Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Davante Adams

Friday, September 5, 10:54 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins looks to be stepping into the role that Nelson Agholor played over the last couple of seasons. That isn't saying too much, as Agholor only amassed 231 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions last year. Hopkins is obviously the better talent of the two, but the 33-year-old finished as the WR48 last season and totaled 56 receptions for 610 yards and five touchdowns. He'll likely flash in a few games this season, but will ultimately be hard to trust week-to-week. He's not recommended in 12-team leagues for Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills, especially with the six-point projection on RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams will make his team debut against the Houston Texans on Sunday, and he carries significant value as a mid-to-low WR2 option. While Puka Nacua is expected to be the No. 1 receiver in Los Angeles, Adams will step in as an immediate contributor alongside him. Splitting last year between the Raiders and Jets, the veteran averaged 6.1 catches, 75.9 receiving yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game. Now, with the Rams, he gets a quarterback upgrade while playing in an offense that should find the end zone far more often. Plus, he opens the year with a favorable matchup; the Texans allowed the eighth-most fantasy points and second-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2024.
