Davante Adams Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Raiders WR Davante Adams (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. Reportedly dealing with a bad case of the flu, Adams only got in a limited practice on Friday. He’s expected to play on Sunday, but we’ll continue to keep an eye on his status leading up to the 1 pm ET kickoff.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero hears that a "bad flu" has kept Adams out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday. "There's optimism he’ll be over it and ready to go Sunday vs. the Saints," Pelissero adds. Adams can stay penciled into Week 8 fantasy lineups for now, but we'll keep a close eye on him over the next few days.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (illness) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. Players rarely miss games with illnesses, but check back tomorrow for another update on Adams' status for this weekend's game vs. the Saints.

Raiders WR Davante Adams drew a target on one-third of Las Vegas' pass attempts in Sunday's win over the Texans. He posted an 8-95 receiving line on 9 looks, claiming 38.1% of QB Derek Carr's completions and 39.4% of the receiving yards. WR Hunter Renfrow, TE Foster Moreau and RB Josh Jacobs tied for 2nd on the team with 3 catches apiece. Carr went 21-of-27 passing for 241 yards, 1 TD and no INTs. WR Mack Hollins caught the lone TD, among 2 receptions for 44 yards.

The NFL will wait until Raiders WR Davante Adams' legal proceedings conclude before dishing out any discipline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Adams has been charged with a city ordinance violation of assault for pushing a photographer to the ground after last Monday night's loss to the Chiefs. That means the situation is now part of the league's personal-conduct policy, so the league will wait until the case is resolved. Per Rapoport, Adams could be fined, suspended or both. His court date is scheduled for November 10.

Raiders WR Davante Adams has been charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a cameraman after Monday night's loss to the Chiefs. His court date is scheduled for November 10, which is the Thursday after Week 9. It's unlikely that a suspension comes before then, if Adams is suspended at all. We'll continue to keep you updated on the situation.

Raiders WR Davante Adams caught just 3 of his 7 targets in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, but he turned those into 124 yards and 2 TDs. Adams scored on plays of 58 and 48 yards. One other incompletion came on a late-game pass where a slight bobble kept him from getting 2 feet down in bounds. He also drew a pair of PI calls that consumed another 48 yards. Adams continued to draw attention after the game though, when he shoved a sound guy to the ground on his way to the locker room. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the league is reviewing the situation for disciplinary purposes -- "potentially even a suspension." We'll monitor the developments.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s yet to return to practice, so consider him iffy for Week 5. Vegas will also be without TE Foster Moreau (knee) this weekend, boosting the target projections for WR Davante Adams, TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking like a long shot to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. That's good news for the target outlooks of Davante Adams, Darren Waller and Mack Hollins, who's coming off a big Week 3.

Raiders WR Mack Hollins matched WR Davante Adams for the team target lead (10) in Sunday's loss to the Titans, but he blew away Adams in production. Hollins caught 8 balls for 158 yards and a TD, compared with a pedestrian 5-36-1 line for Adams. Hollins certainly benefited from WR Hunter Renfrow being out but also edged Renfrow in routes in each of the 1st 2 games. We're not betting on more outings like this from Hollins, but he's also not a great bet to disappear from relevance.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. We’ll see if he can get cleared for Week 4. Renfrow’s absence will leave Tyron Johnson and Keelan Cole as Vegas’ #3 and #4 WRs behind Davante Adams and Mack Hollins. Adams and TE Darren Waller should dominate Raiders targets this weekend.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's now looking like a long shot to play vs. the Titans this weekend. We'll see how Vegas replaces Renfrow's slot snaps. WRs Tyron Johnson and Keelan Cole are behind primary outside WRs Davante Adams and Mack Hollins.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow led the team with 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, catching 7 of them for 59 yards. TE Darren Waller tied WR Mack Hollins for 2nd on the team with 8 looks, catching 6 for 50 yards and a TD. Hollins hauled in 5 balls for 66 yards. WR Davante Adams followed with 7 targets but managed just 2 receptions for 12 yards. He did, at least, catch Carr's other TD.

Raiders WR Davante Adams went off against the Chargers to the tune of 10 catches, 141 yards and 1 score. His 17 targets (!) represented a 45.9% share of the team total, and he recorded a massive 3.6 yards per route run. He put on a route-running clinic — as usual — especially on one downfield ball vs. CB Asante Samuel Jr. He scored on a quick out near the goal line. Overall, Adams’ debut with the Raiders couldn’t have gone much better. He gets a dreamy Week 2 matchup with the Cardinals.

Both Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport report that the Packers are trading WR Davante Adams to the Raiders. Rapoport says Vegas is dealing a 1st-round pick "potentially more picks and a player," while Schefter says "two prime 2022 picks" are involved. Both also report that Adams is getting a 5-year contract from his new team that will make him the highest paid WR ever. The move reunites Adams with QB Derek Carr, who he played with at Fresno State. Adams, of course, has spent nearly all of his pro career to date working with QB Aaron Rodgers. The Packers QB, meanwhile, is now left without a lead WR. The trade has reportedly been quietly in the works for days, so we'll assume this news isn't being broken to Rodgers. We'll see how Green Bay addresses its pass-catching corps for 2022 (and beyond) after keeping Rodgers in town this offseason with an extension. Adams loses some draft value, for both the general uncertainty and joining an offense that has treated TE Darren Waller as the clear lead target in recent years. Adams should easily snatch the lead wideout role from 2021 target leader Hunter Renfrow, but we'd bet Adams' target ceiling coming down. Waller loses some target upside as well but should be operating in the best pass offense he's been in to date. We're not moving him significantly in 2022 outlook right now.

NFL Network reports that WR Davante Adams has told the Packers he doesn't plan to play under the franchise tag this season. The veteran is seeking a long-term deal as he heads into his 9th NFL season, which will find him turning 30 in December. Adams won't be required to show up for any team activities until he signs his tender, so there's potential for a training-camp/preseason holdout if the 2 sides can't nail down an agreement. Green Bay has already reportedly offered money that would make Adams the highest-paid WR by annual salary, so we'd guess they get something done. We'll keep watch on the situation, though.

The Packers have applied the franchise tag to WR Davante Adams, keeping him off the free-agent market. The 2 sides will likely try to work out a longer-term deal, especially after Green Bay extended QB Aaron Rodgers. For fantasy football purposes, though, we can comfortably bet on Adams sticking with the Packers for at least 2022 (with his QB). Adams remains 1 of the safest early picks across fantasy formats.
