The Rams' lack of effectiveness in 11 personnel (three receivers, one tight end) compared to their dominance in 13 personnel (three tight ends) may underscore LA's need for a third receiver and suggest that Davante Adams could take a step back from 2025. Game script forced the Rams into 11 personnel on 56.1% of plays versus 36.8% in 13 personnel, playing into San Francisco's defensive scheme. This was a looming offseason concern, and the Rams did not make a high-profile receiver addition to address it.

The Rams' ineffectiveness in 11 personnel (three receivers, single tight end) may underscore a need for a third receiver and suggest Davante Adams could take a step back from 2025. Game script forced LA into 11 personnel on 56.1% of plays (vs. 36.8% in their preferred 13 personnel), and they were significantly less effective in that grouping. This was a looming offseason concern, and LA did not make a high-profile receiver addition to address it.

Adams caught three of six targets for 26 yards, finishing with a 50% catch rate. He was invisible in the first half, catching passes only late to improve his box score appearance. The source flags a concerning trend from last season: Adams routinely only hauls in 50% of his targets, and he started Week 1 on this same foot. Beyond the target efficiency issue, Adams showed his age on Thursday night as the Rams' offense looked slow overall.

The Rams had seven snaps inside the 10 tonight. Davante Adams played one of them. In games with both Adams and Puka Nacua active last year, Adams played 77.8% of snaps inside the 10 with no games under a 50% i10 snap rate.

Davante Adams is priced at 11% for first touchdown scorer against the 49ers in Week 1, a price the source views as undervalued. Adams was targeted 31 times inside the 20-yard line last season (third most) and hauled in 13 catches, with 12 of those being touchdowns. The source describes Adams as Stafford's safety blanket and notes that McVay often opted to go to him rather than run in the red zone. The source suggests Adams could score on the Rams' first trip down the field.

Adams had the most ridiculous red-zone WR season of 2025, leading with 0.76 touchdowns per game inside the 20-yard line on a 27% target share; only Amon-Ra St. Brown and Drake London came close. Outside the red zone, he was a deep threat on an 18% target share, 0% screen share and 15.6 average depth of target. The Rams project for 26.0 points (fourth) this week in Australia, and the 49ers defense is limping with Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and others returning from injury; they just lost a key DT and still don't have 2025 first-round DE Mykel Williams. Adams has a solid 9.3 half-PPR point projection and 51.5 receiving yards in the betting markets as a startable WR3, but that's discounting him a ton from his top-10 fantasy WR season last year.

Adams caught a league-best 14 touchdown passes last season despite taking six games to establish consistent connection with Stafford; with a full offseason to build chemistry, Adams expressed confidence: 'The sky's the limit, that's what they say. We know what he can do and I think we know what I can do as well and with more time together... I got a feeling that, God willing, we go out there and stay healthy and be able to do what we do as playmakers. I think we'll like what we see.' The source frames this as significant upside given the Rams' league-leading offense.
