26-Year-Old SafetyS
New York Jets
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.

In line for starting role
SNew York Jets
November 3, 2025
Adams is expected to start at free safety with Andre Cisco (pectoral) sidelined for the rest of the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Adams opened the season as a starter alongside Cisco in the Jets' secondary before rookie Malachi Moore replaced him at strong safety in the Week 6 loss to the Broncos. With Cisco set to miss the remainder of the the season, Adams appears positioned to assume a starting role once again. The Illinois product has plenty of experience, having made 30 starts for the Jets over the past three seasons. Expect Adams to take over at free safety in the Week 10 matchup against the Browns.

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.
