rams were installed as touchdown favorites. They likely wouldn't even need contributions from all their stars.

And because of the Rams' weapons, they didn't need to use everyone in the early going.

Adams has been out there for every snap with his visor on and his long hair coming out of his helmet.

He's had three great games in a row and should see more action soon enough.
