Davante Adams Uncertain About Future After 2026 Season

Friday, July 31, 5:03 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is unsure whether 2026 will be his final NFL season or if he'll continue to play. The 13th-year receiver said this week that, "I've given (retirement) some thought. Right now, I'm just enjoying it. I can't tell you if it's going to be after this year or after next year. I truly don't know." In his first season with the Rams in 2025, he had 60 receptions for 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns in 14 games. With Matthew Stafford still playing at a high level and Adams remaining one of the NFL's most dangerous red-zone wide receivers, expect the veteran receiver to post low-end WR2 numbers in 2026.

Chase Brown Continues to Grow as a Receiver

Tuesday, August 4, 9:10 AM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown continues to show growth as a receiver. Joe Burrow said Brown has taken another leap catching the ball this offseason, while Charlie Clifford noted that the fourth-year back lined up wide for a couple of reps during Monday's 11-on-11 work. Brown already set a franchise record for a running back, halfback, or fullback with 69 receptions last season, turning them into 437 yards and five touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,019 yards and six scores, giving him 1,456 yards from scrimmage in his first full season as Cincinnati's lead back. A few snaps split out wide do not guarantee a major change in how the Bengals use him, but the look fits Brown's growing role as an all-around weapon. His receiving work remains a major part of his fantasy value, and any further expansion would make him even harder to take off the field.
