The Rams' ability to isolate Adams creates scoring opportunities given his ability to win off the release. Adams caught 14 touchdowns on end zone throws last season, the second most this century (Randy Moss had 16 in 2007), and his seven touchdown receptions from inside the 3-yard line tied for the most (Moss in 2004, Adam Thielen in 2020).PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026

Adams, at 33 years old, is positioned as the No. 2 target in the Rams offense ahead of Colston Ferguson.NegativeRoleJul 21, 2026
Adams was signed by the Los Angeles Rams last year to serve as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Puka Nacua and inherit the target volume left by Cooper Kupp. Adams saw 114 targets and finished as the WR9 in fantasy due to his touchdown production.NegativeBustJul 15, 2026
Adams averaged 15.9 FPTS/game (WR9) and led the league with 14 receiving TDs in 2025, but 110 of his 223 total fantasy points (49.3%) came via end zone looks—more than double any other flex player and the most since Randy Moss in 2007. This is only the second time in Adams' 13-year career he has topped 62 end zone points, signaling statistical anomaly and regression risk. Beyond TD dependence, Adams recorded a career-low 110 yards after the catch (WR73), and at age 37 tied to a 38-year-old QB (Matthew Stafford) with a history of back issues, the gamble is substantial. The source argues there is no need to take such risk in the fifth round when reliable veterans like Tee Higgins or potential breakouts like Emeka Egbuka are available.
