2025 Fantasy Outlook
Adams started 26 of the 30 games in which he appeared over the past two seasons, averaging 83 tackles and 5.5 passes defensed. With offseason addition Andre Cisco expected to man one of the starting safety spots, Adams will compete with rookie fourth-round pick Malachi Moore for the other, though the loser of that competition will likely still contribute in packages that call for extra defensive backs.

Adams (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Adams will be inactive after being downgraded to doubtful Saturday afternoon. The safety didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday during Week 14 prep, but he logged a full session Friday, putting him on track to return to action next week. Isaiah Oliver is expected to start in Adams' place opposite Malachi Moore, but the Jets also signed Jordan Clark this week, plus they elevated Tre Brown and Nik Needham from the practice squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could lose starting spot to rookie
SNew York Jets
June 8, 2025
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic believes rookie fourth-round pick Malachi Moore has a chance to beat out Adams for a starting safety role in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Moore has looked good early in OTAs. His measurables don't stand out, but Moore has been lauded for his football IQ as a four-year starter at Alabama. Adams has made 26 starts over the past two seasons, but that was under a different coaching staff. Free-agent addition Andre Cisco is expected to assume a starting role, leaving Moore and Adams to battle for the other starting spot at safety.
