Mike Clay predicts Davante Adams, Colby Parkinson will score fewer touchdowns in 2026

Summary

ESPN analyst Mike Clay forecasts that Rams' Davante Adams and Colby Parkinson are set to score fewer touchdowns in the upcoming 2026 season. Adams, who caught 14 touchdown passes in 2025, faces competition for red zone targets from up-and-coming player Terrance Ferguson. Similarly, Parkinson, who recorded eight touchdowns last season, may struggle to maintain such production as he adjusts to changes in the Rams offense. Historical data suggests a significant drop in touchdown production for players after scoring 14 or more touchdowns in a previous season, with over 95% of players experiencing declines. Discussions around both players’ roles and potential challenges continue as the season approaches.
