Who Should I Start? DeSean Jackson or Davante Adams

Wednesday, November 29, 10:12 AM

Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson is retiring from football after a 15-year NFL career that featured three Pro Bowls, one All-Pro selection, and seven seasons of at least 900 yards receiving. The 2008 second-round pick spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens. Last season, he totaled 153 yards with Baltimore. Overall, he posted 641 receptions for 11,263 yards, and 58 receiving touchdowns. He also recorded four rushing touchdowns and four punt return touchdowns.

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.
