Brian Thomas vs Davante Adams: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Brian Thomas and Davante Adams is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver put up 8.2 PPG in 2025 over 14 games; Davante Adams of the Los Angeles Rams averaged 13.8 in 14. A 5.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.6 points favors Davante Adams, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Brian Thomas turned 91 targets into 707 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Davante Adams converted 114 looks into 789 yards and 14 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Brian Thomas is off Week 12 and Davante Adams Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
