Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams crazed pace is impossible to miss

The comparison between the Los Angeles Rams of 2025 and the 2018 and 2021 Super Bowl-appearing versions of the team is more than wishful thinking. While there are some distinct differences, there are unmistakable similarities as well. And the trio of wide receivers Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, and running back Kyren Williams may be delivering one of the most unthinkable similarities of all.

Right now, the team's three most dangerous offensive threats are on an incredible pace after seven games. If they can sustain this rate, they will be on a frantic pace to smash 1000+ yards of offense this season. They are:

• WR Puka Nacua - 616 receiving yards | On pace for 1,500 receiving yards
• WR Davante Adams - 431 receiving yards | On pace for 1,050 receiving yards
• RB Kyren Williams - 472 rushing yards | On pace for 1,150 rushing yards

The last time Los Angeles enjoyed three players break the 1K barrier was 2018, when running back Todd Gurley (1,251 rushing yards, wide receiver Robert Woods (1,219 yards), and wide receiver Brandin Cooks (1,219 yards) did so. And that was an offense that was shut down in Super Bowl LIII because the New England Patriots determined that quarterback Jared Goff could not improvise.

Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is the Emperor of offensive improvisation.

Offensive records matter more than you might think in 2025

While individual records typically matter far more to Fantasy Football team owners than to the Los Angeles Rams, these three players matter a great deal to the success of this team this season. While 37-year-old veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is enjoying a banner season that resembles his prime, retirement is not far away.

LA is taking it one year at a time right now. Fans must do the same. That means, it comes down to getting it while the getting is good.

The Rams do not have a consensus successor to Stafford on the roster right now. That means that whether stated or hinted at, Los Angeles is all-in this year. But didn't we think this was a brand new strategy, emphasizing the future over the present? It seems that both facts can be true simultaneously.

If the team's veteran quarterback has a rapidly closing window of NFL competition, then records matter this season. It's a need to burn brightly together, to push individual player performances to their upper limit. If enough players do so, this season can be amazingly successful.

It's not about records or individuality. It's about synchronized excellence. Right now, one of the oldest active quarterbacks in the NFL is among the league's best at his position. It's to be expected that the most important contributors around him do the same.

As always, thanks for reading.
