Davante Adams vs Michael Wilson: Who Should You Start?
Davante Adams and Michael Wilson are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Davante Adams averaged 13.8 PPG across 14 games with the Los Angeles Rams, while Michael Wilson posted 10.7 PPG in 17 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.
A 3.1-PPG gap gives Davante Adams the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Davante Adams turned 114 targets into 789 yards and 14 touchdowns, while Michael Wilson converted 126 looks into 1006 yards and 7 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 Michael Wilson 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.
