Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Michael Penix Jr.

Saturday, October 11, 12:22 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is a very strong WR2 option in fantasy football ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Adams has posted at least 13.8 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last four games, including a touchdown in three of those four. The talented veteran hasn't been quite as dominant as teammate Puka Nacua, but he's still a must-start fantasy receiver, especially with a favorable matchup on tap. This week, Adams faces the Ravens, who are banged up on both sides of the ball. Baltimore has allowed the most touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Adams is a top-18 fantasy receiver this week, and a touchdown could vault him into the top 12.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is coming off a 313-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 4, and although a Week 5 bye afforded him extra time to prepare for the team's Week 6 opponent, the Bills will present a challenge nevertheless. Buffalo has allowed the seventh fewest fantasy points per game to opposing QBs so far this season, and have limited teams to 154 passing yards per contest, which is second-fewest in the league. It also won't help that it is looking like Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is unlikely to suit up for this one. On the bright side, this game features one of the highest expected point totals on the slate (49.5), and the Falcons could be playing from behind for much of the game, which could mean that the second-year quarterback will have to throw it more to keep pace. The 25-year-old will also have the home crowd at his back, and there will be no weather elements to contend with inside the dome in Atlanta, but in the end the lefty QB projects as a low-end QB2 this week.
