News: 21 hours agoAdams didn't suit up for any of the Rams' three-game preseason schedule.

Spin: After logging at least 1,000 receiving yards six times in seven seasons between 2018 and 2024, Adams put together just 789 such yards in his age-33 campaign last year over 14 regular-season games, though he did miss three contest due to a hamstring injury. He salvaged his season with an NFL-leading 14 touchdown catches, displaying an incredible rapport with QB Matthew Stafford. With the Rams' top WR, Puka Nacua, still tending to psoas soreness a week before the team's Week 1 matchup with the 49ers next Thursday, Sept. 10, Adams effectively could be Stafford's No. 1 target out of the gate if Nacua isn't 100 percent.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Adams' first season in Los Angeles was a success, as the veteran led the wide receiver position in touchdowns for the third time in the past six seasons. His 27 end zone targets were nine more than any other player and he now sits second in that category (148) and in TDs from scrimmage (117) since entering the league in 2014. Adams' ninth-place finish in fantasy PPG marked his ninth top-10 in his past 10 seasons. Now 33 years old, he isn't targeted as much as in years past (24% target share in 2025 was his lowest since 2016), but he's the clear No. 2 behind Puka Nacua in the Rams' elite, Matthew Stafford-led offense. Adams' heavy usage near the goal line helps cement him as a fine fantasy WR2.
