Davante Adams News
Sunday, August 30, 9:26 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams already showed last season that the touchdowns are still there. What he did not have was a summer of work with Matthew Stafford. Stafford missed almost all of 2025 training camp because of a back injury, leaving Adams to build that connection on the fly. This August has been different. The two connected on an over-the-shoulder touchdown during camp, and their chemistry stood out again in the Rams' joint practice with New Orleans. Adams is coming off 60 catches for 789 yards and an NFL-leading 14 touchdowns in 14 games, good for a WR9 finish in PPR. There is still plenty of regression risk here. His 52.6% catch rate was a career low, 84 of his 222.9 PPR points came from touchdowns, and Puka Nacua remains the clear lead target. RotoBaller currently has Adams at WR18 in PPR rankings, so he is not being treated like a bargain. Still, a healthy summer with Stafford is a meaningful change from a year ago. Adams has done more to steady his redraft value than give fantasy managers another reason to fade him.

J.K. Dobbins News
Friday, August 28, 7:22 AM
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has steadied his redraft outlook after an early-August injury scare. Dobbins left practice on August 10 with a soft-tissue issue, but Sean Payton said at the time he expected the veteran to be fine. Dobbins returned to individual work the next day and said after Denver's second preseason game that he was fully healthy and "feels great." More importantly, the Broncos' August 25 unofficial depth chart still lists him first at running back, ahead of RJ Harvey. Dobbins earned that standing last season, rushing 153 times for 772 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games while averaging 5.0 yards per carry before a foot injury ended his regular season. Denver then brought him back on a two-year deal in March. Harvey should remain involved, particularly in the passing game, while fourth-round rookie Jonah Coleman has impressed Sean Payton and gives the Broncos another physical option. That keeps Dobbins from projecting as a true workhorse. Still, the latest health concern has passed without costing him the top spot. RotoBaller's August 25 half-PPR rankings have Dobbins 80th overall, and his early-down role remains intact entering Week 1.
