Headliner Take

In 2025, Davante Adams enters his first season with the Rams after a productive 2024 campaign that saw him record 85 receptions, 1,063 yards, and 8 touchdowns across 14 games. Despite being in his age-32 season, Adams maintained a strong target share (29.5%) and high involvement, with a 92% snap rate and 96% route participation. Now paired with Matthew Stafford in Sean McVay’s offense, Adams should continue to see meaningful volume, though he will share targets with Puka Nacua. His proven red-zone effectiveness and consistent production profile make him a reliable fantasy WR2 with a solid floor in PPR formats. In fact, with how high Puka is being drafted, we prefer to let someone else take that expensive risk and then just grab Adams a couple rounds later.
