Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Ladd McConkey

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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey remains a crucial part of the passing attack, recording a 23.5% season-long target share and catching four of six targets for 56 yards in a close win against the Tennessee Titans last week. This week, he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers' league-worst passing defense, which ranks 30th in yards allowed per game, although they recently defeated the red-hot Indianapolis Colts. While he will likely draw the attention of Steelers' cornerback Jalen Ramsey, McConkey's exceptional ability to create separation should keep his target volume high. He has become Justin Herbert's most trusted receiver over the last few games and is expected to receive plenty of targets against a recently surging defense. Although his WR1 ceiling is often touchdown-dependent due to the many mouths to feed in Los Angeles, his high floor makes him a dependable high-end WR2 or low-end WR1 option that should be started in all leagues.
