Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or D'Andre Swift

Sunday, September 14, 8:46 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught six of his 13 targets for a team-leading 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Rams vowed to get Adams more involved this week, and that's exactly what happened, as the veteran pass catcher carved out an impressive 39.4 percent target share. Although he finished with fewer fantasy points than Puka Nacua for the second week in a row, what's more important is that both Nacua and Adams scored at least 22.5 points (PPR). Week 2 showed that the two can easily co-exist in a Matthew Stafford-led offense, which bodes well for their respective fantasy values going forward. Heading into Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Nacua is a low-end WR1 while Adams is a mid-to-high WR2. Both have high-end WR1 upside, though.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during the week in case this injury begins to linger. However, seeing him open the week in limited capacity should not put him in danger of missing their Week 3 clash against the Dallas Cowboys. Through the first two weeks of the season, Swift has operated as the clear workhorse back of the Chicago backfield, taking 29 carries for 116 yards and a score. Through the air, Swift has seen eight targets and brought in six receptions for 18yards. If Swift were to be limited in Week 3, fantasy managers should expect rookie Kyle Monangai to take on a larger workload.
