Davante Adams' Outlook with Rams and Stafford in 2025

<h3 data-start="99" data-end="165">Davante Adams of the Los Angeles Rams Quietly Delivered in 2024 — Even on a Messy New York Jets Offense</h3>
<p data-start="167" data-end="394">It might surprise fantasy managers to learn that <strong data-start="216" data-end="252">Adams posted 141 targets</strong> last year — despite a midseason team switch and one of the NFL&#8217;s most dysfunctional passing attacks with the New York Jets. He finished with:</p>
<ul data-start="396" data-end="467">
<li data-start="396" data-end="422">
<p data-start="398" data-end="422"><strong data-start="398" data-end="422">1063 receiving yards</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="423" data-end="441">
<p data-start="425" data-end="441"><strong data-start="425" data-end="441">8 touchdowns</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="442" data-end="467">
<p data-start="444" data-end="467"><strong data-start="444" data-end="467">WR22 in PPR formats</strong></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="469" data-end="759">Most of those numbers came in <strong data-start="499" data-end="530">the back half of the season</strong>, showing he still had WR1 potential in stretches. Now in Los Angeles with <strong data-start="605" data-end="625">Matthew Stafford</strong> and alongside <strong data-start="640" data-end="654">Puka Nacua</strong>, Adams enters 2025 in a more stable situation — albeit one where he’s likely the WR2 on the depth chart.</p>
<hr data-start="761" data-end="764" />
<h3 data-start="766" data-end="817">New Role in LA: Less Pressure, More Efficiency?</h3>
<p data-start="819" data-end="1044">With Nacua established as Stafford’s go-to guy, Adams won’t have to deal with <strong data-start="897" data-end="927">double coverage every week</strong>. For the first time since early in his Packers career, he’ll draw <strong data-start="994" data-end="1015">secondaries’ CB2s</strong>, not their shutdown corners.</p>
<p data-start="1046" data-end="1257">That could allow Adams to thrive in <strong data-start="1082" data-end="1101">1-on-1 matchups</strong>, especially on intermediate and red zone routes. Stafford still has plenty of arm left, and Sean McVay knows how to scheme space — even for aging wideouts.</p>
<blockquote data-start="1259" data-end="1416">
<p data-start="1261" data-end="1416">✅ <strong data-start="1263" data-end="1283">Projection range</strong>: 90–100 receptions, 1,100–1,200 yards, 6–10 TDs<br data-start="1331" data-end="1334" /><br />
🎯 <strong data-start="1339" data-end="1362">Fantasy Draft Range</strong>: WR2 target in Round 3/4 (ADP ~36 in 12-team formats)</p>
</blockquote>
<hr data-start="1418" data-end="1421" />
<h3 data-start="1423" data-end="1466">Betting Angle: Don’t Sleep on the Floor</h3>
<p data-start="1468" data-end="1702">Despite being 32 years old, Adams still profiles as one of the <strong data-start="1531" data-end="1552">safest floor bets</strong> among WR2s in 2025. Sportsbooks have priced him based on last year’s production — not the potential boost from playing in a functional offense again.</p>
<p data-start="1704" data-end="1745">Here are his most relevant betting props:</p>
<ul data-start="1747" data-end="2205">
<li data-start="1747" data-end="1904">
<p data-start="1749" data-end="1904"><strong data-start="1749" data-end="1782">Receiving Yards (O/U 1,025.5)</strong> – <strong data-start="1785" data-end="1802">Take the Over</strong><br data-start="1802" data-end="1805" /><br />
If Stafford stays healthy, Adams should smash this. He hit 1,063 in a <em data-start="1877" data-end="1885">broken</em> offense last year.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="1906" data-end="2061">
<p data-start="1908" data-end="2061"><strong data-start="1908" data-end="1942">Receiving Touchdowns (O/U 6.5)</strong> – <strong data-start="1945" data-end="1958">Lean Over</strong><br data-start="1958" data-end="1961" /><br />
Adams remains a dominant red zone target. He’s a great bet to reach 8+ again if Stafford connects.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2063" data-end="2205">
<p data-start="2065" data-end="2205"><strong data-start="2065" data-end="2090">Receptions (O/U 86.5)</strong> – <strong data-start="2093" data-end="2110">Take the Over</strong><br data-start="2110" data-end="2113" /><br />
Even with Nacua ahead of him, Adams will get 6–7 targets per game in a pass-heavy offense.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<hr data-start="2207" data-end="2210" />
<h3 data-start="2212" data-end="2268">ADP Context: Better Value Than Risers With More Risk</h3>
<p data-start="2270" data-end="2337">Let’s compare Adams to other WRs in the same ADP tier (Rounds 3–4):</p>
