Who Should I Start? Randall Cobb or Davante Adams

Thursday, July 18, 2:13 PM

Veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb is hanging up his cleats and will join the SEC Network as a college football studio analyst this year. Although Cobb hasn't officially retired, it's unlikely we'll see him again on an NFL field after he caught just five of 17 targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in 11 games (one start) in 2023 for the New York Jets. The 33-year-old was a healthy scratch for most of the second half last season. Ten of Cobb's 13 years in the NFL came with the Green Bay Packers, who selected him in the second round (64th overall) in the 2011 NFL draft out of Kentucky. If this is indeed the end of the road for the 33-year-old pass-catcher, he'll finish his career in the NFL with 630 catches on 912 targets for 7,624 yards and 54 touchdowns in 166 regular-season games (88 starts) with the Packers, Jets, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams caught six of his 13 targets for a team-leading 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Rams vowed to get Adams more involved this week, and that's exactly what happened, as the veteran pass catcher carved out an impressive 39.4 percent target share. Although he finished with fewer fantasy points than Puka Nacua for the second week in a row, what's more important is that both Nacua and Adams scored at least 22.5 points (PPR). Week 2 showed that the two can easily co-exist in a Matthew Stafford-led offense, which bodes well for their respective fantasy values going forward. Heading into Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Nacua is a low-end WR1 while Adams is a mid-to-high WR2. Both have high-end WR1 upside, though.
