Adams was a top-10 fantasy receiver once again, finishing 10th in scoring despite dealing with erratic quarterback play most of the season. Adams was 10th overall in receptions and 15th in receiving yards. He had seven games with double-digit targets. He had five games with 20-plus fantasy points. Adams has shown few signs of slowing down at this stage of his career. He has four straight season with 100-plus receptions. It should be more of the same for him this year as the top receiver in the Raiders offense. Adams is a big, athletic target that does a good job of making the tough catch. He also has good hands, getting over some drop issues from earlier in his career. Adams has good speed and runs top routes. He is the complete package at receiver. Fantasy Outlook: Adams isn't as exciting as some of the young, talented fantasy receivers these days but remains a pretty surefire No. 1. He just keeps getting it done and posting consistent numbers. If the Raiders get better quarterback play, his numbers could rise even more. Adams should be one of the first 10 receivers off the board come draft day. He should get around 100 receptions, 1,300 yards and 10 or so scores.
Davante Adams leads all wide receivers in targets (355/10.4 per game) since becoming a Raider in 2022. That includes his numbers during 2023 when Adams captured a league-high 33% target share, was second in targets per route run (31.5%), and red zone targets (30), and rose to third in air yards share (44.4%).Adams' ability to capitalize on his extensive targeting was impacted by substandard play from Las Vegas quarterbacks. Adams was 14th in points per game (15.6), the first time that he has finished outside the top six since 2017. His 6.5 yards per target and 11.1 yards per reception were both his lowest since 2015, while his averages in yards per route run (2.06), and yards per game (67.3), failed to match his averages during 2022 (2.74/89.2),It is unclear whether Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell will emerge under center in Week 1. However, Adams will sustain his role as the Raiders' primary receiving weapon in an offense that has been restructured under offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. That should propel Adams to a percentage of first read and designated targets that approaches the league-high 40.6% that he attained during 2023 according to Fantasy Points Data. The combination of frequent targeting and Adams' continued ability to secure separation should propel him to WR2 production. That provides your incentive for targeting the six-time Pro Bowler in Round 2 of best-ball drafts. The 31-year-old Adams can also be selected in Round 4 of dynasty startup drafts.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (undisclosed) did not play in the preseason Week 2 game on Saturday, Aug. 17, after tweaking something at practice during the week, head coach Antonio Pierce said. Adams is expected to be at practice this week, though.
From TheHuddle
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that wide receiver Davante Adams (undisclosed) tweaked something in training camp practice on Wednesday, which is why he didn't suit up for the team's preseason game on Saturday versus the Dallas Cowboys. Adams is expected to return to practice on Tuesday, though, so it doesn't appear to be an injury that is serious enough to put his availability for the Week 1 regular-season opener in question. The 31-year-old pass-catcher is unlikely to play in the preseason finale against the San Francisco 49ers next Friday, and the team's starters won't even play in that contest. In his first year without quarterback Derek Carr in 2023, Adams still had over 1,000 receiving yards, but his 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns were both his fewest marks since 2019. He's likely to struggle for big explosive plays down the field again in 2024, making him more of a low-end WR1 than a high-end one.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (unknown) was not at practice on Thursday night and the reason is still unknown. The star wideout rejoined his teammates on Monday after the birth of his son and has practiced as usual since then. His absence is more than likely a short-term deal but it would be worth monitoring as it remains to be seen if he suits up for a preseason game this year. The quarterback battle continues while Adams' fantasy impact weighs heavily on who wins between Gardner Minshew II and Aidan O'Connell.

The Las Vegas Raiders are getting wide receiver Davante Adams (personal) back at training camp this week. The three-time first-team All-Pro left the team in camp in Costa Mesa after six practices this summer -- he missed the final five practices and the preseason opener on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings -- to return to Las Vegas for the birth of his son. "Davante will be here today," head coach Antonio Pierce said on Sunday. "Spoke to him after the game. He's excited. He watched it. He misses his teammates. Glad baby boy is here, healthy." It remains to be seen if the 31-year-old will suit up in the team's second preseason contest this Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. Adams had a fourth straight 1,000-yard season in his second year in Sin City in 2023, but his 1,144 receiving yards and eight TDs were his fewest in those categories since 2019. He's still a WR1 in fantasy, but he's on the low end of that tier with either Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell running the offense.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams did not practice on Friday, Aug. 2, to be with his pregnant wife as the couple prepares for the birth of their child.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams 'is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk - period,' according to his agents on Tuesday, July 16.
Fantasy Spin: Adams' agents called recent trade talk "baseless, unfounded speculation." The 32-year-old's cap number for this season is $25.35 million and increases to $44.1 million over the final two years of the deal, so any interested party will likely need to make a series of moves in order to open up a spot for him. Even in what was a frustrating year for him with poor quarterback play, Adams still managed 103 catches for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns. Although age is becoming a concern, he is still a solid fantasy WR1.
