Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Justin Jefferson

Sunday, November 9, 8:09 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) suffered an oblique injury during Sunday's Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Sean McVay told the media. The Rams are hopeful that Adams will be alright, and McVay believes Adams could have possibly returned to Sunday's game if the score had been closer. Overall, the team seems to be adopting a positive tone in regards to the injury that ended Adams' day early. It sounds like he has a good chance to play in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, but fantasy managers should still check for updates on the Rams' injury reports from Wednesday through Friday. If confirmed as active next week, Adams would continue to operate as a WR1 in fantasy football.

Coming off a frustrating loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson vowed to improve following a rare quiet game. Jefferson was targeted 12 times, but caught only four for 37 yards. A number of factors led to Minnesota's struggles, most notably eight false start penalties that had the offense playing from behind most of the day. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the NFL's youngest starter at age 22, has been inconsistent, but the Vikings saw promise in two near-connections with Jefferson. On the first, McCarthy saw Baltimore's zero coverage and heaved a deep ball to Jefferson, who lost his footing with incidental contact, leading to an interception. The star receiver also nearly caught a touchdown on an accurate ball in traffic that would have been a tough catch, but he said he views it as his job to "make the 50-50 opportunity catches look 70-30," according to The Athletic. For fantasy managers, Jefferson is a must-start player every week, but the Vikings look like they're going to be erratic as they weather McCarthy's growing pains.
