Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Malik Nabers

Sunday, November 16, 12:29 AM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) is expected to be active for Week 11's clash with the visiting Seattle Seahawks. The fantasy stalwart tweaked his oblique in last Sunday's victory against their division-rival 49ers, opening the week of practice as a DNP. However, Adams' injury was never considered significant, and he practiced in a limited capacity on back-to-back days ahead of this weekend's outing. The veteran has been a touchdown machine in 2025, scoring nine in as many appearances. As such, fantasy managers should have no qualms slotting him into their lineups if he's active. Even in a less-than-ideal matchup, Adams is a fringey WR1 considering his scoring upside.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
