Raiders' Davante Adams: Scores key TD on busy afternoon
Davante Adams brought in nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Las Vegas 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
Davante 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 Las Vegas 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
Davante 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 Las Vegas 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
Davante 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 Las Vegas 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
Davante Adams isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.Adams missed the Las Vegas 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.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Back with teammates
Davante Adams rejoined his teammates Sunday after the recent birth of his son, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.Adams missed the last five practices before he was absent from Saturday's preseason loss at Minnesota, according to coach Antonio Pierce. It's unclear if Adams will make an appearance during one of the Las Vegas Raiders' last two exhibitions, but the quarterback throwing him passes Week 1 and beyond seemingly will be known after Saturday's contest against the Cowboys. Pierce is expected to make a call between veteran Gardner Minshew and second-year pro Aidan O'Connell this weekend, but even with five different QBs targeting Adams in two campaigns in Las Vegas, he surpassed 1,100 yards on both occasions while recording 22 touchdowns in 34 regular-season games.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Intends to remain with Las Vegas
Davante Adams said Sunday at his annual youth football camp that he intends to play for the Las Vegas Raiders next season, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.There was some speculation early in the offseason that the Raiders could pursue trading their star wideout, but GM Tom Telesco shot that idea down in late February. Adams' comments Sunday seem to solidify the expectation that he'll remain with Las Vegas for a third campaign in 2024. Adams reached the 100-reception mark for the fourth straight season in 2023, but his 1,144 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns were his lowest totals since 2019, when he played in only 12 games due to a toe injury.

Raiders' Davante Adams: No trade planned
Las Vegas Raiders GM Tom Telesco said Tuesday that Davante Adams won't be traded this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Adams has three seasons remaining on his contract, including a full guarantee on his $16.89 million base salary for 2024. The number is reasonable enough that he'd have considerable trade value, but it sounds like the Raiders are more inclined to keep him around, figuring the 31-year-old wideout can not only help them win games but also help ease the transition for whoever ends up playing quarterback. That said, Telesco might change his mind if another team makes a strong offer.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Won't be disciplined by league
The NFL will not discipline Davante Adams for the 2022 incident in which he shoved a photographer following a loss to Kansas City, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Adams pushed a photographer as he was leaving the field following the 2022 defeat, and the star wideout was originally charged with misdemeanor assault. That charge was later dismissed, but the NFL's investigation into the incident remained open. It now appears that the league's probe has been closed, with a decision to not dole out any discipline to Adams. From a fantasy perspective, that means managers won't have to ponder whether Adams will need to miss any games as a result of the incident, though his 2024 ADP may be due for a drop after he posted his lowest receiving yardage and touchdown totals in four years this season.

Even with inconsistent quarterback play, Adams remains one of the league's most impactful wideouts, making him a reliable commodity heading into the offseason.
