FantasyPros Articles on Davante Adams
From the article
last year was actually a red-flag season disguised as an elite one; he posted a career-low catch rate of 53%, his YAC per reception hit a career low, and the bulk of his production was TD-dependent with 15 scores...that kind of touchdown volume is notoriously hard to replicate year over year.
STACKED’s take
TD regression, declining efficiency, and age make WR2 pricing a poor value proposition.
Adams is priced as a low-end WR2 by FantasyPros ECR, but 2025 was a red-flag season disguised as elite: he posted a career-low 53% catch rate, career-low YAC per reception, and was heavily TD-dependent with 15 scores (three in a game without Puka Nacua). That touchdown volume is notoriously hard to replicate year-over-year. Matthew Stafford's 2025 MVP season featured a career-high 7.7% TD rate that will almost certainly regress; the Rams' red-zone approach was 'comically obvious' in forcing Adams touchdowns. In 2026, the Rams may lean more on running backs to protect Stafford's health (he's 38 with a history of back injuries). Adams himself is 33 and dealt with a lower-body tissue injury in 2025; at his age, that's not something to brush off. The totality of optics—age, injury, TD regression risk, declining efficiency—makes Adams far more likely to fall off than replicate 2025. While an elite ceiling exists if Nacua misses time, the source notes 'the fantasy football ROI has not always been kind to those paying the premium for the more expensive real-life WR2s in the draft room.'
