Team news: Las Vegas Raiders | Page 13

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

The Raiders' preference as an organization is to get a Davante Adams trade done “sooner rather than later,” per multiple sources.

The Adams distraction is the last thing the team needs now as it continues to struggle. But, the post went on to say the Raiders aren’t going to do just any deal, and their preference has been not to take on any of the money remaining on Adams’ contract, according to Shultz's post. The post did say expect things to ramp up this week. The Raiders switched from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell against the Broncos, but it didn't lead to a spark on offense. Bowers may benefit the most with Adams no longer in the lineup and he posted an 8-97-1 line, followed by Meyers' 6-72-0 line. Tucker didn't have a great day, despite being a popular name on the waiver wire.

There's a very real chance we've seen Adams play his last snap as a Las Vegas Raider, which leaves their receiver corps as one of the worst in the league if they don't get anyone back in a potential trade.

Yes, Davante Adams likely has played his last game as a Raider.

Via NFL Media, Adams has informed the Raiders that he would like to be traded.

Adams missed Week 5 after injuring his hamstring in practice last week. Reports began to circulate the Raiders have reached out to teams who may be interested in trading for Adams. The story said since they’d likely cut him after the season, before his $35.64 million salary hits the books, they wouldn’t get a compensatory draft pick when he signs elsewhere. The only way to get compensation is to trade him before the deadline, which arrives in five weeks, the story said.

Terrible news for the Raiders offense and their chances of beating the Browns in general. Meyers can be considered a fringe WR2/3 in Week 4, while Bowers might hit double-digit targets for the first time in his young career.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday at Green Bay.

QB Sam Darnold (knee), edge Dallas Turner (knee) and LT Christian Darrisaw (illness) also off the final injury report.

This all but eradicates Nailor's fantasy value, but he is likely to still be in the mix, which puts a cap on Addison in his first week back since the second half of Week 1. Both of them are nothing more than desperation Flex options in Week 4.

Pierce wanted to see if Aidan O'Connell gave the offense "a spark" and wouldn't rule out a QB change this week.

Minshew threw for 214 yards with a TD and INT. O'Connell came in and went 9-for-12 for 82 yards and a TD. The Raiders were stunned by Andy Dalton and the Panthers and couldn't overcome a 27-7 deficit heading into the fourth quarter. The Raiders will likely make a decision later this week about their Week 4 QB. The Raiders host the Brown in a later afternoon game.

Kevin O'Connell said they're "optimistic" about Jordan Addison this week.

Addison hasn't played since third quarter of the team's Sept. 8 win at the Giants when he injured his ankle. He would be a welcome addition to the Vikings passing attack and an offense that's already clicking. He'll likely slide back in as the team's WR2. The return of Addison puts a dent into Nailor's fantasy value, even after a 3-31-1 effort in Week 3.

Vikings are not listing Justin Jefferson on this week’s injury report for Sundays game vs. the Texans, but Minnesota has ruled out WR Jordan Addison.

Addison's season has gone from bad to worse, with off-the-field issues still sitting in the background. Nailor makes for an interesting desperation Flex play against Houston this week, while Jefferson needs to be started everywhere.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson participated in today’s walk through, despite his quad injury. It looks as if he is on track to play Sunday vs. the Texans.
