Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Ricky Pearsall

Wednesday, December 24, 12:15 PM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Los Angeles Rams "very well could shut down" wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) for the final two regular-season games. Head coach Sean McVay already said that Adams is doubtful to play on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17, and a team source told Fowler that "it wouldn't be a surprise" to see Adams also miss the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. The Rams' goal is to "ensure Adams is 100 percent for the first week of the playoffs." Adams is currently considered week-to-week after aggravating his hamstring injury on Dec. 14 against the Detroit Lions. The Rams held him out of last Thursday's overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect to have him the rest of the way. Konata Mumpfield, along with star Puka Nacua, could be the biggest beneficiary in L.A.'s passing attack if Adams misses two more games.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 16 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Pearsall was unable to practice all week due to knee and ankle injuries he suffered during last week's win over the Tennessee Titans. He'll miss at least one game, but will hopefully return for the Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The absence of Pearsall should mean larger roles for Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Demarcus Robinson. Out of the three, Jennings is the only consistent fantasy option heading into the Monday Night matchup versus the Colts.
