Latest takes
“Davante Adams tied Amon-Ra St. Brown with a league-high 32 red-zone targets in the regular season. Adams’ red-zone usage was absurd.”

“Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Inside Sean McVay’s pass‑heavy offense, Davante Adams remains a high‑end fantasy player. Even while playing next to Puka Nacua’s historic WR1 season, Adams scored 14 touchdowns in 14 games.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 27“He’s only finished outside the top 15 of fantasy receivers once since 2015, and that was due to an injury-shortened campaign back in 2019. Adams has eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in six of the past eight seasons (missing out on his seventh by only three yards).”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 26“The FantasyPros ECR is pricing Davante Adams as a low-end fantasy football WR2. But 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 (three coming in a game without Puka Nacua ).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“He has contingent upside if Puka Nacua or Davante Adams miss any games.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 19“With offensive wizard Sean McVay as his head coach and the dynamic duo of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at wide receiver, Stafford seems well positioned for another big season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“13: Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Many are expecting significant touchdown regression for Davante Adams.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 10“For the first time in a long time, Davante Adams is priced outside the top-24 WRs:”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“Having Davante Adams and Puka Nacua has elevated his fantasy value, and the Rams are built to make one more run with Stafford under center.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 5“When Davante Adams is currently discussed, the conversation revolves around his age, the QB’s age, his coach, the other receivers on the team, pretty much anything and everything BUT his concussion history.”
Peter Kettering· Jul 24“There’s a chance Stafford’s goal-line connection with Davante Adams (another overvalued player on ESPN ) helps inoculate him from this regression.”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 22“Los Angeles WR Davante Adams ranked 10th on this same list: “His instincts and route running are still there even as his athletic traits have declined,” an NFC exec said.”
Wyatt Grindley· Jul 19“While Davante Adams doesn't receive a ton of volume, he is a touchdown machine.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 10
“David Montgomery (RB – HOU) Towards the end of the season, as Jahmyr Gibbs started his superhuman play, David Montgomery’s role began to shrink with Detroit.”
Ryan Kirksey· Sep 4“This offseason, Detroit traded David Montgomery to Houston, leaving Jahmyr Gibbs as the only threat in the backfield.”

“Longshot Bet: David Montgomery to Lead the NFL in Rushing Yards (+8000) David Montgomery has bell-cow history.”
Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2“David Montgomery (HOU) At his cost in the middle rounds, Montgomery has the potential to win your league.”
Joshua Poniatowski· Sep 2“How often do you hear that a 29-year-old running back could be a league winner? Not often, but in the case of David Montgomery , that is the case! He is being drafted in the early 4th round, making him a prime target for “hero WR” drafters.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 2“For all those reasons, David Montgomery is a player I am not leaving any drafts with, especially because this potential top-12 running back can be drafted.” – Adam Dove ( The Fantasy Couriers ) Travis Etienne Jr.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30“Montgomery has played seven seasons in the NFL and has had 201 carries or more in five of them. He fell under that number in the last two seasons (185 in 2024 and 158 in 2025), but that was mostly due to how utterly unstoppable Jahmyr Gibbs is.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29“David Montgomery (RB – HOU) When Houston added David Montgomery on a two-year, $16.5 million deal to pry him away from Detroit, I was hopeful that the Texans would allow him to immediately slide into a featured role. One where he would dominate the backfield touches for the team, operating as the clear-cut No. 1 RB for the first time since his days with the Chicago Bears.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 28“David Montgomery (RB – HOU) “ David Montgomery landed in a great situation in Houston! He is running behind a much-improved, revamped line.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“In seven seasons, Montgomery only has two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. However, he has finished as a top-24 RB in six of them.”
Colt Williams· Aug 27“In addition to the headline question, I was asked about keeping David Montgomery for a sixth-round pick in half-PPR leagues.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 22“Round 6: David Montgomery (RB – HOU) David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans, and he’ll immediately bolster their backfield.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“It’s no surprise that David Montgomery believes he can be a lead back in the NFL and carry a full workload.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“added much-needed help to the offensive line and a dependable lead-back in David Montgomery .”
