Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or DK Metcalf

Saturday, December 6, 10:06 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to exceed expectations, and he extended his terrific touchdown streak to six games last week. During that six-week span, he has 11 trips to the end zone and ranks as the overall WR3 in half-PPR leagues. Perhaps the biggest hole in Adams' game has been his catch volume. He hasn't caught more than six passes in a single game this year, and he's averaging a relatively modest 4.3 catches per game. However, he has made up for it with his absurd touchdown efficiency. He's on pace to break his career-best 18 touchdowns in a single season, needing just four more touchdowns over the final five games. Adams has shown that he can co-exist with Puka Nacua in fantasy football, with Adams being the touchdown threat while Nacua is the target and yardage machine. The 32-year-old ranks as the overall WR7 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he should be started in all leagues. Arizona has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Adams has shown that he is matchup-proof.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was able to break out of his slump during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Before his big performance in Week 14, Metcalf was held to under 50 receiving yards in each of his last five games. Metcalf took advantage of the Ravens' lackluster secondary in this one, though. He hauled in seven of his 12 targets for a team-high 148 yards in the victory. Metcalf set a new season-high in yardage, as he has been held under 100 receiving yards since Week 4. In recent weeks, the Steelers have been shy to throw it deep to Metcalf. He showed that he's still capable of making plays down the field, so hopefully Metcalf can carry this momentum into next week's plus matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
