Davante Adams News
Monday, August 24, 7:47 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams finished the 2025 season as a WR1 in fantasy football, and he remains an appealing fantasy option for 2026. Specifically, Adams was the overall WR9 in PPR leagues last year, catching 60 passes for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns. This was his worst yardage total since 2015, but he still put together a highly productive season with the second-highest touchdown total of his career. Although Adams does have to share targets with Puka Nacua, he benefits from having such a prominent role in an offense led by prolific passer Matthew Stafford. Last year's MVP showed that he is capable of supporting two top-12 fantasy receivers in one season, so even though Adams is already 33 years old, he's a viable low-end WR1 for fantasy managers who choose to target other positions early in their 2026 drafts.

James Cook III News
Saturday, August 22, 11:44 AM
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III has finished as a top-10 running back in overall scoring in back-to-back seasons. He has rushed for 2,630 yards on 516 carries with 28 touchdowns across 33 games. In addition, Cook won the rushing title last year with 1,621 rushing yards. The 26-year-old has proven he can be a top fantasy producer by relying on his rushing production. However, Bills offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael has hinted that the Bills will look to use him more in the passing game this year, according to Alex Brasky of Sports Illustrated. Cook was labeled the best receiving running back in the 2022 NFL Draft coming out of Georgia due to his skillful route running and excellent hands. Conversely, Cook has mainly operated as an early-down runner and a goal-line back near the end zone. If Cook gets more involved in the passing game, it could boost him into a top 3 overall finisher at the position this season.
