Davante Adams News
Friday, July 31, 5:03 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is unsure whether 2026 will be his final NFL season or if he'll continue to play. The 13th-year receiver said this week that, "I've given (retirement) some thought. Right now, I'm just enjoying it. I can't tell you if it's going to be after this year or after next year. I truly don't know." In his first season with the Rams in 2025, he had 60 receptions for 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns in 14 games. With Matthew Stafford still playing at a high level and Adams remaining one of the NFL's most dangerous red-zone wide receivers, expect the veteran receiver to post low-end WR2 numbers in 2026.

DK Metcalf News
Tuesday, August 11, 10:38 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (undisclosed) missed Tuesday's training camp practice with an undisclosed injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers told Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live. With both Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. (leg) sitting out, receivers Germie Bernard, Brandon Smith, and Roman Wilson have stepped up for Rodgers. The Steelers' WR corps is a little banged up, but neither Metcalf's nor Pittman's injury seems to be very serious, and the two should be back in the fold at practice sooner rather than later. We would not expect Metcalf to play in Pittsburgh's preseason opener this Thursday against the Green Bay Packers. The 28-year-old Metcalf should still be the Steelers' WR1 in new head coach Mike McCarthy's offense in 2026, but the addition of Pittman definitely won't help his overall target share as he enters his eighth NFL season. In addition to more target competition, the two-time Pro Bowler's situation with Rodgers running the offense won't necessarily give him a high fantasy ceiling. The path to the fourth 1,000-yard season of Metcalf's career is tenuous.
