Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or David Johnson

Monday, February 16, 5:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams capitalized on his high-scoring role within an omnipotent offense during the 2025 regular season. The Rams' offense steamrolled most opponents in their path, largely thanks to the elite talent of Adams, Puka Nacua, and quarterback Matthew Stafford. The veteran receiver benefitted from having Stafford to throw him passes, as the two connected for 14 touchdowns over Los Angeles' first 12 games. The frequent trips to the end zone allowed him to turn in his best fantasy finish (WR9) since 2022, despite posting his lowest yardage total since 2015 in Green Bay. Adams isn't getting younger, and we know that he's still the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Nacua. However, this past season proved that Adams remains a talented, must-start receiver in fantasy football. He's a solid top-12 receiver option heading into redraft leagues in 2026. On the other hand, dynasty managers might want to consider selling high, as he's 33 years old and the peak of his career is behind him.

Running back David Johnson officially announced his retirement on Sunday. The 32-year-old was taken in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He played for three teams, suiting up for the Cardinals, Texans, and Saints. However, Johnson's most productive years were in Arizona, where he had his best season in 2016 by rushing for 1,239 yards and 16 touchdowns off 293 carries and adding 80 catches for 879 yards and four touchdowns. Unfortunately, injuries didn't allow him to recapture the same magic from the 2016 season, although he still had a productive career, ending with 4,071 rushing yards, 2,805 receiving yards, and 57 total touchdowns.
