Davante Adams is back, not that he ever left.After shockingly being left off the Top 100 Players list last year, Adams returned to where he rightfully belongs by making the cut this year. The NFL announced on Thursday that Adams came in at No. 53 in the 2026 rankings, a big jump after being snubbed a season ago. The list is voted on by players, which made his exclusion last year so surprising.Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions in only 14 games last season, his first year with the Los Angeles Rams. He developed a strong connection with Matthew Stafford and became the best red zone threat in the league, scoring most of his touchdowns from within the 5-yard line.No. 53 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026@RamsNFL WR Davante Adams! @NFLFilmspic.twitter.com/6w5nL5EEnm NFL (@NFL) July 23, 2026Prior to missing the cut last year, Adams had made the top 100 every year from 2018-2024, which spanned seven straight seasons.
