Davante Adams vs Emeka Egbuka: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Davante Adams and Emeka Egbuka for your lineup, you are not alone. Davante Adams finished the 2025 season at 13.8 PPG for the Los Angeles Rams (14 games), and Emeka Egbuka averaged 9.7 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (17 games).
That 4.1-point weekly advantage for Davante Adams is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Davante Adams turned 114 targets into 789 yards and 14 touchdowns, while Emeka Egbuka converted 127 looks into 938 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Davante Adams is off Week 6 and Emeka Egbuka Week 11. 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.
