Davante Adams Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

The early ECR is pricing Davante Adams as a mid-WR2 and I'm simply not buying it. Last year was actually a red flag season disguised as a good 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. That kind of touchdown volume is notoriously hard to replicate year over year. Even though Matthew Stafford is back under center in LA, he may not force-feed Adams in the end zone as he did in 2025 en route to an MVP award. On top of that, Adams turns 33 and dealt with a lower-body tissue injury in 2025 that cost him time — at his age, that's not something you just brush off. When I look at the totality of it — the age, the injury, the TD regression risk, the declining efficiency numbers — I see a player far more likely to fall off than to replicate what he did last year.
