Who Should I Start? Jordan Matthews or Davante Adams

Thursday, May 8, 1:02 PM

The Carolina Panthers released tight end Jordan Matthews on Thursday, league sources tell The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. The former wide receiver will now hit the open market after re-signing with the team in early January on a Reserve/Futures deal. The 32-year-old former second-round pick (42nd overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 out of Vanderbilt ended up with just one target in four games played (one start) in his two seasons with Carolina the last two years. Since transitioning to a tight end, Matthews hasn't made an impact at the NFL level since leaving the Eagles with the San Francisco 49ers and Panthers. In his 10 NFL seasons, Matthews has recorded 274 catches on 423 targets for 3,288 yards and 22 touchdowns, with pretty much all of that production coming from 2014-18.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams is a very strong WR2 option in fantasy football ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Adams has posted at least 13.8 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last four games, including a touchdown in three of those four. The talented veteran hasn't been quite as dominant as teammate Puka Nacua, but he's still a must-start fantasy receiver, especially with a favorable matchup on tap. This week, Adams faces the Ravens, who are banged up on both sides of the ball. Baltimore has allowed the most touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Adams is a top-18 fantasy receiver this week, and a touchdown could vault him into the top 12.
