Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Chase Claypool

Sunday, November 16, 12:29 AM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) is expected to be active for Week 11's clash with the visiting Seattle Seahawks. The fantasy stalwart tweaked his oblique in last Sunday's victory against their division-rival 49ers, opening the week of practice as a DNP. However, Adams' injury was never considered significant, and he practiced in a limited capacity on back-to-back days ahead of this weekend's outing. The veteran has been a touchdown machine in 2025, scoring nine in as many appearances. As such, fantasy managers should have no qualms slotting him into their lineups if he's active. Even in a less-than-ideal matchup, Adams is a fringey WR1 considering his scoring upside.

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.
