Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Chase Claypool

Sunday, January 18, 9:37 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams returned from a three-game injury absence last weekend, and he immediately made an impact with five catches for 72 yards on 13 targets and a 72% snap share. Adams continued to carve out a sizable role alongside superstar Puka Nacua. With that being said, the veteran receiver was held without a touchdown for his third consecutive game -- his longest streak without a trip to the end zone since the first half of the 2024 season. Adams is a major touchdown threat, as evidenced by his 14 touchdowns through the first 12 games of the 2025 regular season. As a result, we wouldn't be surprised to see him get back on the board with a score against the Bears on Sunday. After all, this matchup is incredibly enticing and should work in Adams' favor. The Bears have allowed the third-most touchdowns and the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Adams ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's Divisional Round fantasy rankings, putting him behind only Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who played on Saturday evening.

Free-agent wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) is hoping to sign with an NFL team. The 2020 No. 49 overall pick was spectacular as a rookie, amassing 62 catches for 873 yards and 11 touchdowns. Since then, he hasn't been as productive. finding the end zone only six times. After stops in Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Miami, Claypool was in line to suit up for the Buffalo Bills heading into the 2024 campaign. Unfortunately, he tore a ligament and tendon in his toe before eventually being released by the team. With the injury behind Claypool, he is eager to get back on the field while claiming to be stronger and faster than ever. "I am back to being the strongest and fastest I've ever been and couldn't be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves," said the 26-year-old. "I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what's been suppressed these last two years." It appears he is more motivated than ever. Although Claypool should see attention from fantasy managers if he signs with a club, he could have a tough time getting close to the level of production he had in his inaugural year. Still, the wideout is worth monitoring in case he ends up inking a deal with a team where he'll have the opportunity to get involved.
