Should You Start or Sit Davante Adams in Week 18?
The only players with more targets than Davante Adams (102) since he debuted for the Jets are Ja’Marr Chase (119) and Malik Nabers (110). That run includes an 11-target performance against these Dolphins in Week 14 (nine catches for 109 yards and a score), and the volume looks as sustainable as it was when this tandem was winning games in a different shade of green.
Adams saw a 2.1-yard average depth of target in last week’s lopsided loss in Buffalo. We could see a similar usage pattern this week with the Dolphins (like the Bills) being a defense that prioritizes taking away the big play. That might limit the raw upside for Adams, but I’m not worried about it. He’s averaging a career-high 5.6 yards per catch after the reception this season.
We could spend time arguing if Adams should be ranked as WR8 or WR18 (my WR14), but I’d be playing him in any spot where I have him.
