Davante Adams Somewhat Underwhelming Amidst Massive Target Share

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was targeted a team-high 11 times on Thursday, ultimately catching five passes for 88 yards in his team's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He has played relatively well this season, but his productivity has been overshadowed by Puka Nacua, who currently ranks as the overall WR1 in fantasy football. An 88-yard outing is nothing to scoff at, but managers were likely hoping for Adams to add a few more catches or a touchdown. His 22 catches on 46 targets this year are not Matthew Stafford's fault, but still concerning nonetheless. Managers should look for the duo to bounce back against the Ravens next week, with Adams ranking as a mid-to-low WR2.

Davante Adams Looks to Maintain Scoring Streak on Thursday Night

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has scored a touchdown in three consecutive games and will look to extend this streak on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Adams is the overall WR14 in PPR leagues this season, but he's averaging just 3.5 catches and 56 yards over his last two contests. If not for his touchdown tendencies, he would be more of a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3/flex this week. Against a 49ers defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, Adams is touchdown-dependent. He'll rank as a solid mid-range WR2, but managers should be prepared for him to post single-digit fantasy points if he can't find the end zone.

Adams missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday of this week and was listed on the injury report as questionable heading into Sunday. The veteran wideout has recorded 13 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns so far in 2025. Now that he's officially good to go, Adams is a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 4 against the Colts.

Davante Adams Not Expected to Have Major Restrictions Sunday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 4 without any major restrictions, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Adams is currently listed as questionable, and the Rams intend to be smart with him, but he should suit up while operating around 100 percent. Fantasy managers treat him like a full-go this week, which includes deploying him as a strong WR2 option in lineups. He has a touchdown in each of his last two games, ranking as the overall WR15 in fantasy football. This week, he faces the Colts, who have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to receivers but have not yet faced a duo as dominant as Adams and Puka Nacua.

Davante Adams Set To Play In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is likely to play through the injury on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Rams listed Adams as questionable after he missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. The first-year Ram has drawn an excellent 29 targets through three weeks, but caught only 13 of them. Still, he's been productive nonetheless with 213 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Against a middling Colts defense against fantasy receivers, Adams has WR1 potential.

Davante Adams Questionable, Rams Optimistic About Week 4 Status

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is practicing in a limited capacity on Friday after being held out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, per ESPN's Sarah Bishop. Adams will officially carry a questionable tag into his team's Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, but Rams head coach Sean McVay said he "feels good" about Adams' status for Sunday. The 32-year-old wideout has logged 13 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets through his first three games of 2025. If he is indeed able to play, Adams profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 4 against Indianapolis.

Davante Adams Trending Toward Missing Week 4?

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday, according to ESPN's Sarah Barshop. It puts Adams' status in doubt for the upcoming Week 4 matchup on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Sean McVay hasn't seemed too concerned about Adams missing this weekend, though, and merely called the veteran wideout's injury a sore hamstring. If the 32-year-old Pro Bowler can practice on Friday, he would appear to have a decent shot at suiting up against the 3-0 Colts. Adams has been a big part of the Rams' offense through three games in his first year with the team, as he's caught 13 of his 29 targets for 213 yards and two touchdowns. If he's active this weekend, Adams should be in all starting fantasy lineups. Check back on Friday for his official Week 4 status.

Davante Adams Sitting Out With Sore Hamstring, Expected to Play in Week 4

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday after he came in "a little sore," per Sarah Barshop of ESPN. McVay added that he doesn't expect Adams' injury to affect his game status for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the 3-0 Indianapolis Colts. It's something worth watching this week, but as long as the 32-year-old veteran can practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be good to go on Sunday against the Colts. Adams has had at least eight targets in each of his first three games with the Rams in 2025 and comes into Week 4 with 13 catches on 29 targets for 213 yards and two touchdowns. He has scored in each of the last two games, and he should continue to be a target hog, alongside Puka Nacua, making him a must-start in weekly fantasy lineups.

