Davante Adams News
Saturday, September 19, 5:02 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is coming off a very disappointing Week 1 performance in Australia. For now, we're willing to chalk up Adams' dud game to the Rams' weird travel logistics for the international contest. Now that the Rams are returning stateside to play the New York Giants in Week 2, there's no excuse for the Rams' offense not to produce. Adams had just three catches for 26 yards in that game, so he'll look to get back on track that allowed a modest 21.1 combined PPR points to CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens last week. There's another factor to consider here, as Puka Nacua (hip) is questionable to play on Monday night. It seems like there's a very real chance that Nacua is inactive after missing two consecutive practices, but since managers won't know for sure until Monday night, they're left in a tough spot when making lineup decisions. Adams is a low-end WR2 if Nacua plays, but he would become a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver if he steps into the primary receiver role.

Tee Higgins News
Friday, September 18, 12:15 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will take on the Houston Texans on the road this Sunday. Higgins had a mediocre performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, catching three passes for 59 yards. Higgins connected with quarterback Joe Burrow a few times, notably on a 29-yard reception, but couldn't find the end zone, finishing with just 8.9 points in PPR formats. While the performance was not a complete dud, it was not the type of game that fantasy managers expect from Higgins in a high-scoring game. In Higgins' career, he's been completely healthy for 76 games and in that span he's scored 45 touchdowns. That's good for 0.59 touchdowns per game when healthy, for context, future Hall of Fame WR Mike Evans has a career rate of 0.61 touchdowns per game. Higgins is among the best receivers in the league at finding pay dirt and he has a high chance to do so this Sunday in a game against the Texans with an over/under set at 46.5 points. The Texans just allowed the Bills to score 36 points against them in Week 1, so the Bengals should be able to score on them as well. Higgins is ranked WR22 in our RotoBaller Week 2 PPR rankings, placing him firmly in the WR2 discussion. Fantasy managers should expect a much better performance from Higgins in Week 2.
