Davante Adams: Dynasty Sell-High Candidate Entering Age-34 Season

Friday, May 29, 12:40 PM

Across 14 games in 2025, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams recorded 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. Adams developed immediate red zone chemistry in his first season with Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, leading the NFL in touchdown catches despite missing three games with a hamstring injury. However, Adams failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time since 2019 and is blocked from being the number one option in his team's passing game by the presence of Rams wideout Puka Nacua. While Los Angeles projects to once again have a prolific passing offense, any slippage from the team's aerial attack may make it difficult for Adams to buoy his production with touchdowns in 2026. As Adams enters his age-34 season, dynasty managers may be wise to cash in on his value with a sell-high trade.

Sean Payton has "Crystal Clear" Vision for Versatile Jaylen Waddle

Thursday, June 4, 11:25 AM

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said there is a "crystal clear" vision for the role of new wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who can play all over, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Waddle had 1,000-yard seasons in his first three years in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins before falling back down to Earth a bit alongside a struggling Miami offense the last two seasons. The 27-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Alabama had a 64-910-6 line in 16 starts in 2025, though, and his fantasy stock is back on the rise after the Broncos gave up a first-round pick for him this offseason. Denver has plenty of options at the position in Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims Jr., and Troy Franklin, but because of his ability to play all over the field with a bright offensive mind in Payton designing plays for him, Waddle could easily lead the Broncos in targets and catches in his first year in the Mile High City in 2026. Fantasy managers will want to target the sixth-year receiver as a low-end WR2 with upside this fall as he finally gets out of the shadow of Tyreek Hill.
