The 2026 NFL season is on the horizon, and players have started lining up in the annual NFL Top 100 rankings. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Rams’ wide receiver, Davante Adams, was acknowledged as the 53rd top player in the league, as determined through votes by active players.
Adams is entering the new season following his 12th NFL term and debut year with the Rams. At age 33, Adams proved himself as a top red-zone target for MVP Matthew Stafford, snagging a league-leading 14 receiving touchdowns in 2025. In addition, he joined an elite group of only 18 NFL players to have secured 1,000 career receptions.
In a conversation with NFL Top 100, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua praised Adams’ remarkable abilities on the field. “There are moments when he’s running routes, and you can feel the ground shake, ‘Holy cow,’ you think. He’s exerting immense force,” Nacua commented. “With defenders covering me, they also have to keep an eye on Davante Adams. Once we’re inside the 25-yard line, he aims for six points.”
While leading the league in receiving touchdowns, Adams encouraged his teammate Nacua, who gained prominence with a league-high 129 receptions. Nacua achieved a personal best of 1,715 yards and ten touchdowns during his third season with the Rams.
The Rams are set to kick off their 2026 regular-season campaign with a “Thursday Night Football” game against the San Francisco 49ers scheduled for September 10.
