Davante Adams Continues to Excel in Top Role Despite Tough Matchup

Sunday, September 27, 8:29 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of his 13 targets for 137 yards during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Denver Broncos. Adams saw a heavy dose of Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, and the two competed in impressive fashion all night long. Both players won their fair share of battles, but Adams and the Rams have to be pleased with his performance. Adams has spent the last two weeks operating as the Rams' No. 1 receiver with Puka Nacua (hip, groin) sidelined, and he has proven that he is still a superstar weapon in the passing game. In two games without Nacua, Adams has totaled 15 catches, 332 yards, and two touchdowns. The 33-year-old will remain a must-start receiver in Week 4 against the Eagles, regardless of whether Nacua returns to action.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Off Injury Report, Hopeful To Break Out In Week 3

Friday, September 25, 12:41 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught four passes for 83 yards in the 33-30 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. While the stat line does not look bad, it is not what was expected from the Chiefs WR1 heading into the season. It should also be noted that 31 of his 83 yards came on a meaningless catch to run out the clock in regulation. With tight end Travis Kelce looking rejuvenated and the Kansas City run game punishing defenses, Rice appears to have taken a backseat in the offense. Rice will look to turn things around in what should be an easy matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins defense has been arguably the worst unit in football to begin the season, so the Chiefs should have no issues imposing their will. Rice is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Week 3 PPR rankings, making him a low-end WR2 option heading into the weekend. Fantasy managers have likely been disappointed with Rice so far, but his matchup on Sunday could be a get-right spot.
