PodcastDavis Mattek - Grinding the Variance: Michael Leone's First Draft of the YearAugust 11, 2026

From the episode

I hear the hoof beats of the four horsemen of aging on Devonta Adams, like one point eight five yards per out run. ... Any kind of physical decline for Adams can be masked over by the touchdowns.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Adams shows signs of decline but remains a value due to elite touchdown upside.

Michael Leone expresses concern regarding Davante Adams' physical decline, noting his yards per route run dropped below 2.0 for the first time in his career. However, Leone acknowledges that Adams' elite goal-line usage and touchdown potential make him a "smash" at his current price, as his scoring ability can mask physical regression.
