Davante Adams Remains a Must-Start Despite Teammate's Big Return

Friday, October 2, 10:17 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has been playing at an elite level lately, but he might cool off in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Teammate Puka Nacua has been cleared to return from his hip injury, dropping Adams back down to second in the pecking order in Los Angeles. It was an elite two-week stretch from Adams, who caught 15 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns as the de facto alpha receiver for the Rams. Given how well he played with Nacua sidelined, we expect that he'll have no trouble remaining a strong fantasy option in most leagues going forward. After all, this is a high-volume offense that has shown it can support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers. As a result, we're still recommending all managers start Adams in Week 4 against the Eagles. He may not be a WR1 lock, but he has legitimate top-18 appeal at the wide receiver position. He should also benefit from this specific matchup against Philadelphia, which has surrendered the fifth-most touchdowns and 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026.

Kalif Raymond Ascending Ahead of Matchup With Jets

Saturday, October 3, 6:29 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond looks to continue his recent string of success ahead of Sunday's matchup with the visiting New York Jets. Raymond has been a nice surprise for Chicago in 2026. Through three games, the 32-year-old leads the team with 19 receptions and 214 receiving yards, all while finishing two targets shy of teammate Luther Burden III's 23. Whether Raymond will be productive all season remains to be seen, but his knowledge of head coach Ben Johnson's offense has made him a reliable outlet on a play-by-play basis. Additionally, the veteran appears to be the preferred option over Burden in two-wide-receiver personnel. Another potential switch at quarterback could make the floor of this offense volatile until the return of Caleb Williams (hamstring). Still, Raymond has been a go-to guy regardless of who is calling signals. He rises a bit this week, clocking in at RotoBaller's PPR WR46.
