From the article

Three catches, 26 yards, no touchdowns, -1.7 total EPA generated (per RBSDM), -9.9% catch rate over expected (per NFL Pro). Simply put, that's brutal... there are at least some surface-level reasons to be concerned about what he can produce in 2026, given his age, an increase in injuries in recent seasons, etc.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Adams' Week 1 metrics (3 rec, 26 yards, -1.7 EPA) raise age and injury concerns for 2026 production.

Adams' Week 1 performance (3 catches, 26 yards, 0 TDs, -1.7 EPA, -9.9% CPOE) was brutal and raises concerns about his 2026 production despite his game aging well historically. The source notes age and increased injuries in recent seasons compound concerns; if Adams declines at a steeper rate than expected, the Rams' passing attack faces a tenuous position given the receiver corps is built around him, Puka Nacua, and role players. Red zone usage was limited (1 of 2 pass plays in 9 red zone snaps). While Week 1 is often misleading, this performance highlights how critical it is for Adams to elevate his play as the season continues.
