Davante Adams

Fantasy Upside

Despite missing five games due to lower body injures in 2019, Davante Adams still managed to finish as the WR26 in fantasy, and was widely one of the most productive WRs in the league when he was active. Regarded as arguably the best WR in the NFL, Adams has averaged 133.5 targets each of the past four seasons and without any receivers of consequence behind him, he’s a near-lock to finish the season with a career-high in targets. One of Adams’ biggest takeaways from last season was his disappointing five receiving touchdowns, a far cry from his double-digit average from the prior three seasons—so an expected positive regression is very much in play.

Fantasy Downside

The lack of touchdowns last season is a bit of a concern for Adams, especially considering Green Bay not only has the league leader in rushing touchdowns in Aaron Jones, but the team also spent a second-round pick in the 2020 draft in bruising RB A.J. Dillon. Ultimately, Adams' production will once again be tied to healthy and passing attempts of Aaron Rodgers. If Rodgers can remain healthy with a positive game script, Adams should continue to see a heavy dose of targets.

2020 Bottom Line

Adams should continue his elite-level production in 2020 and quite possibly set career highs in targets and receptions with such little competition for receptions in Green Bay. We currently have Adams ranked second amongst WRs and his current ADP in 12-team leagues has him going in the middle of the first round. Along with fellow elite WR Michael Thomas, Adams is the only draftable receiver in the first round, however the biggest difference between the two this season will be Adams’ higher target rate.
