News: 4 days agoAdams brought in nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 26-23 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Considering Adams endured three quarterbacks throwing him the football and a midseason coaching change, his 2023 season was probably better than you remember it being. Adams finished 10th among WRs in fantasy points. He got off to a scorching start, with two 20-point performances in his first three weeks, but suffered an inexplicable, mid-year dip in targets just before Josh McDaniels was dispatched. Under Antonio Pierce, Adams finished strong, posting the league's highest target share (36.4%) and five games of 14-plus fantasy points. It was a reminder that Adams is one of the league's true game-changing receivers, independent of who is throwing him the football. He remains a fantasy WR1 entering his age-31 season.
