Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Mike Gesicki

Sunday, September 14, 8:46 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught six of his 13 targets for a team-leading 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Rams vowed to get Adams more involved this week, and that's exactly what happened, as the veteran pass catcher carved out an impressive 39.4 percent target share. Although he finished with fewer fantasy points than Puka Nacua for the second week in a row, what's more important is that both Nacua and Adams scored at least 22.5 points (PPR). Week 2 showed that the two can easily co-exist in a Matthew Stafford-led offense, which bodes well for their respective fantasy values going forward. Heading into Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Nacua is a low-end WR1 while Adams is a mid-to-high WR2. Both have high-end WR1 upside, though.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki finished the 2024 campaign with 65 catches (83 targets) for 665 yards. He also had two touchdowns, although they both came during the Week 7 matchup with the Browns. Gesicki and quarterback Joe Burrow built a strong rapport, resulting in the 29-year-old agreeing to a three-year, $25.5 million contract in March to remain in Cincinnati. The Bengals brought in Noah Fant this offseason. However, Gesicki is projected to lead the position in targets. That's not saying he will receive consistent attention from Burrow throughout the season, especially with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown in the mix. Still, the Bengals explosive offense makes Gesicki a starting option in two-tight end setups versus Cleveland.
