The source identifies Davante Adams as a fade candidate due to a three-year decline in target volume (175 to 141 to 114) and his age (33.5 years old).

Davante Adams is a fade at his WR25/50th overall ADP as he enters his age-34 season. His yards per route run has dipped to 1.96 (24th among WRs), and his targets have declined for three consecutive years (175 to 141 to 114). The Rams' aggressive pursuit of other wide receivers in the offseason suggests the organization is preparing for his decline, signaling a potential 'cliff' scenario for his fantasy production.NegativeBustAug 13, 2026
Applepay advises avoiding Davante Adams in drafts, citing declining volume in 2025 and the Rams' apparent apprehension about his 2026 outlook, evidenced by their pursuit of other wide receivers.

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.

Samwise prefers Mike Evans over Devante Adams, citing unsustainable touchdown regression (14 TDs on 114 targets last year), declining offensive efficiency, McVay's preference for tight ends (potentially running 14 personnel with four TEs), and Adams's age as concerns; he does not expect Adams to repeat last year's TD production.PositiveValueJun 11, 2026

When on the field, DeVante Adams has significantly more upside than Jalen Waddle in the context of the Rams offense. Last year he posted an absolutely ridiculous red zone target rate; Matt Stafford consistently targeted him in the red zone, making him the clear focal point despite inefficient red zone conversion.
