Davante Adams vs Travis Hunter: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two wide receivers. Davante Adams (Los Angeles Rams) averaged 13.8 PPG over 14 games in 2025, outscoring Travis Hunter (Jacksonville Jaguars, 7.1 PPG) by 6.7 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
A 6.7-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.
Target volume is the story here. Davante Adams saw 114 targets in 2025, while Travis Hunter drew 45. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Davante Adams, even in weeks where Travis Hunter posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 8 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
