Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Jalen Coker

Sunday, November 2, 9:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams picked up right where he left off before the team's Week 8 bye in Week 9. Adams recorded five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in the Rams' 34-10 blowout win over the New Orleans Saints. Adams has now hauled in five touchdown grabs over his last two games played. The 32-year-old is in the midst of an excellent first season in Los Angeles with 36 catches for 391 yards and eight touchdowns on 70 targets. Additionally, star Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ribs) exited Week 9 early due to a rib injury. Head coach Sean McVay said following the game that Nacua could have returned had the score been closer. Still, Adams would obviously stand to benefit from a target volume standpoint if Nacua were to miss time. Los Angeles will travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers in Week 10.

Wide receiver Jalen Coker was a non-factor in the Carolina Panthers' Week 9 stunning triumph over the Green Bay Packers by a score of 16-13. The Panthers' WR caught his only target for nine yards despite playing on 66% of snaps for the second straight week. Carolina's defense shone, and the Panthers relied more on the running game on offense. Xavier Legette was injured and will be evaluated for a concussion. If Legette is unable to play next week, Coker will be in line for increased snaps, which could result in more targets. In Week 10, the Panthers will face the New Orleans Saints, who are coming off one of their worst games against wide receivers this season. They allowed 167 yards and three touchdowns to the Rams' WRs. Although Coker continues to see many reps and has a seemingly good matchup next week, fantasy players can consider cutting him ahead of Week 10. Coker has not shown any promise yet to exploit a favorable matchup.
