CeeDee Lamb vs Davante Adams: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys) finished the 2025 season averaging 11.7 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Davante Adams (Los Angeles Rams) came in at 13.8 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Davante Adams carries a 2.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. CeeDee Lamb turned 117 targets into 1077 yards and 3 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.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: CeeDee Lamb sits Week 7 while Davante Adams is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
