Should I start Davante Adams or Nicholas Singleton in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 1:46 AM ET.

Start Davante Adams: 82 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Nicholas Singleton's 12 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size303 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Davante Adams, and the board ranks him 131st overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Nicholas Singleton, and the board ranks him 132nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Davante Adams is 3.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Nicholas Singleton is 0.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Davante Adams's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season so far

Through Week 6, Davante Adams has been on the field for 76 percent of LAR snaps, drawn 20 percent of the targets and had 12 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 12 of the offence's 53 third down targets, had 2 of its 16 chances inside the five and seen 11 of its 33 two minute targets.

His 49 targets have averaged 15.5 air yards.

In Week 4 against PHI he caught 4 of 9 targets for 32 yards and did not score.

In Week 5 against BUF he caught 5 of 7 targets for 51 yards and scored 2 touchdowns.

In Week 6 against ARI he caught 3 of 4 targets for 39 yards and did not score.

Through Week 4, Nicholas Singleton has been on the field for 12 percent of TEN snaps, taken 13 percent of the carries, drawn 0 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 0 of the offence's 11 third down targets, had 0 of its 10 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 9 two minute targets.

In Week 2 against PHI he carried 4 times for 10 yards and did not score.

In Week 4 against BAL he carried 3 times for 2 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Davante Adams played 14 games and scored 222.9 PPR points, 15.9 a game, finishing WR9.

He caught 60 of 114 targets for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns, with 31 red zone targets.

That came to 8.1 targets a game, a 53 percent catch rate and 13.2 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 70 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Nicholas Singleton is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Davante Adams is a wide receiver and Nicholas Singleton a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Davante Adams is off in Week 11 and Nicholas Singleton in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

Davante Adams is listed as ir on the injury report.

Nicholas Singleton is listed as out on the injury report.
