The Los Angeles Rams will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Davante Adams.
Is Davante Adams Playing in Week 12?
Adams is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Adams in Week 12?
Adams caught one of eight targets last week against the Seahawks, and while he hasn’t been the most efficient receiver this season (50% catch rate), that’s a bit extreme.
But because he’s Davante Adams, the one reception was a one-yard touchdown (his 1,000th career catch). At worst, he’s a TD vulture that is on the field plenty, and at best, he’s the most feared red zone threat in the league.
It sounds like all is OK physically with the veteran, so I’m starting him with confidence against a much more favorable opponent.
All 10 of his touchdowns this season have come on end zone targets, and they have an average depth of 8.4 yards, a number that is heavily influenced by the 44-yarder in Week 3’s loss to the Eagles.
This is a unique player filling a unique role, and we have no choice but to embrace it at this point.
