- Snapshot: Davante Adams remains a high-end WR2 in 2025 with upside for weekly WR1 weeks, especially if Puka Nacua’s injury history limits him or if Adams sees more iso looks in McVay’s offense.

- 2025 outlook at a glance
  - Role in offense: Two top-16 WRs in LA with heavy defensive gravity. Adams should operate as a key target in red-zone and on iso opportunities if Puka commands some attention.
  - Target share tilt: Baseline expectation ≈ 60/40 in Adams’ favor when both are healthy; if Puka misses time or is limited, Adams could approach a 2:1 share (roughly 60% of targets overall in those games).
  - Route/relevance ask: Several posters expect Adams to inherit a large portion of Kupp’s routes last year; this could boost his target quality and air yards even if Puka remains healthy.
  - TD upside: Adams has historically high red-zone TD volume (double-digit TDs in many seasons); expect 8–12 TD if health holds, with some weeks higher in favorable matchups.
  - Floor/age risk: Still productive at age 33 (per age-based WR fall-off discussions). Stafford health and offense continuity are the main non-injury risk factors.

- Sentiment among fans/drafters
  - Positive value vs ADP: FF Hound suggests Adams is a clearer value than Puka at current ADP; often seen as a 2nd-round pick, sometimes appealing in the 3rd if you drafted differently.
  - Puka vs Adams tension: Many view Adams as the safer, higher-floor pick in the Rams’ WR duo; others see Adams as potentially losing some ceiling if Puka dominates play-calling or if the offense pivots.
  - Rug pull risk: Some fear aging and quarterback-health risk; others point to high target upside and proven efficiency when paired with top QBs.

- Key discussion points to monitor in drafts
  - Target split assumptions: Expect roughly 60/40 in Adams’ favor when both are healthy; prepare for weeks where Puka dominates the target share and Adams’ volume dips.
  - Role clarity: If Adams runs a large share of Kupp’s routes, his weekly ceiling rises; if not, his fantasy ceiling may hinge more on red-zone targets and volume in two-WR sets.
  - QB/ system risk: Stafford’s health/age and McVay’s offensive pace are swing factors; any downgrade could cap Adams’ upside.
  - Red-zone demands: Adams’ TD projection is a core driver; expect 8–12 TD but be wary of potential year-to-year variability with a high-volume target receiver group.
  - Draft strategy: 
    - In many mocks, Adams lands in the late 2nd to early 3rd; targets around the ADP 12–14 range.
    - If you miss top WRs early, Adams is a strong entry point into the 2nd/early 3rd for stable weekly value.
    - In 12-team leagues, some drafts push him toward the 3rd round as a “value WR2 with upside” if you’ve already loaded at RB/TE.

- Actionable takeaways for 2025 drafts
  - If your build allows it, target Adams as a high-floor WR2 with WR1 upside in favorable matchups, especially if Puka’s injury risk or workload volatility increases.
  - Don’t overdraft him over safer 1st-round/early-2nd WRs unless you’re confident in the Adams-Puka target split and QB health; otherwise consider him as a value pick in the 2nd/3rd.
  - Pairing idea: if you’re worried about Puka, drafting Adams with a solid high-upside WR2 option elsewhere can balance risk (e.g., you get Adams plus a steady floor WR3).

- Red flags to watch
  - Puka workload shifts: Any sustained increase in Puka’s role could compress Adams’ weekly ceiling.
  - Stafford health: Prolonged or recurring QB injuries could curb Adams’ target quality and volume.
  - Age-related regression: Though Adams has shown resilience, monitor weeks with poor game scripts or multiple off weeks; benching strategy may matter more than with younger WRs.

- Bottom line
  - Adams is a realistic top-15 WR with spike weeks and strong TD upside, especially if Puka’s volume fluctuates. He’s a solid value if you’re targeting a high-floor WR2 with weekly upside, but don’t rely on him as a locked WR1 every week unless the offense maintains high pace and two-dominant WR targets.
