Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams had three receptions (on six targets) for 26 yards in Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Why It Matters: It was a quiet start to the 2026 campaign for Adams, and it serves as a reminder of just how dependent his weekly value is on touchdowns. Last season, he led the NFL with 14 TD receptions and scored in nine of his 14 games -- in the five he didn't, he averaged 56 yards, which isn't moving the needle. Given his ability in the red zone, Adams remains a strong WR3 or even a fringe WR2, though his days as a reliable top-end fantasy wideout appear to have come and gone.