Davante Adams Exploding Even as Teammates Thrive

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to produce at a high level despite vying for opportunities alongside a star-studded group of teammates, including Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. Adams caught three of his eight targets for 56 yards in Week 3, making up for his low reception total with modest yardage and a big score. He now has 213 yards and two touchdowns this season, ranking as the overall WR14 in PPR leagues. At the same time, Williams is the overall RB15 and Nacua is the overall WR1, so it's not like Adams has the show all to himself. Nevertheless, the talented veteran receiver is producing at a high level within a strong offense during his age-32 season. He remains in must-start territory for the rest of the season, regardless of matchup. A potential shootout against the Eagles in Week 4 bodes well for Adams' fantasy value.

Davante Adams Still A Must-Start Despite Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to rank in must-start territory ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. After a relatively quiet season opener, the veteran was promised more opportunities in the passing game, and Matthew Stafford delivered. Adams caught six of 13 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown last week, giving him momentum ahead of Week 3. While this week's matchup is tough -- the Eagles have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to receivers -- Adams should still be able to produce as a mid-range WR2 in fantasy football, especially if Los Angeles adopts a somewhat negative game script.

Davante Adams Headlines Rams Receiving Corps Sunday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught six of his 13 targets for a team-leading 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Rams vowed to get Adams more involved this week, and that's exactly what happened, as the veteran pass catcher carved out an impressive 39.4 percent target share. Although he finished with fewer fantasy points than Puka Nacua for the second week in a row, what's more important is that both Nacua and Adams scored at least 22.5 points (PPR). Week 2 showed that the two can easily co-exist in a Matthew Stafford-led offense, which bodes well for their respective fantasy values going forward. Heading into Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Nacua is a low-end WR1 while Adams is a mid-to-high WR2. Both have high-end WR1 upside, though.

Rams Want to Get Davante Adams More Involved in Week 2

The Los Angeles Rams want to feature veteran wide receiver Davante Adams more often during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Tennessee Titans. "Sean McVay was pleased with what the Rams accomplished in the passing game in Week 1, but getting Davante Adams a bit more involved will be a goal against [the] Titans," writes Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Adams finished his Rams debut with eight targets, four catches, and 51 yards. It was a fine showing for the veteran receiver, but certainly not on par with his full potential. Speaking with Klein, Adams said that he's trying to contribute however he can, and the number of targets he receives is not his concern. He noted that he thinks his and Puka Nacua's roles will vary week by week. If one player is having a big game, they'll command more attention from the defense, leaving the other receiver with opportunities to make plays happen in one-on-one coverage. As it stands, both players are strong WR2 options with WR1 upside.

Davante Adams Ranks in WR2 Range Given His Matchup

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams should rank as a mid-to-low WR2 in fantasy football this week against the Tennessee Titans. While Adams has WR1 upside every week, he might not reach his full potential this week given his matchup with Tennessee. With Los Angeles heavily favored to win, the Rams could choose to run the ball and drain the clock, resulting in fewer pass attempts. That's at least a little concerning for Adams, who is already competing for targets with Puka Nacua. Furthermore, Tennessee's pass defense is very respectable. The Titans' secondary intercepted Bo Nix twice last week and held Courtland Sutton to a modest six catches. Adams has the talent and role needed to be a fantasy starter in all leagues, but it's fair to have some questions about his ceiling given this week's matchup. Adams is best viewed as a WR2 this week.

Davante Adams a Strong WR2 in Rams Debut

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams will make his team debut against the Houston Texans on Sunday, and he carries significant value as a mid-to-low WR2 option. While Puka Nacua is expected to be the No. 1 receiver in Los Angeles, Adams will step in as an immediate contributor alongside him. Splitting last year between the Raiders and Jets, the veteran averaged 6.1 catches, 75.9 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game. Now, with the Rams, he gets a quarterback upgrade while playing in an offense that should find the end zone far more often. Plus, he opens the year with a favorable matchup; the Texans allowed the eighth-most fantasy points and second-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2024.

