Draft note
by John Paulsen
Adams is going off the board as the WR10, which is the latest that he’s been drafted since the 2017 season, when he was coming off of a 75-997-12 campaign in his third season. Of course, this has nothing to do with his ability to get open or catch the ball. He caught 100+ passes and racked up 1374+ yards for the third-straight season. He posted the sixth-highest yards per route run in 2022 after finishing third and first in the two previous seasons. The reason Adams is the 10th receiver off the board is the uncertainty at quarterback. Derek Carr has moved on, so Adams has to get in sync with Jimmy Garoppolo, who was recently cleared for training camp. Garoppolo may turn out to be better than Carr, but anytime there’s a (possibly negative) quarterback change, drafters rightfully get a little skittish. Still, Adams is immensely talented and Garoppolo has racked up some very efficient numbers in the last few seasons in San Francisco. Adams should provide a solid return as a second-round pick.

LV WR Davante Adams - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Davante Adams left last week’s game with a head injury, but early signs are that he’ll be good to go for Week 3. Last week, he had six catches for 84 yards and the Raiders’ lone touchdown in a lopsided loss to the Bills. Adams now has 17 targets and 12 receptions through two games, so his usage looks like it hasn’t gone anywhere after getting 180 targets last season.

This week, Adams faces a tough Pittsburgh defense that wrecked havoc on the Browns’ passing game on Monday night. However, Adams is so good and he gets so many targets, he remains a must-start in every league, regardless of matchup. Check the status on his head injury, but if he starts, keep him active as an elite fantasy option.
