Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Chase Claypool

Saturday, November 29, 6:54 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has emerged as one of the most surefire touchdown threats in the NFL. He has an impressive five-game touchdown streak in the works, and during those five weeks, he has amassed a total of nine touchdowns. On the year, he ranks as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues with 48 catches, 631 yards, and 12 trips to the end zone. Adams was already one of the most talented receivers in the NFL, but he has taken his fantasy stock to the next level with his high-volume role inside one of the league's most prolific passing offenses led by MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford. Even while sharing volume with Puka Nacua, Adams has shown that he and the young receiver can co-exist inside this offense. Both are top-six receivers in terms of fantasy scoring this season and show no signs of slowing down. Despite Carolina allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, Adams ranks as the overall WR6 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

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.
