Davante Adams Week 1 Outlook - Raiders at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 4th 2024, 8:38pm EDT

Adams remains one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but pitiful quarterback play hurt him last year, and it's not looking any prettier for 2024. Last year was the first season since 2015 that Davante Adams didn't finish as a WR1 in fantasy. Adams checked in as the WR15 in fantasy. Adams had no issue soaking up elite-level volume, ranking second in raw target volume (175) and target share (33.1%). He did the best he could, considering the situation surrounding him, ranking 26th in yards per route run and 17th in first downs per route run. Adams will run most of his routes against Asante Samuel Jr. (64.7% catch rate and 98.0 passer rating) and Kristian Fulton (72.5% catch rate and 129.3 passer rating).
