2026 Fantasy Outlook
Adams was a steady presence in the Bournemouth midfield in 2025/26 when fit, making 21 starts with two goals and two assists under previous coach Andoni Iraola, though he again missed time through injury. He is a high-energy defensive midfielder whose value is built on ball-winning and defensive volume rather than attacking output, so his fantasy appeal is limited to formats that reward those actions. The recurring fitness issues are the main concern, as they cap his appearances and reliability. When he plays he is a regular starter, but he is a deep-league option at best, valued for defensive stats and steady minutes when available, but not a target in standard scoring formats.
To be assessed in coming days
Adams will be assessed over the next couple of days after missing Bournemouth's preseason match at Real Betis, according to coach Marco Rose, per Jordan Clark.
ANALYSIS
Adams' ball-winning ability and composure in possession make him a key piece of Bournemouth's midfield engine, having contributed two goals and two assists across 25 appearances, including 21 starts, last season, along with four appearances for the United States at the World Cup. He's expected to line up as a starter in midfield this season, making his fitness worth monitoring closely. Adams is expected to undergo further evaluation before a clearer timeline emerges.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Red Devils
Adams has emerged as an option for Manchester United but is not expected to be available for transfer, according to Alex Crook of TalkSPORT.
ANALYSIS
Recent reports indicate United have made inquiries as they evaluate alternatives for their midfield rebuild, and one of the targets for manager Michael Carrick could be Adams. However, Bournemouth value the United States international at far more than the £35 million price tag that had been originally reported, and the Cherries aren't keen on parting ways with him this summer. Adams would give United a proven ball-winning midfielder with Premier League experience to fill the void left by Casemiro's departure, but it seems Bournemouth simply won't let him leave.
