Adams' volatility is structural and likely to persist unless Puka Nakua is injured. When both were on the field together, Adams out-targeted Puka 31-10 in the red zone and 28-4 in end zone targets, establishing him as the go-to option only when the Rams abandon the run game. The source notes this pattern has followed Adams across multiple teams (Jets, Packers, Raiders). Kyle Shanahan's consideration of trading Adams for AJ Brown signals the team views him as their second-best receiver, not a target hog, and they intend to keep his role low-volume to prevent him from leaving the field every other play late in the season.

Adams' target distribution is highly volatile and red-zone dependent: 27% target share inside the red zone versus 18% outside; 0% of his targets outside the red zone were screens, indicating no manufactured touches. His average depth of target was nearly 16 yards downfield, comparable to Alec Pierce. The Rams' rushing success rate (number one in the league) and reliance on Blake Corum and Kyron Williams means Adams will remain boom-bust, dependent on either scoring a red zone touchdown or connecting on downfield plays.

The source notes Adams is entering his age-35 season but has proven to be an outlier whose game is holding up far better than his peers. Though no longer at peak physical powers, the six-time Pro Bowler still cooks defenders with crafty routes, particularly in the red zone where he led the league with 14 touchdown catches in 2026. So long as the decline in physical tools this season isn't too steep, Adams should remain the kind of figure who can lift a passing attack to another level.

The source predicts Adams has his best season since 2022, projecting 1200 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns. While Adams is on his decline with less burst than previous years, he still poses a significant red-zone threat and his size is a huge weapon on the outside. The key is that Adams and Stafford will have an actual training camp this summer, unlike last year when Stafford missed bulk of it due to lingering back issues; this rapport-building should lead to a bigger receiving year for Adams.
