Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams delivered a standout performance in Monday night's 28-6 victory over the New York Giants. He caught eight of his 10 targets for 195 yards and two touchdowns, good for 41.5 points in standard PPR fantasy scoring.
ESPN fantasy analyst Field Yates reviewed the game on the "Fantasy Focus" program and called it a vintage showing from the 33-year-old. Yates noted that Adams was used extensively beyond the red zone and said the wideout clearly remains productive, even after a quiet Week 1.
Yates pointed out that Puka Nacua's absence contributed to Adams' heavy workload. He raised the question of whether Adams needs Nacua to miss time in order to post large numbers, adding that the outlook on Nacua's hip injury remains unclear.
Looking ahead to Week 3, the Rams face a Denver Broncos defense ranked among the league's best, with cornerback Patrick Surtain II posing a difficult assignment. Adams' fantasy managers are advised to monitor Nacua's status before setting lineups for that matchup.
