Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or DK Metcalf

Wednesday, January 7, 2:39 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) missed the final three games of the regular season after pulling up lame with a hamstring injury in a Week 15 win over the Lions, but he was a full participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, and the team is optimistic they will have him back for Saturday's Wild Card opener in Carolina. Adams led all players with 14 receiving touchdowns, despite playing in only 14 games, and if active, he is a must-start in fantasy playoff leagues. The Rams are 10.5-point road favorites and have the highest implied team total of the weekend. Adams is RotoBaller's WR2 for Wild Card Weekend, behind only teammate Puka Nacua.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has rejoined the team following his two-game suspension in Weeks 17 and 18 for an altercation with a fan during the team's Week 16 contest in Detroit against the Lions. Pittsburgh's offense really struggled the final two weeks of the regular season, but they did just enough to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night to clinch the NFC North title and a spot in the postseason. Veterans Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen tried to help pick up the slack in the passing attack with Metcalf out, and it also helped that the Steelers got Calvin Austin III back from an injury in Week 18. Metcalf's return will help the Steelers stretch the field, but he'll be a volatile DFS play during Wild-Card weekend against the Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense. In 15 regular-season games, Metcalf was tied for 25th among wideouts with 10.5 half-PPR points per game.
