Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Pat Freiermuth

Wednesday, October 8, 2:26 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has continued to produce despite being second in the pecking order on his own team. The veteran receiver has 357 yards and three touchdowns this year, making him a high-end WR2 for week-by-week fantasy lineups. While Puka Nacua has earned the bulk of the attention in Los Angeles, Adams has made a significant impact, too, and his productivity so far should not be overlooked or taken for granted. The 32-year-old represents a safe, dependable WR2 or high-end flex option heading into Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been quiet to start the season and will look to get back on track against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. While the Vikings have been middle-of-the-pack against opposing tight ends through three weeks, Freiermuth could see a boost in opportunities given Pittsburgh's injury report. Fellow tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) and running back Jaylen Warren (knee) are questionable to suit up after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Each has been a reliable short-area target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, so if either of them misses this international bout in Ireland, Freiermuth would likely absorb some of those looks. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation, but in a matchup that projects to be low-scoring, Freiermuth remains a risky play and is best considered a stash or backup option.
