Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Xavier Worthy

Saturday, December 13, 9:47 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is looking to bounce back against the Detroit Lions in Week 15 after a relatively disappointing performance last Sunday. Although he is currently listed as questionable to face Detroit, head coach Sean McVay indicated that the veteran receiver should suit up. Adams saw his six-game touchdown streak come to an end last weekend, but he has still been one of the NFL's most dangerous scoring threats with 14 touchdowns through 13 games. He is the sixth-highest-scoring fantasy receiver in 2025 and has shown that he can co-exist with Puka Nacua in this elite Matthew Stafford-led offense. Adams should excel this week against the Lions, who have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. He ranks as the overall WR5 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught three passes for 55 yards to lead the team in last week's 10-20 loss to the Houston Texans. The Texans focused their defensive attention on Rashee Rice, which allowed Worthy to emerge with the most receiving yards on the team in Week 14. Worthy has quietly strung together three games with at least three catches and 55 yards, giving him a serviceable fantasy floor, albeit without much of a ceiling. The speedy wideout has only topped 70 yards once this season and has one receiving touchdown in 10 games. Things may not get easier as Worthy faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers defense has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, making it a tough spot for Worthy to succeed. Fellow receiver Marquise Brown has already been ruled out for this week's contest, which could open up more opportunities for Worthy, but the matchup is difficult nonetheless. Worthy is ranked WR45 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.
