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.

Raiders WR Davante Adams is not expected to play Sunday vs. the Broncos due to his hamstring injury, per league sources.

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.

Where there’s smoke, there may be fire when it comes to Davante Adams trade rumors.

According to Vinny Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Raiders have begun reaching out to other teams to gauge their interest in trading for Davante Adams, showing that Las Vegas is growing open to the idea of moving the veteran wideout.

Adams, 31, has been with the Raiders since he was traded to the club during the 2022 offseason. He led the league with 14 touchdowns for the club in 2022 before catching 103 passes for 1,144 yards with eight touchdowns in 2023.

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.

There won’t be any suspense about wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s status this week.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday that Kupp has been ruled out for the team’s Week 4 game against the Bears.

Kupp injured his ankle in Week 2. The story said the early decision to rule him out suggests he’ll be off the practice field again this week, but the team did not put Kupp on injured reserve so it would seem they expect him to play by Week 7 — they have a bye in Week Six — at the latest. Atwell led the way with a 4-93-0 line with Robinson going for 1-32-0. Whittington added a line of 3-28-0 and Johnson had 3-20-0. With Puka Nacua also out for at least two more weeks, the Rams WR situation seems a bit tricky for fantasy owners.

Rams star WR Cooper Kupp suffered a high-ankle sprain in LA’s loss on Sunday, and he’ll spend the next week or so in a cast helping the swelling calm down, sources said.

The team did not place him on Injured Reserve, as there is still a chance he’s ready within four weeks.

A little bit of good news bad news here, as Kupp may not miss more than four games, but it still seems like it will be significant time. As it stands, Robinson is the most experienced option and will be the most likely option to lead the team in routes, with Johnson closely behind.

If you missed out on them through waiver runs and still want a piece of this offense, Whittington is the wild card, and should be targeted in deeper leagues.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp and left guard Jonah Jackson are both set to miss extended time after suffering injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Kupp hurt his ankle and Jackson aggravated a shoulder injury.

McVay also confirmed that safety John Johnson will miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury. He called all three players candidates for injured reserve.

With Nacua already on IR, the Rams offense is taking another hit with the loss of Kupp. Robinson and Johnson could take over as the team's top two, but those of you in the dynasty community may be high on Whittington, who has drawn comparisons to Nacua. Any of the three are worth picking up, and could get significant time over the next month at least.

#Bears WRs Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze are questionable for the #Texans game.

Allen hasn't practiced all week. Odunze was limited today.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Tyler Scott, DeAndre Carter, Velus Jones

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. D.J. Moore is a must-start, even with Caleb Williams' poor Week 1 performance.

For the second straight day, Bears WRs Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) did not practice.

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. We'll keep an eye on this tomorrow for updates leading to Sunday.
