Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Theo Johnson

Sunday, November 2, 9:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams picked up right where he left off before the team's Week 8 bye in Week 9. Adams recorded five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in the Rams' 34-10 blowout win over the New Orleans Saints. Adams has now hauled in five touchdown grabs over his last two games played. The 32-year-old is in the midst of an excellent first season in Los Angeles with 36 catches for 391 yards and eight touchdowns on 70 targets. Additionally, star Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ribs) exited Week 9 early due to a rib injury. Head coach Sean McVay said following the game that Nacua could have returned had the score been closer. Still, Adams would obviously stand to benefit from a target volume standpoint if Nacua were to miss time. Los Angeles will travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers in Week 10.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like he's managing a shoulder injury, so he'll get eased into the practice week. Last weekend, Johnson hauled in three of his six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old has scored five touchdowns in his last six games. If he's unable to play, Daniel Bellinger could move into the starting tight end role for the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Right now, it seems like Johnson is trending towards playing, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.
