Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Terry McLaurin

Saturday, November 22, 4:23 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is coming off a bizarre contest against the Seattle Seahawks in which he caught one of eight targets for one yard and one touchdown. The stat line was quite frustrating, but he salvaged his fantasy performance with a trip to the end zone, scoring for a fourth consecutive game. Fortunately, his target share indicates that he should have no trouble bouncing back against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Plus, quarterback Matthew Stafford is putting together an MVP season, so he's expected to re-establish his strong connection with Adams on Sunday. Furthermore, the Bucs have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points, 11th-most receptions, and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing receivers in 2025. Adams ranks as the overall WR6 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. Managers should start him with confidence in all leagues.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) is working on the side of the team's Thursday practice with athletic trainers after missing Wednesday's practice, according to John Keim of ESPN. Despite McLaurin's appearance at practice, the Commanders have already ruled him out for Week 11's game at Miami. The former Ohio State standout will have missed seven games heading into a Week 12 bye, part of a nightmarish year for a Washington team coming off a run to last season's NFC Championship Game. McLaurin has been one of fantasy football's bigger disappointments in 2025, but with a return seemingly likely in Week 13, he could be a welcome addition for managers making a playoff push.
