Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Christian Watson

The Los Angeles Rams are hopeful that wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) will return after the Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers, according to The Athletic's Nate Atkins. The Rams have their bye in Week 11, so if Adams can hit that target, it means that he will only miss two more contests. The 33-year-old veteran had successful surgery on his left hamstring in late October after initially tweaking his hammy in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. He was given a six- to 10-week timetable, with the Rams all along hoping that Adams could potentially return after their Week 11 bye. It does not look like he will play against the Packers in Week 12, but barring a setback, he could be back for fantasy managers in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs at home. The Rams are desperate for any reinforcements they can get in the passing game, with Puka Nacua (knee, toe) out until potentially Week 14 or 15, and Jordan Whittington and Terrance Ferguson also on Injured Reserve. Adams will not have much time to contribute for the rest of the year when he returns, but he could be back in just the right time for the fantasy playoffs. If he was dropped in any leagues, now is the time to pick him up and stash him in hopes that he can be an asset when it matters most. In six games before his hamstring injury, Adams caught 30 passes for 480 yards and four touchdowns.
