Davante Adams vs Nico Collins: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Davante Adams finished the 2025 season at 13.8 PPG over 14 games with the Los Angeles Rams, while Nico Collins clocked in at 12.7 across 15 appearances for the Houston Texans. A 1.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Davante Adams turned 114 targets into 789 yards and 14 touchdowns, while Nico Collins converted 120 looks into 1117 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 Nico Collins Week 14. 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.
