Should I Start Davante Adams?

Saturday, September 19, 5:02 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is coming off a very disappointing Week 1 performance in Australia. For now, we're willing to chalk up Adams' dud game to the Rams' weird travel logistics for the international contest. Now that the Rams are returning stateside to play the New York Giants in Week 2, there's no excuse for the Rams' offense not to produce. Adams had just three catches for 26 yards in that game, so he'll look to get back on track that allowed a modest 21.1 combined PPR points to CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens last week. There's another factor to consider here, as Puka Nacua (hip) is questionable to play on Monday night. It seems like there's a very real chance that Nacua is inactive after missing two consecutive practices, but since managers won't know for sure until Monday night, they're left in a tough spot when making lineup decisions. Adams is a low-end WR2 if Nacua plays, but he would become a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver if he steps into the primary receiver role.
