Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Quentin Johnston

Wednesday, October 15, 2:08 AM

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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the Week 6 road contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Johnston was limited in practice from Wednesday through Friday and will sit out for the first time this year. It comes after his worst performance of the year in the Week 5 loss to the Washington Commanders, when he caught all four of his targets for a season-low 40 yards. Johnston will continue to be involved in L.A.'s passing attack all year, though, and he already has four touchdowns in five games in 2025. His next chance to play will come in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. With Johnston sidelined this weekend, both Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey should see an increase in targets in a great matchup against the Dolphins' struggling defense. Rookie Tre' Harris should operate in the No. 3 role for the Bolts.