Davante Adams Feels Rejuvenated With Rams

The Los Angeles Daily News' Adam Grosbard reports that veteran wide receiver Davante Adams feels rejuvenated with the Los Angeles Rams and is already helping Puka Nacua and the team's other pass-catchers. Adams was traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets midseason last year to work with buddy Aaron Rodgers. While the 32-year-old six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro saw plenty of volume, he wasn't exactly efficient and finished the year with 85 grabs on 141 targets for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 starts. He's now working with veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, which is good news, but the volume probably won't be there like it has been while he shares targets with Nacua, who figures to be Stafford's favorite target. RotoBaller has Adams ranked as the No. 19 fantasy wideout, with Nacua coming in at No. 3.

Davante Adams Making Positive Impact on Puka Nacua

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua said he has already learned a lot from veteran wideout Davante Adams. Since gaining knowledge from the 11-year NFL veteran, Nacua's route-running has looked sharper in practice, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. It appears Nacua is using more of the "elusive" methods off the line of scrimmage instead of the brute force he often applies at the start of his routes. The 24-year-old is already one of the best wideouts in the NFL after ranking in the top 10 in yards per route run against man coverage (seventh) and zone coverage (first), but the former fifth-rounder in 2023 could become even more deadly if he adds some finesse to his physical style of play. Nacua set the rookie receiving record in 2023 and was more efficient in 2024 despite not reaching 1,000 yards due to a knee injury. Injuries could be an issue, but Nacua is a high-end WR1 otherwise.

Davante Adams Signing With LAR

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, former New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. The contract is worth up to $46 million, with $26 million guaranteed. Wow. Adams is coming off an up-and-down season that started in Las Vegas but ended in New York with the Jets after a mid-October trade that reunited him with long-time teammate and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The sentiment was that the veteran wideout would follow Rodgers to his new destination; however, it appears the Rams got to him first. It's excellent timing for LA, who is preparing to move on from star WR Cooper Kupp. Adams will now line up across from Puka Nacua, spelling a formidable duo for any defensive backfield to run with. With the news that Matthew Stafford is returning to the team, too, the Rams' offense just got a whole lot more interesting for 2025.

Jets Releasing Davante Adams

The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Davante Adams on Tuesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Just several days ago, the Jets announced they were open to trading Adams, but everyone knew the most likely outcome was that they'd cut the 32-year-old wideout after deciding that they were moving on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler caught 67 of 114 targets for 854 yards and seven touchdowns from Rodgers in his 11 starts with the Jets, ultimately recording his fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign in 2024 -- he had 209 receiving yards in three games with Vegas before being traded. Adams' best bet for continued high-end fantasy production could be to follow Rodgers wherever he goes, but the future Hall of Fame QB may not be guaranteed a starting gig anywhere. By cutting Adams, the Jets will incur a $38.2 million salary cap hit in 2025.

Jets Taking Calls On Davante Adams

The New York Jets are taking calls on star wide receiver Davante Adams and are open to trading him before the start of the new league year on March 12, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Given Adams' $38.2 million salary cap number for the 2025 season, it comes as no surprise. If the Jets can't find any takers for Adams, they are expected to release him. If the 32-year-old veteran becomes a free agent, he could follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to be cut by the Jets soon, for the third time in their careers. The Jets acquired Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders last October and the three-time All-Pro caught 67 of 114 targets for 854 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 starts. Although the Jets were a big disappointment and missed the playoffs, Adams had his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. His 2025 fantasy value will depend on where he ends up.

Davante Adams Could Force His Release

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is unlikely to want to return in 2025 with the team parting ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Adams' contract is structured in a way that would give him the power to ultimately force his release. Adams has a $38.25 million salary cap hit in 2025, although none of his $35.6 million salary is guaranteed. The expectation is that New York will cut or trade Adams and save $29.8 million in cap space while taking on $8.3 million in dead money. It's unclear where the 32-year-old veteran will end up, but it's possible he'll follow Rodgers to another team if Rodgers doesn't retire. Although the Jets couldn't turn things around after trading for Adams, he ended up finishing with his fifth straight 1,000-yard season despite playing in only 14 regular-season games.
