Panthers Aim to Shut Down Rams' Adams
30 Nov
Summary
- Davante Adams, 32, has performed like a top WR despite a WR2 role.
- Carolina's defense is stout in the red zone, ranking top 11.
- Jaycee Horn may shadow Adams, limiting his scoring opportunities.
The Los Angeles Rams' offense has been dominant, averaging over 36 points in four of their last five games, including a recent 34-7 victory over the Buccaneers. Despite a slight dip in Week 11 against the Seahawks, the team's offensive momentum is strong heading into Week 13.
Davante Adams, at 32, has exceeded expectations, performing like a top wide receiver and ranking eighth in average scoring among his peers. His recent form, averaging 19.9 points over the last five games, highlights his continued impact.
However, Adams faces a challenge in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina's defense has proven surprisingly stout, especially in the red zone, ranking within the top 11 for red zone trips allowed and ninth in opposing scoring percentage. This could lead to strategies like shadowing Adams with Jaycee Horn, potentially limiting his scoring opportunities near the end zone.
