Davante Adams Needs Stronger Output Following Brutal Rams Debut

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams struggled in Thursday's season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, posting three catches for 26 yards and zero touchdowns on a -1.7 total EPA and -9.9% catch rate over expected. Adams saw minimal usage in 13 personnel during red-zone plays in the loss. Los Angeles needs higher production from the veteran pass catcher to maximize its offensive potential alongside Puka Nacua and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
