Rams Explored Trading Davante Adams

Sunday, March 15, 12:47 PM

The Los Angeles Rams recently explored the idea of trading superstar wide receiver Davante Adams, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. This rumor follows prominent reporting that indicated the Rams had been looking into acquiring Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown. Such a trade would have given the Rams one of the greatest wide receiver rooms in NFL history, featuring Brown, Adams, and Puka Nacua. However, it likely would not have lasted very long. If the Rams acquired Brown, they would have looked to trade away Adams before his $6 million roster bonus was due on Sunday. Now that Adams' bonus is locked in, the Rams will likely keep the veteran receiver and stay away from Brown. That's consistent with another report from Florio that said the Rams have called off their trade pursuit of the Eagles' superstar. For now, Los Angeles will run back an elite wide receiver tandem of Nacua and Adams, both of whom could be strong WR1 options in fantasy football once again next year.

Emeka Egbuka the New WR1 in Tampa Bay?

Wednesday, March 11, 9:17 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has climbed up the depth chart and could open next season as Baker Mayfield's No. 1 target in the passing game. Legendary wide receiver Mike Evans recently signed with the 49ers after 12 years in Tampa Bay, leaving Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. atop the wide receiver depth chart. Both Egbuka and Godwin had their ups and downs last season, but the former has significantly greater upside and offers more of a threat to make big plays in contested one-on-one scenarios downfield. In other words, he edges out Godwin in terms of the superstar potential needed to fill the void of someone like Evans. The former Ohio State first-round pick finished his rookie campaign with 63 catches, 938 yards, and six touchdowns. He was the overall WR23 in PPR leagues, and that was after he came back down to earth during the second half of the season. Through the first five weeks of his rookie season, he had ranked as the WR3 in PPR leagues. Egbuka has already shown that he can be a top-five fantasy receiver, so we wouldn't be totally surprised if he returns to that form as the post-Evans era gets underway in 2026.
