Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Calvin Austin III

Sunday, November 2, 9:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams picked up right where he left off before the team's Week 8 bye in Week 9. Adams recorded five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in the Rams' 34-10 blowout win over the New Orleans Saints. Adams has now hauled in five touchdown grabs over his last two games played. The 32-year-old is in the midst of an excellent first season in Los Angeles with 36 catches for 391 yards and eight touchdowns on 70 targets. Additionally, star Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ribs) exited Week 9 early due to a rib injury. Head coach Sean McVay said following the game that Nacua could have returned had the score been closer. Still, Adams would obviously stand to benefit from a target volume standpoint if Nacua were to miss time. Los Angeles will travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers in Week 10.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III will hope to bounce back from a quiet Week 8 in a Week 9 showdown with the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts. Fellow receiver Roman Wilson had a breakout showing last week, but it was Austin that logged the second-most snaps among Pittsburgh's wideouts behind DK Metcalf. While the Colts have been difficult to defeat on the scoreboard, they've proven beatable through the air, giving up the third-most fantasy points per game and most receptions to opposing receivers. Austin has the explosiveness to break a big play against this defense and should be involved in what is projected to be a high-scoring affair. However, the fourth-year pro has not been consistent enough to warrant consideration in most fantasy leagues. He should be viewed as a low-end flex option with upside in deeper leagues on Sunday.
