Draft Note by Richard Mejia
Week 8 vs Minnesota
What is there to say about Davante Adams? Nothing really, except that he might just be the best WR in the NFL and he continued to prove his cases this past week against Houston as he turned his 16 targets into 13 receptions for 196 yards and two touchdowns. An already abysmal Houston secondary was taken for a ride trying to cover Adams as he was getting open at will, beating everything from double- and bracket coverage. In the three games Adams has been healthy, he has seen double-digit targets and is seeing a ridiculous 21.2% target rate.
Adams will once again square off against the Minnesota Vikings, the divisional rival he torched in Week 1 to the tune of 14-456-2 on a season-high 17 targets. With Aaron Jones expected to miss the game, Adams should once see comparable production. Yes, as crazy as it sounds, Adams can once again for a stat line of 10-150-2. With the combination of talent, elite QB play and incredible target volume, Adams is our slam dunk WR1 entering Week 8.

Draft note
Adams has proven that he’s one of the best receivers in the league and is worthy of a first round pick in fantasy drafts. Adams only played 12 games in 2019 but still finished as the No. 24 receiver, boasting the fifth-highest per game average behind only Michael Thomas, Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Julio Jones. In 2018 he finished No. 3 and in 2017 he had the No. 6 per game average, appearing in 14 games. He saw double-digit targets in eight of his last nine games and the Packers (famously) did next to nothing to shore up the receiver position heading into the 2020 season. Adams is a real threat to lead the lead in targets if he’s able to play a full season.
