What the Experts Are Saying

Since joining the Jets, Adams has been the WR33 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 26.9% target share and 33% first-read share while producing 1.62 YPRR and 51.5 receiving yards per game. The age cliff arrives swiftly for veteran wide receivers, and it seems like this is what we’re seeing with Adams. Since Week 7, among 82 qualifying wide receivers, Adams ranks 43rd in separation and 52nd in route win rate. These should be eye-opening numbers, especially as we project Adams for the rest of the season. Since Week 7, the Colts have changed up their coverage structure with the eighth-highest rate of two high (52%). After the cold water I just tossed on Adams’ rest-of-season outlook, I’ll also say that he could have a mini-revival this week with a plus matchup secondary and coverage shell matchup. Since Week 7, Adams has led the way against two-high with a 27.1% target share, 2.20 YPRR, and a 34.2% air-yard share. Indy has allowed the third-most receiving yards and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
