Davante Adams goes nuclear in Week 2 trouncing
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Davante Adams, 33, had a quiet Week 1 with only a 13-yard long gain and limited success connecting with Matthew Stafford against the San Francisco secondary, but is expected to rebound in Week 2 against the Giants.
- Despite concerns about his age, Adams showed explosiveness and a strong connection with Stafford during training camp, though the Rams may need to manage his workload to avoid injuries.
- The Rams considered trading Adams in the offseason but ultimately kept him, valuing his role as a premier red zone threat who led the league with 14 touchdowns in 2025.
- Financial commitments to Adams ($24 million in 2026) and other wide receivers suggest the Rams are invested in maintaining a strong receiving corps, with Adams likely to remain with the team through next season.
- Adams’ touchdown production has sustained his fantasy value despite moderate yardage, and he is projected to continue as a WR2/WR3 option with significant touchdown upside entering his age-34 season.
