Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Courtland Sutton

Friday, December 19, 5:27 PM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) likely won't play in Week 17's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. The 33-year-old wideout missed Thursday night's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks after aggravating a hamstring injury during Week 15's win over the Detroit Lions. The star wideout has had an incredible first season in Los Angeles, hauling in 60 receptions for 789 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns on 114 targets in 14 games. Star receiver Puka Nacua should continue to see a heavy dose of targets in Adams' absence, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington vying for opportunities behind him.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been highly productive in three games since his team's bye week, catching 18 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR8 in half-PPR leagues during that span. The veteran receiver has found his stride at the perfect time, breaking an ugly stretch of four games with 11 or fewer fantasy points prior to the bye. In particular, he has emerged as an intriguing threat deep downfield, just in time for the fantasy playoffs. Last week, Sutton racked up 136 air yards (ninth-most among NFL wide receivers) and an ADOT of 13.6 yards. He should remain highly productive in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who rank right near the middle of the league with the 16th-most fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2025. Sutton has jumped to the WR14 spot in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.
