Rams' Davante Adams: Team-high yardage total in OT loss
Rotowire
Adams brought in five of 11 targets for 88 yards in the Rams' 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.
Adams edged Puka Nacua by three for the team lead in receiving yards, and he was one target behind his teammate for the top spot in that category as well. Adams' yardage and target tallies were also his best since Week 2 and second highest of the campaign in both cases. Nacua remains the clear alpha option in the Rams' air attack, but Adams' role as the No. 2 receiver is just as clearly delineated heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Rams' Davante Adams: Extends TD streak to three games
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) finished with four receptions on six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.
Adams got in a limited practice Friday and overcame a questionable tag from a hamstring injury in order to suit up for Sunday's tilt, and the veteran superstar cashed in his third receiving touchdown in as many weeks in the waning moments of the first half. Puka Nacua (13-170-1) stole the show offensively, but Adams has been producing strong numbers operating as the No. 2 option for the Rams this season. The 32-year-old will carry a 17-269-3 receiving line into Thursday's home matchup against the 49ers in Week 5.

Rams' Davante Adams: Active against Colts
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran wideout was able to get in a limited practice Friday after sitting out the first two sessions of the week, and Adams has now validated head coach Sean McVay's optimism that he'd be able to suit up and fill his usual No. 2 role against Indianapolis. Adams thus has far proven an ideal complementary fit in the Rams' air attack alongside No. 1 receiver Puka Nacua, posting a 13-213-2 line on 29 targets through his first three contests.

Rams' Davante Adams: Still on track for Week 4
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is set to play Sunday against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said prior to Friday's practice that Adams was trending toward playing Sunday despite taking a questionable tag into the weekend, and the wideout's outlook seemingly hasn't changed coming out of the team's final Week 4 practice session. Fowler notes, however, that the Rams intend to be "smart" with Adams, so while the veteran receiver isn't expected to face major restrictions, he could be subject to a slight reduction in his snap count. Through his first three games with the Rams, Adams has been highly productive as the No. 2 pass-game option behind Puka Nacua, accruing a 13-213-2 receiving line on 29 targets.

Rams' Davante Adams: Questionable, expected to play
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, but Rams head coach Sean McVay expects the wideout to play, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams' outlook could change after practice, but McVay is usually straightforward when it comes to injury updates. The veteran wideout didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, after handling his usual workload in a Week 3 loss to the Eagles.

Rams' Davante Adams: Officially no practice Thursday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams hasn't practiced so far during Week 4 prep due to what coach Sean McVay has termed a sore hamstring, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. McVay also isn't concerned about Adams' availability for Sunday's game against the Colts, but ultimately Friday's injury report will unveil if the wide receiver has a designation entering the weekend.

Rams' Davante Adams: Dealing with sore hamstring
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to a sore hamstring, but he doesn't believe the wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Adams has been targeted early and often to start his stint with the Rams, racking up 29 targets through three games. Overall, he's hauled in 13 of them for 213 yards and two touchdowns. Now that he's tending to a health concern, though, Adams' stats bears watching this week to see if he's able to emerge without a designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Rams' Davante Adams: Scores long touchdown
Rotowire
Adams recorded three receptions on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.
Adams beat Cooper DeJean deep down the left sideline late in the first quarter for a 44-yard touchdown. That accounted for the majority of Adams' production on the day, as Puka Nacua overshadowed him. While Nacua's role in the offense is likely to take some of the upside away from Adams, the latter has at least eight targets in all three of his games with the Rams.

Rams' Davante Adams: Leads Rams receivers
Rotowire
Adams recorded six receptions on 13 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 33-19 win over the Titans.
Adams led the Rams' pass catchers in targets and receiving yards, thanks in large part to long catches of 33 and 26 yards. He also recorded his first touchdown as a Ram on a 16-yard connection in the back corner of the end zone midway through the fourth quarter. Adams showed strong rapport with Matthew Stafford, which should bode well for his production moving forward, though he and the Rams will face a tough matchup against the Eagles in Week 3.

Rams' Davante Adams: Solid debut with new club
Rotowire
Adams had four receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Texans.
Adams finished second in targets, receptions and receiving yards in a successful debut for the Rams after inking a two-year, $46 million deal this past offseason. The 32-year-old's poor catch rate (50 percent) could be attributed to lack of preseason reps with Matthew Stafford while the QB dealt with an ailing back. Adams' pursuit of a sixth straight 1,000-yard receiving season continues in a road tilt against the Titans next Sunday.

