Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Justin Jefferson

Sunday, January 4, 3:22 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Adams is now heading for his third consecutive absence, but the Rams appear optimistic that he'll be able to play in the opening round of the playoffs next weekend. The veteran receiver finishes the regular season with 60 catches, 789 yards, and 14 touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR7 in full-PPR leagues so far. This was his lowest yardage total in a decade, but he made up for it as Matthew Stafford's favorite scoring threat around the goal line.

Through 16 games, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has had the least productive season of his career. The 26-year-old has recorded 76 receptions for 947 yards and two touchdowns on 130 targets. Inconsistent quarterback play in Minnesota has been the biggest problem for Jefferson in 2025. The Vikings may get QB1 J.J. McCarthy (hand) back from the hand injury that sidelined him in Week 17 for their Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. However, Jefferson has recorded just 19 catches for 227 yards and zero touchdowns across McCarthy's last five starts. While Jefferson remains one of the most talented pass-catchers in the NFL, the offensive environment around him in Minnesota this season makes it difficult to trust him for consistent production. Jefferson profiles as a WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 18.
