Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Mason Taylor

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams could take on an expanded role going forward, starting with Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. There will be additional targets to go around with Puka Nacua (ankle) expected to miss the international game. It's unclear exactly how much time Nacua will miss, and while it's not expected to be a long-term injury, Adams should handle a significant portion of Nacua's vacated targets for at least a week or two. This is encouraging news for the veteran receiver and his fantasy managers. Adams has been able to maintain WR2 value in fantasy football, but his mere 47.3 percent catch rate has been disappointing, to say the least. An increased target share should at least lead to more catches for Adams in Week 7, if not a higher catch rate. He'll sneak into the low-end WR1 tier as soon as Nacua is ruled out.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor failed to make an impact in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in London, reeling in his lone target for a gain of two yards. New York's offense was non-existent in Week 6, as quarterback Justin Fields failed to net a positive passing figure (-10) in an outing to forget. In turn, Taylor, like the other Jets' skill players, never got a chance to get going. Despite the down week, fantasy managers may not want to give up hope on the rookie just yet. Fourth-year pro wideout Garrett Wilson's (knee) status for the team's meeting with the Carolina Panthers in Week 7 is in doubt due to a hyperextended knee, leaving Taylor with a strong chance to see an increase in usage. The 21-year-old's fantasy floor is alarmingly low, but he should rack up a fair share of the vacant targets if Wilson is inactive next weekend.
