• Raiders' Davante Adams: Scores key TD on busy afternoon

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Adams brought in nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 26-23 win over the Ravens on Sunday. Adams co-led the Raiders in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets in a game with volume reminiscent of his glory days with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. Adams' touchdown, a one-yard grab with 3:54 remaining in the fourth quarter, was also critical, as it erased a 23-16 deficit at the time and set the stage for Daniel Carlson's eventual game-winning field goal. Adams now has 18 targets through two games, an encouraging development for his chemistry with Gardner Minshew heading into a favorable Week 3 home matchup against the Panthers.

• Raiders' Davante Adams: Modest Week 1 showing

  Adams recorded five receptions on six targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers. Adams is likely to struggle to maintain elite efficiency this season given the quarterback situation in Las Vegas, though his target location and volume were both notable in Sunday's loss. Brock Bowers led the Raiders in targets in his first pro game with eight, and Gardner Minshew appeared unwilling to push the ball downfield when targeting Adams as the star wideout was forced to do the majority of his damage after the catch. If these trends persist, Adams will still be a useful fantasy option, though his opportunity for big performances may be limited.

• Raiders' Davante Adams: Good to go

  Adams (undisclosed) didn't appear on Wednesday's injury report. Adams dealt with a minor unspecified issue last month, but Wednesday's injury report confirms that the wideout is healthy ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Chargers. The 31-year-old remains entrenched as the Raiders' top wideout, a role that enabled Adams to amass a 103-1,144-8 receiving line in 17 contests in 2023. Looking ahead, another high-volume campaign should be in store for Adams, who will be catching passes from a new starting quarterback in Gardner Minshew.

• Raiders' Davante Adams: Dealing with minor injury

  Adams didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas after he "tweaked something" at practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Despite not suiting up for Las Vegas' second exhibition game, Adams is expected to practice Tuesday, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. It seems unlikely that the star wideout will see any action in the Raiders' final game of the preseason against San Francisco on Friday, as head coach Antonio Pierce stated Saturday that the team's starters won't take part in that contest, according to Reed. If Adams doesn't participate in that contest, he'll go into the regular season without seeing any snaps during the exhibition slate.

• Raiders' Davante Adams: Not suiting up Saturday

  Adams isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. Adams missed the Raiders' first exhibition at Minnesota due to the birth of his son, and he now will remain on the sideline for the second iteration. While he has 11 games of experience working with one of the players (Aidan O'Connell) currently vying to be the Week 1 starting QB for Las Vegas, Adams has yet to get any in-game reps with offseason signing Gardner Minshew. No matter who is under center for the team in the regular season, Adams remains productive on a per-game basis, having averaged 78.2 receiving yards and scoring 22 touchdowns in 34 regular-season games as a Raider.
