Adams said Tuesday that he feels rejuvenated with the Rams, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams had a nice run for fantasy purposes with the Jets last season, but he caught just 58.8 percent of his targets in 11 games, relying on massive volume (114 targets) and touchdowns (seven) rather than per-target efficiency. That was also the case for most of his time in Las Vegas, where he caught 100 of 180 targets (55.6 percent) in 2022 and 103 of 175 targets (58.9 percent) in 2024. He'll likely have a higher catch rate but less target volume after joining the Rams on a two-year contract, as he's now sharing an offense with QB Matthew Stafford and WR Puka Nacua. Positive reports from June minicamp don't erase concerns about age-related decline for the 32-year-old Adams, but there's an opportunity for impressive production if he still has juice; he'll potentially playing for a good team for the first time since he was traded away from Green Bay after the 2021 campaign.

Adams agreed to a two-year, $46 million deal with the Rams on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams' deal includes $26 million in guaranteed salary, per Rapoport, which may make it easy for the Rams to move on from him after the 2025 season if they so choose. The 32-year-old was released by the Jets in a salary-shedding move last Tuesday and was seen as perhaps the top available wide receiver ahead of the free-agent negotiating window starting Monday. Adams recorded 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns over 14 regular-season games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11) in 2024, and he has totaled over 1,000 yards in all but one of the last seven seasons. He'll now join a Rams squad that boasts Pro Bowl veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who agreed to a re-structured contract that kept him in Los Angeles this offseason. Longtime Rams wideout Cooper Kupp is expected to be either cut or traded this offseason. His expected departure should leave Adams to fill a significant role alongside budding star receiver Puka Nacua in this receiving corps, which also includes Jordan Whittington.

The Jets are set to release Adams, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.
EDGE Analysis
Per Schefter, Adams had no guaranteed money remaining on his contract, with the move in line to save the Jets $29.9M in salary-cap space. The 32-year-old wideout is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns over 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11). Adams will head into free agency as one of the top available options at his position.

The Jets are open to trading Adams before the start of the new league year on March 12, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rapoport adds that the Jets are expected to release Adams if they cannot arrange a trade elsewhere, and, if he's let go, he could follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a new team in free agency. New York officially informed Rodgers on Feb. 13 that the team would not bring him back after his second season with the team. Adams reunited with the quarterback, who was his longtime teammate during their time in Green Bay, when the wideout was traded from the Raiders to the Jets in October. The 32-year-old posted 67 receptions for 854 yards and seven touchdowns over 11 games in the Big Apple. He also tallied 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown over three games with Las Vegas in 2024, marking his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. Adams would incur a $38.2 million cap hit for the Jets next season if he's cut, and he has two years remaining on his current contract, though none of his salary is guaranteed. Teams interested in acquiring him would likely prefer to wait until he is released before attempting to sign him on a lower number in free agency, which will make finding a trade partner by March 12 rather difficult.

Adams caught six of 12 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11).
EDGE Analysis
Adams caught the third of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes in what could be both players' final game with the Jets. The questions about whether Rodgers will return to the NFL at all don't apply to Adams, and with five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the 32-year-old wideout is primed to remain a fantasy force wherever he plays in 2025. Adams has a potential out in his contract this offseason, which the Jets could opt to utilize rather than committing to the two years and $71.8 million remaining on his deal.

Adams (hip) caught five of eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Adams suited up after posting just one limited practice during the week but got off to a slow start, with only one catch for nine yards in the first half. He came alive on the first possession of the third quarter, notching two catches for 32 yards in addition to drawing a pass interference penalty, but Adams faded back into obscurity after that short burst of production. Adams was held to fewer than 11 targets for only the second time in his last eight games, and his involvement could be lower than usual again in Week 18 against the Dolphins if Adams remains bothered by his hip injury.

Adams (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was listed as a non-participant on New York's practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, then worked in a limited capacity Friday before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With Adams available Sunday, the talented wideout is poised to remain a key Week 17 target for QB Aaron Rodgers in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks. Over his last four outings, Adams has averaged a fantasy-friendly 7.5 catches on 12 targets for 110.3 yards, while notching five TDs in that span.

Adams, who is questionable for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against Buffalo due to a hip injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reported Friday that there was optimism about Adams being able to play Sunday, and it appears the star wideout will indeed be on the field against the Bills. Adams practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but there's no indication he'll have any restrictions if he suits up as expected Sunday. Schefter notes that the former Packer "would like to" be on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers' 500th touchdown pass -- the veteran quarterback will reach that milestone with his next scoring toss.

Adams (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills but said Friday that he's optimistic about his chances of suiting up, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. If Adams doesn't face any limitations Sunday, he's likely to see another massive workload after drawing at least 11 targets in six of his last seven outings.

Adams (hip) returned to practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was listed as a non-participant on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout looked good during Friday's session, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. The Jets' upcoming injury report will reveal both Adams' participation level and his designation (if any) for Sunday's game against the Bills.