From TheHuddle
Given all the trade talk surrounding Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams this offseason, his agents, Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer released a statement on Tuesday, saying: "This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk - period." Adams reiterated earlier this offseason that he fully plans to play the 2024 campaign with the Raiders, which will be his third with the organization. Despite the Raiders moving on quickly from Jimmy Garoppolo in 2023, the 31-year-old Adams had a fourth straight 100-catch season, in addition to 1,144 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. However, his yardage and TD total were his lowest marks since 2019. The QB situation isn't much better in 2024 with Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew, making Adams more of a low-end WR1 in fantasy than a high-end WR1.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams remains with the organization. However, as has been the norm over the last few seasons, trade rumors are starting to surface. While many teams would love to acquire Adams' talents, it appears the Jets are a team to watch, especially after Aaron Rodgers stated he couldn't wait to play with his longtime wideout "again." Rodgers isn't alone in his desire to see Adams in New York. Speaking at his youth football camp, Garrett Wilson embraced the idea. "I see that. I'm excited. I'm with all of it," said Wilson. "Anyone we can get into the facility to help this team win games, I'm with it, and he's one of those." Adams is adamant he wants to stay in Vegas. But a reunion between Rodgers and Adams could do wonders for their fantasy potential, so managers will continue to monitor the situation closely.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams said Tuesday, July 9, during the 'Up and Adams' show that New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers continues to push for Adams to join his former quarterback in New York. 'He's in the ear, that's for sure, he's in the ear,' he told host Kay Adams. 'But it's not as easy,' Adams added. 'Obviously, we can get together and talk about the old times and the potential of doing this and that, but like I said, I'm a Raider, and he knows that.'
Fantasy Spin: While this tidbit makes for a fun moment of gossip during the doldrums of the NFL offseason, Adams remains a Raider, and there's no reason to believe that will change before Week 1.
From TheHuddle
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is under contract through 2026 and said he plans to remain with the team, but the Raiders are going to have a decision to make next offseason. Adams' 2025 salary cap hit of $44.1 million is untenable and needs to be reworked via a contract restructure or extension to provide the team with cap relief. But if things take a turn for the worst between Adams and the Raiders in 2024, they would be able to free up $28.4 million in cap space by trading him next offseason. The 31-year-old pass-catcher still managed his fourth straight 1,000-yard season in 17 starts in 2023 despite the Raiders dumping both quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and head coach Josh McDaniels. However, last year also marked the first time since 2019 that Adams didn't score double-digit touchdowns. Adams is no longer a staple as a high-end WR1 in fantasy with the Raiders dealing with more question marks at QB between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew.

Dynasty | Las Vegas wide receiver Davante Adams has recently indicated he wants to stay with the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: Adams is coming off a decent 103-1,144-8 season but also one that saw his production come in peaks and valleys. As the article indicates, Adams is basically saying he'd already be gone if he wanted to be. The Jets have reportedly made some overtures but those were quickly extinguished. At this point, it would be a surprise to see Adams anywhere other than Vegas next season. However, finding a decent quarterback to keep his stats where they should be is another challenge altogether. Adams has dropped to our WR26 but is still a solid trade target for a contending team.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, while speaking at his youth football camp, made it known he plans to remain with the team. Things were chaotic for Las Vegas last season, with Adams expressing his unhappiness with his role in the offense. Not only that, the franchise fired head coach Josh McDaniels in October, resulting in Antonio Pierce taking over. But now that Pierce no longer has an interim tag attached to his name; there's optimism things will go much more smoothly this season. The 31-year-old is coming off a rough season, amassing 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns off 103 catches. Yet, it appears Adams is the happiest he's been in a while, meaning he could easily turn things around during the 2024-25 campaign and return to being an elite fantasy wideout, assuming the team gets stable play at the quarterback spot.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams is highly unlikely to be traded this season based on comments from new general manager Tom Telesco on Tuesday, Feb. 27.
Fantasy Spin: Adams is coming off his fourth consecutive 100-catch season despite playing most of his snaps with Jimmy Garoppolo and Aidan O'Connell. There is a distinct possibility Las Vegas will be able to upgrade that position this offseason, which should only lock Adams in as a top-10 fantasy receiver yet again. Assuming Adams gets the quarterback upgrade, he should be able to improve on last year's 103-1,144-8 line.
From TheHuddle
New Las Vegas Raiders general manager Tom Telesco emphasized on Tuesday that wide receiver Davante Adams isn't going anywhere despite trade rumors. "He's a Raider," Telesco said. Adams is guaranteed a full $16.89 million base salary in 2024 and has three years left on his current deal. Adams broke a streak of six straight Pro Bowl appearances in 2023, although he still managed to catch over 100 passes (103) for the fourth straight year while gaining 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games. The 31-year-old could become more inconsistent as the Raiders look for an upgrade at quarterback through the draft, but it's hard to debate his WR1 worth in fantasy after posting four straight 1,000-yard seasons while finding the end zone 51 times since 2020.
