Davante Adams didn't have a big statistical season in his first season with the Los Angeles Rams — relative to his career, at least. The 12-year veteran finished with just 60 receptions for 789 yards in 14 games, both of which were the lowest of his career in a single season since his second season in 2015.
Adams, did, however, make the most of his receptions in 2025. Not only did he finish with a league-best 14 receiving touchdowns, but 85.0% of his 60 receptions ended with either a first-down or a touchdown, according to NFL senior researcher Tony Holzman-Escareno. That mark led all receivers this past year nearly 7%.
Adams was a fiend in the moments that mattered for L.A. Matthew Stafford constantly targeted him in the red zone, where he scored most of his touchdowns. Adams' 51 receptions for a first down also tied for 10th-most in the league overall, although it was 29 receptions behind his teammate and league-leader in first-down catches, Puka Nacua.
This was a great role for Adams as he progresses in his career. While he had five consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards before joining the Rams, Adams no longer needs to be the focal point of the offense. In reality, he was essentially what Cooper Kupp was for L.A. in 2024 but with more end zone and contested catch capabilities.
