Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Calvin Austin III

Wednesday, October 8, 2:26 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has continued to produce despite being second in the pecking order on his own team. The veteran receiver has 357 yards and three touchdowns this year, making him a high-end WR2 for week-by-week fantasy lineups. While Puka Nacua has earned the bulk of the attention in Los Angeles, Adams has made a significant impact, too, and his productivity so far should not be overlooked or taken for granted. The 32-year-old represents a safe, dependable WR2 or high-end flex option heading into Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. Austin III suffered the injury in Week 4, so it's not a great sign that it's still keeping him out of practice with Pittsburgh coming off a Week 5 bye. The 26-year-old has recorded 10 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets in four games so far this season. If Austin III is unable to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, Steelers wideouts Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek, and Scotty Miller could all see an uptick in snaps. However, the only Steelers wide receiver that should be on the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6 against Cleveland remains DK Metcalf.
