Breaking Down Davante Adams's Move to the Rams: Insights for Fantasy Football
The Rams bolster their roster with future Hall of Famer Davante Adams, sparking debate on his fantasy value and that of existing teammates.
The Rams have secured veteran star Davante Adams with a two-year, $46 million deal, enticing hopes for fantasy football fanatics. With Cooper Kupp currently remaining on the team, his future may be uncertain as the Rams are willing to let him explore trade options. The arrival of Adams means new dynamics for the Rams, but fantasy players shouldn’t overestimate his impact.
Adams is expected to play alongside Puka Nacua, while Matthew Stafford may benefit from having another strong receiving option. Fantasy managers should regard Adams as a lower-end WR2 at maximum, with no higher being suggested for drafting until at least round five.
Adams’s last season with the Jets showcased his capability as a star, while the current shift to the Rams presents questions about decline in production, especially as he approaches 33. The Rams have also re-signed Tutu Atwell and have depth options like Jordan Whittington on the roster.
While Stafford may leverage the skills of Adams, this could impact Nacua, who boasts a promising future in this loaded offense. Understanding how fantasy value shifts between these players will be pivotal leading into the next draft.
