Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or DK Metcalf

Thursday, November 13, 5:18 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) is warming up with the rest of the team and is in uniform for Thursday's practice, suggesting he will return to the field, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Adams was held out of Wednesday's session after injuring his oblique in the Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers, but the Rams are pretty confident the 32-year-old veteran will be able to play in Week 11 versus the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. As he typically does before practicing, Adams ran routes during individual pass-game drills on Thursday. Adams will probably be listed as limited on Thursday, but he should be available for fantasy managers this weekend and will be a must-start in what could easily be a shootout in L.A. He's taken a back seat to Puka Nacua in terms of targets, but he leads the NFL with nine touchdowns through nine games.

Over the past two weeks combined, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored just 6.6 half-PPR fantasy points. While there are reasons to be optimistic about the Steelers' offense against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, this matchup doesn't project to be a great one for Metcalf specifically. Cincinnati has surrendered six receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts, and only one of them went to a clear WR1. In Metcalf's Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, he managed just three receptions for 50 yards. Because Metcalf has not exceeded five receptions in any contest this season, fantasy managers can't rely on volume when deciding whether to start him. The 27-year-old will probably need to hit pay dirt to provide value as a low-end WR2 or flex option this week.
