Davante Adams vs Lamar Jackson

“13: Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Many are expecting significant touchdown regression for Davante Adams.”

“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 ). That kind of touchdown volume is notoriously hard to replicate year over year.”

“For the first time in a long time, Davante Adams is priced outside the top-24 WRs:”

“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.”

“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.”

“There’s a chance Stafford’s goal-line connection with Davante Adams (another overvalued player on ESPN ) helps inoculate him from this regression.”

“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.”

“While Davante Adams doesn't receive a ton of volume, he is a touchdown machine.”

“Some players are TD monsters every year (Davante Adams) while others have shown that six or seven TDs is their ceiling such as Keenan Allen.”

“Davante Adams finished as the fantasy WR8 last season, yet 14 of his 60 receptions last year went for touchdowns. Adams is coming off a career-low catch rate (53%) and YAC per reception total, and at 33 years old, will need to compete with Puka Nacua and the Rams' bevy of tight ends for targets.”

“Davante Adams led the league in touchdowns for the third time in his career, developing an elite red-zone connection with Matthew Stafford.”

“A lot of Adams' fantasy scoring came from touchdowns, finishing with a league-high 14. Adams has been consistently at the top in end-zone targets, but his fantasy scoring is becoming increasingly dependent on them.”

“Unfortunately, Jackson had arguably his worst season as a starter in 2025. He missed four games because of injury and played part of the year hurt. The superstar finished as the QB14 on a points-per-game basis among qualifying quarterbacks, averaging 19.8 fantasy points per contest. However, I expect a bounce-back season for Jackson, especially with Declan Doyle taking over as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator.”

“The Ravens dealt with Lamar Jackson being injured on and off for the year, and he still had that finish.”

“Declan Doyle is the new offensive coordinator and early returns are favorable. He comes from the Ben Johnson coaching tree, so I think we will see them use Jackson in ways we haven’t seen before.”

“Lamar Jackson – 0.58 Most rushing TDs on fewer than 200 carries in 2025: 1”

“Lamar Jackson , Jayden Daniels , Joe Burrow , Baker Mayfield , and Kyler Murray all were selected as top-12 players at the position and finished double-digit slots behind expectations in terms of points per game.”

“If Lamar Jackson can bounce back, Henry could inch back closer to his 2024 production (RB4 in fantasy points per game).”

“Injuries and a steep decline in rushing production cratered Lamar Jackson ‘s fantasy value in 2025. After finishing QB1 in fantasy scoring in 2024, Jackson plummeted to a QB20 fantasy finish last season and was QB16 in fantasy points per game at the position. Jackson lost three games to an early-season hamstring injury and one game to a late-season back injury.”

“Lamar Jackson cratered many fantasy rosters in 2025. Before an early October hamstring injury, he was on pace for 3,700 passing yards, 437 rushing yards, and 47 total TDs.”

“The most obvious thing to consider is your positional strengths and weaknesses — trading for Lamar Jackson when you already have Josh Allen probably isn’t a good idea.”

“If you want an elite QB, pocket your picks for a round and a half and take Lamar Jackson, instead.”

“There isn’t a single drafted player on the Ravens that goes higher than I would take them, with Lamar Jackson standing out as the single best 1QB value I have ever seen if you want to get a top-two quarterback, going at pick 46, 19 picks past QB1, Josh Allen.”

“With plenty of time to recover from last season, Jackson is a ticking time bomb for fantasy production.”
