Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Deebo Samuel

Friday, December 20, 8:56 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams has been on an absolute tear of late, posting 307 receiving yards and three touchdowns over his past two games. Adams will look to stay hot in a home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Los Angeles has struggled against opposing wideouts this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. After overtaking Garrett Wilson as the No. 1 target for the Jets, Adams has drawn double-digit targets in five of his past six contests and should be locked in as a top-six fantasy receiver heading into Week 16.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. will bring the least productive five-game stretch of his career into a Week 16 matchup in Miami on Sunday. He is averaging 3.3 half-PPR points over that stretch, including a 3.4-point performance last Thursday at home versus the Los Angeles Rams. Samuel Sr. reached a low point when he dropped an important 3rd-down pass in LA territory to a chorus of boos from the home fans. He'll have better days ahead -- he's certainly a better player than this -- but at this point, Samuel Sr. is untrustable in fantasy. In addition, Miami's tough pass defense has limited fantasy receivers to the second-lowest total in the league. Perhaps Samuel Sr. sees an increase in carries, with the 49ers down to their fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-string running backs due to a deluge of injuries. It might not matter much, though, as he's only averaging 2.7 yards per carry this year with one rushing touchdown, way back in Week 1. He's projected as a WR4 this week, and most Samuel Sr. managers still in the fantasy playoffs probably benched him long ago.
