Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Brock Bowers

Monday, December 15, 10:48 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (knee, hamstring) was listed on Monday's practice report as a non-participant, per John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Adams was forced to exit early from the Rams' Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. Los Angeles did not actually hold a practice on Monday, so Monday's report is an estimation of his status leading into the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Across 14 games this season, Adams has hauled in 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. If he's unable to play in Week 16, Rams wideouts Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell could see increased roles. Los Angeles tight end Colby Parkinson, who caught two touchdowns against Detroit, could also continue to see more targets.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has been a terrific fantasy football contributor lately. In six weeks since returning from injury, Bowers is averaging 5.7 catches, 65.7 yards, and one touchdown per game, and he ranks as the overall TE2 in half-PPR leagues during that span. He has posted double-digit fantasy points in five of those six contests, and he has found the end zone in each of his last two games. All in all, Bowers has been one of the few bright spots in Las Vegas' otherwise bleak offense. Because of that, we expect that he'll continue to thrive as a strong fantasy option when quarterback Kenny Pickett replaces Geno Smith (back, shoulder) in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Bowers should serve as a dependable high-volume target in this Pickett-led offense despite the Eagles allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Bowers has shown that he is matchup-proof and should be started in all leagues, regardless of opponent. That's why he ranks as the overall TE3 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.
