Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Jalen Hurts

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.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw two touchdowns but partnered those with two turnovers in last Friday's 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears. Philly's offense has only managed to put up more than 20 points once in their last four games, and they'll have their hands full this week with a Chargers defense on Monday Night Football. Los Angeles has the second-best pass defense in the league this season in terms of touchdowns and yards allowed, giving up just 12 total scores and 168.3 yards per game through 12 contests. However, with Hurts' dual-threat ability and tush pushes always on the table, he's going to be worth a vote of confidence. The Eagles should find their stride on offense with playoffs around the corner, but temper expectations for their passing game in this matchup. Consider Hurts a low-end QB1 in Week 14.
