Konata Mumpfield is being treated as a lock for the Rams 53-man roster, indicating strong confidence in his roster status heading into the final preseason game and roster cuts.NegativeDepth ChartAug 23, 2026
Listed as one of four wide receivers on the Rams' 53-man roster projection alongside Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Jordan Whittington; rested in both preseason games as an established roster player.NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Mumpfield is expected to compete for the WR3 role in the Rams offense in a revolving-door arrangement with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington; CJ Daniels' strong preseason performance has also entered him into the competition for snap share.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Tight end Konata Mumpfield is in a similar situation to what Ferguson faced last year: frequently open but not where starting quarterback Matthew Stafford expects him to be, and not strong at the catch point. The source notes that "Davante's opinion of him says a lot" and suggests letting him develop, indicating uncertainty about his 2026 fantasy viability despite his route running ability.PositiveRoleAug 21, 2026
Sean McVay praised Mumpfield for competing without the football—blocking, selling routes, and separating—calling him a sharp, savvy route-runner who is wired to separate and catching the ball really well. McVay noted Mumpfield has stepped up significantly, with coaching staff (Rob Calabrese, Eric Yarber, Robert Woods) helping him take his game to another level. In Puka Nacua's absence, Mumpfield has shown his value alongside Jordan Whittington, demonstrating he can contribute both with and without the ball in a crowded receiver room.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Seventh-round pick in 2025 competing for the Rams' WR3 spot alongside Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Smith, with sixth-round rookie CJ Daniels also in the mix. Finished his rookie season with 10 receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown across 17 games. None of the group has separated itself statistically in the competition for the third receiver role.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026
Konata Mumpfield is one of the biggest winners in the Rams preseason opener despite not suiting up, having graduated from preseason reps alongside Jordan Whittington. He is firmly in the Rams' top-4 wide receiver depth chart at the 3-4 slot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Mumpfield received an endorsement from veteran Adams in the offseason, something Adams rarely does for young receivers. The source suggests Mumpfield may have a higher ceiling and more room to grow than Whittington, who had 18 catches for 171 yards in 2025 compared to Mumpfield's 10 catches for 92 yards, noting that Mumpfield's trajectory is more promising.NegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
Listed as the second-string punt returner on the Rams depth chart behind Xavier Smith.NegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
WR3 candidate competing for receiver opportunities behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on the Rams' current depth chart; the source notes the third receiver role is extremely important and finding consistency from that position could force defenses to respect the entire width of the field.NegativeValueAug 6, 2026
The Rams selected Konata Mumpfield in a roundabout trade with Atlanta, sending Van Jefferson and a 2025 7th round pick for a 2025 6th round pick. The source rates this as a push and notes it is still too early to tell what the trade yielded for both teams.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026
Mumpfield is expected to make the 53-man roster as one of five wide receivers; the Rams are committed to 13 personnel which limits the number of receivers kept.NegativeDepth ChartAug 2, 2026
Konata Mumpfield is next in line after the near-locks (Nacua, Adams, Daniels, Whittington) for a Rams receiver spot. Mario Williams could make a push against Mumpfield and Xavier Smith if he continues to stack strong practice days.PositiveBreakoutJul 29, 2026
The source predicts Mumpfield records a five-catch game in his second season. Davante Adams believes Mumpfield is the truth, which is bold praise for a 2025 7th rounder. Mumpfield had only 10 catches last season but saw offensive snaps in all 17 games with snap share percentage hovering around 40-50% in the second half of the season, providing game experience that will be useful going into year two.NegativeDepth ChartJul 29, 2026
Competing for WR#3 role against Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith. While Rams coaches favor him, source views him as most vulnerable to replacement among the three candidates, suggesting limited job security despite coaching preference.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
Round 7 pick Mumpfield impressed Rams coaches from the beginning of preseason through the season; he played in all 20 games with 436 offensive reps and 73 special teams snaps; coaches praise his crisp route-running, showing understanding of angles, alternating tempo, and feel for space; he's crafty rather than speed-based, though athletic testing shows excellent burst, short-area agility, change of direction, and lower-body explosiveness; limited targets (23 regular season, 6 playoffs) with under 50% catch percentage suggest opportunity for increased role.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
Mumpfield appeared on 95.1% of fan-submitted 53-man rosters, indicating strong consensus that she will make the roster as a wide receiver.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
Competing for Rams WR3 role against C.J. Daniels, Jordan Whittington, and Xavier Smith. The WR3 position may not receive significant snap volume if McVay continues running 12 and 13 personnel concepts as he did in 2025, with the third receiver getting fewer snaps than the team's third tight end. The winner of the WR3 competition will be the player who best complements the two starters in backup capacity.
