Davante Adams' connection with Matthew Stafford was far from perfect in Week 1 against the 49ers, as Stafford did not throw a TD despite Adams being a primary target. The source notes that Stafford's reigning MVP season saw him throw at least 1 TD in every game, suggesting the Week 1 performance was an outlier. With extra rest and a more favorable matchup against the Giants in Week 2, the Stafford-Adams connection should improve.

Adams' Week 1 performance (3 catches, 26 yards, 0 TDs, -1.7 EPA, -9.9% CPOE) was brutal and raises concerns about his 2026 production despite his game aging well historically. The source notes age and increased injuries in recent seasons compound concerns; if Adams declines at a steeper rate than expected, the Rams' passing attack faces a tenuous position given the receiver corps is built around him, Puka Nacua, and role players. Red zone usage was limited (1 of 2 pass plays in 9 red zone snaps). While Week 1 is often misleading, this performance highlights how critical it is for Adams to elevate his play as the season continues.

The Rams' lack of effectiveness in 11 personnel (three receivers, one tight end) compared to their dominance in 13 personnel (three tight ends) may underscore LA's need for a third receiver and suggest that Davante Adams could take a step back from 2025. Game script forced the Rams into 11 personnel on 56.1% of plays versus 36.8% in 13 personnel, playing into San Francisco's defensive scheme. This was a looming offseason concern, and the Rams did not make a high-profile receiver addition to address it.

The Rams' ineffectiveness in 11 personnel (three receivers, single tight end) may underscore a need for a third receiver and suggest Davante Adams could take a step back from 2025. Game script forced LA into 11 personnel on 56.1% of plays (vs. 36.8% in their preferred 13 personnel), and they were significantly less effective in that grouping. This was a looming offseason concern, and LA did not make a high-profile receiver addition to address it.
