Generally speaking, when a headline asks a yes or no question, the answer is "no." It's called Betteridge's law of headlines, and it's a consistent guide in the journalism world.
If we apply it here, the law tells us that no, Davante Adams won't recreate his 2025 production in 2026.
OK, so it's unlikely that Adams leads the NFL in receiving touchdowns in his age-34 season. But what can we expect from the veteran receiver?
It's not impossible, but it would be somewhat shocking to see him completely fall off a cliff. Adams's game is built to last, as it's based far more on technique and precision than it is on raw, physical gifts. He's been an elite route runner with a top-tier release for the balance of his career, and it's a career with legitimate Hall of Fame credentials. Those kinds of players generally age more gracefully at the position.
That said, his transformation last year into the best red zone weapon in the league probably won't continue. It could, certainly, but the odds don't favor it. Again, he'll turn 34 this season (albeit quite late in the year) and individual red zone production can be a volatile statistic. Even if he's able to separate at nearly the same clip as 2025 near the goal line, there are numerous reasons why he might not score at the same level as he did a year ago.
