Davante Adams Held in Check as Rams Drop Season Opener

Thursday, September 10, 9:37 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught three of his six targets for 26 receiving yards during Thursday's Week 1 loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. The Rams' pass-catchers had a really frustrating outing in the season opener, and Adams was no exception. His 5.6 PPR points represent a massive decline from his average of 15.9 PPR points per game last season. Fantasy managers will hope that this game from Adams was an anomaly and can simply be chalked up to the nature of playing a game in Australia after arriving less than 24 hours earlier. Adams and his teammates will have plenty of time to return home and reacclimate to the conditions in the United States before returning to action in 11 days for a Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He still ranks as a low-end fantasy WR2 for that game, but his floor is admittedly lower than before.

Parker Washington to Return Punts This Year

Wednesday, September 9, 10:59 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington said that he is the team's punt returner heading into the Week 1 season opener this Sunday against the visiting Cleveland Browns, according to Mark Long of The Associated Press. Washington came on strong last year as one of quarterback Trevor Lawrence's most trusted targets in the passing game and finished with career highs across the board in his third NFL season in catches (58), targets (95), receiving yards (847), and touchdowns (five) in 16 regular-season games. The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder from Penn State has continued to rise in training camp and the preseason and has been one of the most-hyped wideouts for fantasy football as he continues to develop chemistry with Lawrence. The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder will be exposed to more injuries as the team's punt returner in 2026, but that should not detract from his upside potential in an ascending Jaguars offense. Washington should be locked into all fantasy starting lineups against the Browns in Week 1 as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex option.