Rams' Davante Adams: Healthy and happy in LA
Rotowire
Adams said Tuesday that he feels rejuvenated with the Rams, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Adams had a nice run for fantasy purposes with the Jets last season, but he caught just 58.8 percent of his targets in 11 games, relying on massive volume (114 targets) and touchdowns (seven) rather than per-target efficiency. That was also the case for most of his time in Las Vegas, where he caught 100 of 180 targets (55.6 percent) in 2022 and 103 of 175 targets (58.9 percent) in 2024. He'll likely have a higher catch rate but less target volume after joining the Rams on a two-year contract, as he's now sharing an offense with QB Matthew Stafford and WR Puka Nacua. Positive reports from June minicamp don't erase concerns about age-related decline for the 32-year-old Adams, but there's an opportunity for impressive production if he still has juice; he'll potentially playing for a good team for the first time since he was traded away from Green Bay after the 2021 campaign.

Davante Adams: Time in New York ends
Rotowire
The Jets released Adams on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams had no guaranteed money remaining on his contract, and the decision to release the veteran wideout saves the Jets $29.9M in salary-cap space. The 32-year-old wideout is coming off a 2024 season in which he recorded 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns over 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11). Adams will head into free agency as one of the top available options at his position.

Jets' Davante Adams: Available for trade
Rotowire
The Jets are open to trading Adams before the start of the new league year on March 12, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Rapoport adds that the Jets are expected to release Adams if they cannot arrange a trade elsewhere, and, if he's let go, he could follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a new team in free agency. New York officially informed Rodgers on Feb. 13 that the team would not bring him back after his second season with the team. Adams reunited with the quarterback, who was his longtime teammate during their time in Green Bay, when the wideout was traded from the Raiders to the Jets in October. The 32-year-old posted 67 receptions for 854 yards and seven touchdowns over 11 games in the Big Apple. He also tallied 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown over three games with Las Vegas in 2024, marking his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. Adams would incur a $38.2 million cap hit for the Jets next season if he's cut, and he has two years remaining on his current contract, though none of his salary is guaranteed. Teams interested in acquiring him would likely prefer to wait until he is released before attempting to sign him on a lower number in free agency, which will make finding a trade partner by March 12 rather difficult.

Jets' Davante Adams: Fifth straight 1,000-yard season
Rotowire
Adams caught six of 12 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11).
Adams caught the third of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes in what could be both players' final game with the Jets. The questions about whether Rodgers will return to the NFL at all don't apply to Adams, and with five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the 32-year-old wideout is primed to remain a fantasy force wherever he plays in 2025. Adams has a potential out in his contract this offseason, which the Jets could opt to utilize rather than committing to the two years and $71.8 million remaining on his deal.

Jets' Davante Adams: Limited by hip in loss
Rotowire
Adams (hip) caught five of eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.
Adams suited up after posting just one limited practice during the week but got off to a slow start, with only one catch for nine yards in the first half. He came alive on the first possession of the third quarter, notching two catches for 32 yards in addition to drawing a pass interference penalty, but Adams faded back into obscurity after that short burst of production. Adams was held to fewer than 11 targets for only the second time in his last eight games, and his involvement could be lower than usual again in Week 18 against the Dolphins if Adams remains bothered by his hip injury.

Jets' Davante Adams: Active versus Bills
Rotowire
Adams (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Adams was listed as a non-participant on New York's practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, then worked in a limited capacity Friday before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With Adams available Sunday, the talented wideout is poised to remain a key Week 17 target for QB Aaron Rodgers in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks. Over his last four outings, Adams has averaged a fantasy-friendly 7.5 catches on 12 targets for 110.3 yards, while notching five TDs in that span.

Jets' Davante Adams: Likely to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Adams, who is questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo due to a hip injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reported Friday that the Jets were optimistic about Adams being able to play Sunday, and the star wideout still looks to be trending toward suiting up against the Bills. Adams practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but there's no indication he'll have any restrictions if he suits up as expected Sunday. Schefter notes that Adams "would like to" be on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers' 500th touchdown pass -- the veteran quarterback would reach that milestone with his next scoring toss.

Adams (hip) returned to practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams was listed as a non-participant on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout looked good during Friday's session, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.

Jets' Davante Adams: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Adams (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams, who was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, was spotted off to the side during Thursday's session, per Cimini, so what the wideout is able to Friday will loom large with regard to his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. Unless Adams upgrades to full participation to close the week, however, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.
