Davante Adams A Locked-In WR1 Against Steelers

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams practiced in full this week and is expected to suit up against the Steelers on Sunday after leaving last week's game late with concussion symptoms. Adams ranks as the WR17 in half-PPR so far this season, with 17 targets, 12 catches, 150 yards, and one touchdown. The 30-year-old will look to build on that in a promising matchup against the Steelers on Sunday. Adams projects to match up primarily against Pittsburgh CB Levi Wallace who has a below-average 42.0 coverage grade according to PFF. Adams is a safe WR1 for fantasy again this week.

Davante Adams Good To Go

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that wide receiver Davante Adams (head) is "good" after taking a huge hit in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Adams left the game and was being evaluated for a concussion in the 38-10 blowout loss on the road, but he apparently passed the concussion protocol and should be able to play in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if the 30-year-old misses some practice time this week. The six-time Pro Bowler caught six of eight targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss and now has 12 receptions for 150 yards and one TD through the first two games in 2023. Adams is a must-start WR1 as long as he's healthy.

Davante Adams Evaluated For A Concussion

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (head) was being evaluated for a concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The good news for fantasy managers is that Adams was productive before his injury, catching six of his eight targets for 84 yards and his first touchdown of the year in the 38-10 loss in Buffalo. However, he'll now enter the league's concussion protocol this week and could be questionable to play in Week 3 at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's especially concerning for the Raiders, as fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers missed Sunday's game due to a concussion of his own. If Adams cannot play next week, Hunter Renfrow could be the team's top target. We'll monitor Adams' status closely all of next week.

Davante Adams Not On Final Week 2 Injury Report

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (foot) was taken off the team's final injury report on Friday, meaning he will be active in Week 2 in Buffalo against the Bills this Sunday. Adams missed Wednesday's practice but returned to a full practice on Thursday, easing any concerns that fantasy managers may have had that he might be in danger of missing the game against the Bills. The 30-year-old All-Pro pass-catcher caught six of nine targets for 66 yards in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos, and he could see even more looks this weekend with Jakobi Meyers (concussion) ruled out. Even in a tough matchup in a hostile environment on the road, Adams is a must-start WR1.

Davante Adams Back To A Full Participant

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (foot) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. This should ease any concerns that fantasy managers might have had that Adams could potentially miss a Week 2 date with the Buffalo Bills on the road. The matchup on the road in a hostile environment against one of the league's better defenses isn't great, but the 30-year-old Adams is matchup-proof and should remain in all starting fantasy lineups as a must-start WR1 as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's No. 1 targets. Adams caught six of his nine targets for 66 yards in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos and could be in line for even more looks if Jakobi Meyers isn't cleared from a concussion he suffered last Sunday.

Davante Adams Misses Practice With Foot Injury

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (foot) was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury. Adams played the entire game in the Week 1 victory over the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday and finished with six catches (nine targets) for 66 yards in his first regular season game working with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The Raiders are probably just taking it easy on their star wideout early in the year, and we'll have a better idea of whether he's truly in danger of missing Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills on the road. The 30-year-old is a must-start in all fantasy lineups if he's active, but he'll have another tough draw against Buffalo's secondary this week if he plays. Fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers remains in the concussion protocol, so the Raiders receiving corps is a bit beat up early on.

Davante Adams Has Uninspiring Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams caught six of nine targets for 66 receiving yards during the team's 17-16 win against the Broncos on Sunday. This was the 30-year-old's first game with new Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo and while the output was lower than what fantasy managers have come to expect from Adams, his 34.6% target share in Week 1 was promising as a sign of things to come. Adams will look to build on this performance in Week 2 on the road against the Buffalo Bills. He continues to be a low-end WR1 in fantasy.

Davante Adams A Low-End WR1 In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams will look to build on an impressive first season last year after pacing all receivers in target share (32%) and air yards (2,137) in 2022. The 30-year-old will be playing with his third different opening-week quarterback in three years on Sunday with new Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo under center. Garoppolo is historically more conservative than last year's starter Derek Carr. As a result, expect Adams to receive fewer downfield targets albeit with a higher catch rate this season. Adams is a mid-range WR1 in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.

Davante Adams Still The Team's Top Target

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn't known for going deep, but The Athletic's Vic Tafur thinks he should target wide receiver Davante Adams often and all over the field in 2023. Jakobi Meyers is in the mix now, but Adams will still get the majority of the targets, as head coach Josh McDaniel wants to keep him happy after Adams said he doesn't always see eye to eye with the new regime in Vegas. Adams' 180 targets were second in the league in 2022 in his first year with the Raiders, and he also had a league-high 14 receiving touchdowns. Given the QB change alone, the 30-year-old's numbers are expected to take a dip, but he's still no worse than a low-end WR1 with the target volume expected to remain high.

Davante Adams Could Be On The Trade Block

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that we shouldn't be surprised if Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams' name is thrown around as the trade deadline approaches in October. It's unknown if the Raiders would even consider moving Adams, but they unlikely to be in contention in 2023, and Adams initially went to Las Vegas to play with quarterback Derek Carr, who is now in New Orleans. If the Raiders season goes south quickly, Adams could want out, and head coach Josh McDaniels hasn't been shy about trading players he doesn't think fit in his system. Adams turns 31 in December and has $16.89 million in guaranteed salary on the books for next year, so it certainly won't be easy to move him. Trade rumors aside, the six-time Pro Bowler had 100 catches, 1,516 yards and a league-high 14 TDs in 2022 and remains a top-10 fantasy wideout.

Offseason In Review: Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders were unable to follow up their 2021 playoff berth with a .500 season, going 6-11 in Josh McDaniels‘ first year. This generated some faint one-and-done buzz for the polarizing coach. Mark Davis squashed those rumors early, but the second-chance HC faces pressure to make progress in Year 2. The former Patriots staple will […]

Davante Adams To Return To Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (leg) will return to training camp practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Josh McDaniels. Adams left practice last Friday with a right-leg injury, but it was never considered a major injury and he's now back on the field this week. The 30-year-old has been a Pro Bowler each of the last six seasons and a first-team All-Pro each of the last three years. In his first year in Vegas in 2022, he caught 100 passes for 1,516 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns in 17 starts. Even with some fantasy managers skeptical because Jimmy Garoppolo is now his quarterback, Adams should be treated as a top-10 fantasy pass-catcher in fantasy drafts this fall.

Davante Adams' Injury Believed To Be Minor

Updating a previous report, the injury that Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (shin) suffered in joint training camp practice with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday is minor, according to a source. Adams walked gingerly off the field after trainers put a sleeve on his right-shin area. Head coach Josh McDaniels also said he doesn't think Adams suffered anything "cray serious." It's great news for the star receiver, but don't expect him to play in the team's preseason opener this Sunday against the Niners. The 30-year-old has made the Pro Bowl each of the last six seasons, and he had 100 catches for 1,516 yards and a league-leading 14 TDs in 17 starts in his first year in Vegas in 2022. Many fantasy managers might be a bit skeptical with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo now throwing him passes, but Adams should still be considered a top-10 fantasy receiver.

Davante Adams Injured Friday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (leg) walked slowly toward the locker room at training camp on Friday and was favoring his right leg after he was checked out by the team's medical staff. Adams appeared to sustain a lower-leg injury on the first play of team drills during joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers after a collision with Oren Burks. Until we know more on Adams' leg injury, consider him day-to-day. The 30-year-old Pro Bowl receiver is highly unlikely to play in the preseason opener this Sunday against the Niners. Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdowns in 2022 and should still see plenty of targets from new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in 2023, making him a lock as a top-10 fantasy wideout.
