Jets' Davante Adams: Catches 100th TD in 198-yard game
Rotowire
Adams caught nine of 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Adams was blanked on two first-half targets as Aaron Rodgers completed only three passes before halftime, but the veteran wideout secured a 12-yard reception on the first play of the second half and took over from there. Adams made a 43-yard catch on New York's second possession of the third quarter and added a one-yard touchdown catch three plays later after having a touchdown ruling reversed on a red-zone reception in between. That touchdown reception was the 100th of Adams' career and gave the Jets a 17-16 lead. Adams celebrated the occasion by adding an octopus in the fourth quarter, putting the Jets up 23-22 with a career-long 71-yard touchdown catch before extending the advantage to three points by catching the ensuing two-point conversion. To round out this memorable performance, Adams made a sensational 23-yard catch along the sideline followed by a 41-yard reception to set up Breece Hall's game-winning one-yard rushing touchdown with 1:05 remaining. After the best half of Adams' illustrious career, he'll look to put on an encore against the Rams in Week 16.

Jets' Davante Adams: Piles up 109 yards, TD in Week 14
Rotowire
Adams caught nine of 11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.
After a quiet start, Adams came alive with four catches for 54 yards -- including a 34-yard reception -- on the Jets' final drive of the first half, which resulted in a go-ahead field goal. Adams kept rolling to begin the second half, catching a three-yard touchdown pass to restore the lead. Miami ultimately came back to tie the game in the final seconds of regulation and won it in overtime without giving the Jets a chance to possess the ball, but Adams still managed to post his highest yardage total as a member of the Jets. Adams has notched at least 11 targets in four of his past five games, so he's likely to play a significant role once again in Week 15 against a weak Jacksonville pass defense.

Jets' Davante Adams: Leading receiver in latest loss
Rotowire
Adams caught five of 11 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Adams opened the scoring with his second touchdown in six games with the Jets, finding the end zone from eight yards out. He just missed adding a chunk gain on a diving fourth-down effort in the second quarter, but Adams still finished the first half with game-high totals of 61 receiving yards and eight targets. Adams made no mistake on fourth down in the fourth quarter, gaining five yards on his only catch of the second half to pick up fourth-and-2 on the Jets' final possession, but that drive ultimately stalled as the Jets fell to 3-9. Aaron Rodgers threw for only 185 yards in this latest loss, and the Jets' offensive struggles as a team have lowered Adams' ceiling substantially heading into a Week 14 road game against the Dolphins.

Jets' Davante Adams: Six catches in Week 11 loss
Rotowire
Adams (illness/wrist) caught six of seven targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
Adams bounced back to lead the Jets in receiving yards after averaging an awful 2.4 yards per target in the previous game, but this still wasn't all that strong of a performance by the star wide receiver's lofty standards. Breece Hall scored two total touchdowns in the loss, while Garrett Wilson was limited to 18 receiving yards on eight targets. The Jets have been unable to get all three of those prominent playmakers going simultaneously, which has contributed to the team's dreadful 3-8 start heading into the Week 12 bye.

Jets' Davante Adams: Active versus Colts
Rotowire
Adams (illness/wrist) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Adams -- who had been listed as questionable for the contest -- missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday but logged a full session to close the week, with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noting Friday he expected the wideout to play Sunday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN. With his Week 11 availability confirmed, Adams is in line to continue to function as a key pass catcher for QB Aaron Rodgers opposite Garrett Wilson (who is averaging 10 targets a game), an arrangement that so far has resulted in Adams recording a 20/206/1 receiving line on 39 targets in four contests since arriving in a trade with the Raiders.

Jets' Davante Adams: Remains on track to play
Rotowire
Adams (illness/wrist), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, remains in line to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich previously relayed after Friday's practice that Adams was expected to play Sunday, so Rapoport's report adds to wideout's positive outlook. However, fantasy managers planning on deploying Adams in Week 11 lineups will still want to confirm approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff that the star receiver is in fact active for the contest.

Jets' Davante Adams: Questionable but expected to play
Rotowire
Adams (illness/wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging a full practice Friday.
Coach Jeff Ulbrich relayed earlier Friday that Adams is expected to play Sunday, and Adams' ensuing participation in practice is another positive indicator. Nonetheless, Adams' fantasy managers should check in approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff for confirmation on the star wide receiver's status.

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich relayed Friday that Adams (illness/wrist) is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams returned to practice Friday after having missed back-to-back sessions, and per Ulbrich the wideout appears to be on track to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest. The Jets' upcoming injury report is slated clarify whether or not Adams carries a Week 11 injury designation, however.

Adams (illness/wrist) was present for practice Friday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to Friday's session bodes well for his availability for Sunday's contest against the Colts. The Jets' upcoming injury report will relay whether the wideout carries a Week 11 injury designation or is fully cleared to face Indianapolis this weekend.

Jets' Davante Adams: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Adams (illness/wrist) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Adams has now missed two straight practices with an illness and sore wrist, so what the wideout is able to do at Friday's session will likely be the determining factor in whether he carries a designation into Sunday's game against the Colts. Through his first four games with the Jets since being acquired by the Raiders, Adams is averaging five catches and 51.5 receiving yards per contest.

