Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Chase Claypool

Friday, October 2, 10:17 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has been playing at an elite level lately, but he might cool off in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Teammate Puka Nacua has been cleared to return from his hip injury, dropping Adams back down to second in the pecking order in Los Angeles. It was an elite two-week stretch from Adams, who caught 15 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns as the de facto alpha receiver for the Rams. Given how well he played with Nacua sidelined, we expect that he'll have no trouble remaining a strong fantasy option in most leagues going forward. After all, this is a high-volume offense that has shown it can support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers. As a result, we're still recommending all managers start Adams in Week 4 against the Eagles. He may not be a WR1 lock, but he has legitimate top-18 appeal at the wide receiver position. He should also benefit from this specific matchup against Philadelphia, which has surrendered the fifth-most touchdowns and 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026.
