Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Jakobi Meyers

Sunday, October 27, 9:30 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught four of his six targets for 54 yards in a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Adams finished second on the Jets in targets, catches, and receiving yards behind only Garrett Wilson in the close loss but it goes down as his second straight pedestrian outing since the team acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of Week 7. Adams should have better days ahead of him as he gets more acclimated to the New York offense but it appears that he is not going to be overtaking Wilson as the team's No. 1 receiver anytime soon. Adams will be a low-end WR2 in fantasy heading into Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers looked healthy against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, his first game back from a two-week absence due to an ankle injury. He was targeted seven times by his quarterback, Gardner Minshew II, and hauled in six of those passes for 52 yards and the game's only non-garbage-time touchdown. He played reasonably well in the WR1 role left vacant by the departure of Davante Adams. He's the clear lead receiver for the team moving forward, though he faces substantial target competition from tight end Brock Bowers. He's a solid WR3/FLEX option with WR2 upside, depending on how the offense fares overall, ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
