Davante Adams, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver, is projected to have a down year in 2026 after a strong season. Despite leading the league with 14 touchdowns in 2025, analysts cite concerns about his diminishing athleticism and reduced role in the Rams offense. His average of 9.3 points per game in the seven games without a touchdown contributed to these projections. Adams showed effectiveness with an 85 percent first down or touchdown rate on receptions, but injuries at the end of last season raise further questions about his performance going forward. The Rams' upcoming strategies and Adams' health will be pivotal in determining his output this season.
- •Adams recorded 60 receptions for 789 receiving yards in 2025.
- •He sustained a hamstring and knee injury late in the 2025 season.
- •Analysts project Adams may rank closer to WR50 rather than WR25 this year.
- •Pro Football Focus awarded him an 85.2 overall grade, ranking 11th among wide receivers.
- •One report highlights his efficiency despite a drop in overall volume.
