Davante Adams

Davante Adams failed to record a catch on his lone target in the Packers' preseason loss to the Ravens on Thursday.

Adams failed to record a catch in the Packers’ second preseason game, getting in very limited action against Baltimore. The star wideout has been a TD machine over the last two seasons and remains a top-3 fantasy WR.

Aaron Rodgers has told reporters that he wants to continue to find ways to get Davante Adams the ball more. “He’s that open. We’ve got to keep finding ways to get him the ball.”

Rodgers added flat out that he'd like to throw to Adams more. This is coming off a season where Adams saw 169 targets for 111 catches for 1,386 yards, and 13 touchdowns. Beyond Rodgers' comments, there's reason to believe this can be repeated or even improved upon given the lower-than-normal TD rate Rodgers produced in 2018. All of this has led to many of our experts slotting Adams as their WR1 entering the new year, and a universal first-round pick.

The Packers are planning to use Davante Adams more in the slot this season.

Randall Cobb is with the Cowboys now, so Adams figures to be the biggest beneficiary of increased slot reps. The 26-year-old ran about 20% of his routes from the slot last season, and should only be more efficient in 2019 with the added opportunities. Adams is an easy, early-second round pick in fantasy draft right now.

Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is inactive for the team's Week 17 matchup with the Detroit Lions due to a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Adams did not practice all week but was still hopeful to play in what is a meaningless Week 17 game. With fellow wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown also out this week, the Packers will have to rely on Randall Cobb, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Jake Kumerow in the passing game.

Davante Adams wasn't able to practice this week, but he's still hopeful to play Week 17. His status is likely to be determined on Saturday during the team's walkthrough. He's dealing with a knee injury that has him questionable.

Fantasy Impact

Adams is on track to break a few team receiving records, and he anticipates playing in the finale to cap off what's been an incredible season for the WR. Still, he's hard to trust for DFS purposes as he could be limited by the knee injury. Randall Cobb will likely be back, and the team should also likely be rolling with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jake Kumerow as needed.
