Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Courtland Sutton

Wednesday, October 15, 2:08 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams could take on an expanded role going forward, starting with Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. There will be additional targets to go around with Puka Nacua (ankle) expected to miss the international game. It's unclear exactly how much time Nacua will miss, and while it's not expected to be a long-term injury, Adams should handle a significant portion of Nacua's vacated targets for at least a week or two. This is encouraging news for the veteran receiver and his fantasy managers. Adams has been able to maintain WR2 value in fantasy football, but his mere 47.3 percent catch rate has been disappointing, to say the least. An increased target share should at least lead to more catches for Adams in Week 7, if not a higher catch rate. He'll sneak into the low-end WR1 tier as soon as Nacua is ruled out.

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will face star cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets defense, he will likely lead the team in targets as they take the field in London. Sutton has been a consistent player this season, outside of a Week 2 dud, in which Troy Franklin had a breakout game. With averages of 13.5 half-ppr ppg and 16.1 full-ppr ppg coming into Week 6, Sutton is likely the only fully reliable option within the Broncos' core against a defense that typically gets exploited by the run game more than the pass. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups as a WR2 with upside, as Sutton comes in as WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.