Jets' Davante Adams: Little production off 13 targets
Rotowire
Adams finished with six receptions (13 targets) for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cardinals.
Arizona was dead set on stopping the Aaron Rodgers to Adams connection Sunday, and the longtime star duo did not have an answer. The 31-year-old Adams has turned in three duds and one diamond over four games since being traded to the Jets. That said, it would be hard to bench a player of Adams' caliber against the Colts next Sunday before the team goes on its bye in Week 12.

Adams exited Thursday's game against the Texans to be evaluated for a concussion, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams hauled in a 17-yard pass to convert on a fourth-down attempt late in the third quarter, though he was hit low and landed hard on the turf. He left the contest and was briefly evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. The Jets confirmed that he is undergoing an evaluation for a concussion, though he does not have an official injury designation.

Jets' Davante Adams: Slow start to Jets tenure
Rotowire
Adams caught four of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Adams' modest showing included 16 meaningless yards on the game's final play, which ran out the clock before the Jets could get to the line for a spike. He finished second to Garrett Wilson (five catches on eight targets for 113 yards) in catches, targets and receiving yards. Adams has just 84 receiving yards through two games with the Jets, and he won't have much additional time to familiarize himself with his new surroundings before the trade acquisition's MetLife Stadium home debut Thursday against the Texans.

Jets' Davante Adams: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
I am hopeful that Adams' Week 7 dud is enough to suppress his roster rate. The nine targets he saw were very encouraging, and now he'll have a full week of practice with the team and a much easier matchup against the New England Patriots. He projects as a top 10 wide receiver for me once again.

Jets' Davante Adams: Set for full workload in debut
Rotowire
Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that he expects Adams (hamstring) to have a full workload Sunday against the Steelers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Adams practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday after being acquired via trade from the Raiders on Tuesday. The star receiver isn't expected to have any limitations in his Jets debut, which will mark his first action since Week 3. Adams' lack of injury designation is a relief for his fantasy managers, who otherwise would have had a tricky decision on their hands because the Jets play in the third-to-last game of Week 7 on Sunday night.

Jets' Davante Adams: Fully participating in walk-through
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Adams last played Week 3 before the Raiders traded him to the Jets on Tuesday. He was able to pass a physical Tuesday before the trade became official, and his participation in Wednesday's session -- albeit a walk-through -- has the wideout trending toward playing Sunday against the Steelers, which interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich all but confirmed earlier Wednesday. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his hamstring as the week progresses, Adams should head into the weekend without an injury designation. Though the Jets acquired Adams with the expectation that he'll combine with Garrett Wilson to form one of the top wideout duos in the NFL, it's unclear how much playing time or involvement in the game plan that Adams will get in his New York debut.

Jets' Davante Adams: Planning to make team debut Sunday
Rotowire
Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After he passed a physical Tuesday, Adams officially joined the Jets, who acquired the six-time Pro Bowl wideout from the Raiders in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick. He had missed the Raiders' last three games with a hamstring injury, but if he's able to resume practicing the Jets likely won't hesitate to include him in the game plan for Sunday. The addition of Adams provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a familiar option in the passing game -- the two spent eight seasons together in Green Bay -- and should also help lessen the burden on Garrett Wilson, who had been targeted on 37 percent of Rodgers' pass attempts over the past two weeks. Shortly after the trade was finalized, Schefter relayed that Adams reworked his contract to lower his salary number to $3.21 million for 2024, and his deal now includes voidable years in 2025 and 2026. Adams and the Jets will wait and see how the remainder of the season plays out before discussing his future in New York.

Raiders' Davante Adams: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
I'm definitely buying into the narrative that Aaron Rodgers is going to force-feed his friend in their reunion. Adams projects. as a top-10 wide receiver for me, and I wouldn't be surprised if he sees double-digit targets and scores multiple touchdowns. Hopefully, the difficult matchup means he won't be as chalky as I fear.

Jets' Davante Adams: Trade to New York official
Rotowire
The Jets acquired Adams (hamstring) from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick.
The two teams came to terms on the trade earlier Tuesday, but the deal wasn't officially announced until the star wideout arrived in New York and passed a physical. The Jets evidently aren't too concerned about the hamstring injury that kept Adams sidelined for the Raiders' last three games, and the team believes he will be ready to make his debut this Sunday in Pittsburgh, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv. Adams will benefit from an upgrade in quarterback play, going from Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell in Las Vegas to Aaron Rodgers in New York, but he'll face stiffer competition for targets as he joins Garrett Wilson and former Packers teammate Allen Lazard in the Jets receiver room. Adams' prior experience working with Rodgers in their eight seasons together in Green Bay could give him the inside track to emerge as the 1A option between he and Wilson, however, with Lazard bumped down to the No. 3 role. Adams has approximately $11.6 million remaining on his contract for 2024 and is due $36.25 million over the next two years, but that latter amount is non-guaranteed and could be re-worked if the Jets want to keep him in the fold beyond this season.
