Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Josh Downs

Wednesday, October 8, 2:26 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has continued to produce despite being second in the pecking order on his own team. The veteran receiver has 357 yards and three touchdowns this year, making him a high-end WR2 for week-by-week fantasy lineups. While Puka Nacua has earned the bulk of the attention in Los Angeles, Adams has made a significant impact, too, and his productivity so far should not be overlooked or taken for granted. The 32-year-old represents a safe, dependable WR2 or high-end flex option heading into Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs turned in his best game of the season in a Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Downs caught six of his eight targets for a season-high 54 yards in a 40-6 blowout win on Sunday. The veteran wideout has been quiet to start the season, but he will hope his performance is a springboard to a larger role going forward. Downs will now prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. The Cardinals are allowing just the 20th-most fantasy points per game this year, but Downs should stay involved with Alec Pierce (concussion) expected to miss a third-straight game. Downs sets up as a WR5/flex option heading into Week 6.
