Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Davante Adams

Saturday, November 8, 5:11 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey took a while to get things going on the ground, but now has reached 100 rushing yards in two of his last three games. However, in the game between, McCaffrey put up his worst numbers of the year in a slog against the Houston Texans. On Sunday, McCaffrey again faces another tough opponent in the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, the sixth-fewest rushing yards, and have yet to give up a touchdown on the ground to the position. When the teams met in Week 5, McCaffrey had just 2.6 yards per carry but logged an 8-82-1 line as a receiver. Despite the difficult matchup, McCaffrey's talent makes him a weekly contender to finish as a top-12 back, and he should be locked into fantasy lineups this weekend.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has five touchdowns over his last two games, and he'll look to build on his scoring tendencies during Sunday's Week 10 clash with the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Adams already has eight trips to the end zone this year, tying his season totals from 2023 and 2024. He's averaging one score per game; extrapolated over a 17-game season, that would represent the second-best total of his career. We'll see if he can continue to score at this absurd rate, but even if he tails off slightly, he'll still be a solid fantasy WR1 every week. He has shown that he is matchup-proof and can co-exist alongside Puka Nacua, which is great news for Adams and his fantasy managers. He should be started in all leagues as he takes on a 49ers defense that has surrendered the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
