Davante Adams Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams has looked smooth during the team's offseason program and has almost exclusively lined up outside and has worked from the left and right sides of the field. Adams played with quarterback Derek Carr at Fresno State and they also worked out together during several offseasons, so it hasn't taken them long to get used to each other again. Adams drew most of his targets from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the slot last year with the Packers, but he should spend the vast majority of his time out wide with his new team with Hunter Renfrow manning the slot. The 29-year-old five-time Pro Bowler has great chemistry with Carr, though, and he should remain a strong WR1 target for fantasy managers in 2022.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams compared quarterback Derek Carr to his former signal-caller in Green Bay in Aaron Rodgers. "As far as talent and ability, it's really similar, if I'm keeping it real," Adams said. "They throw the ball a lot different. Derek's gonna fire it in there, and you gonna know that thing's coming quick. Aaron's got the ability to tighten that core up and flick that ball to you." Carr is coming off a career-high 4,804 passing yards on 428 completions in 2021 while leading the team to their first playoff berth in five years. The 31-year-old could be even better this year with Adams in town, potentially making him a solid low-end QB1 in fantasy.

The Green Bay Packers have traded wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams recently mentioned that he wouldn't play under the franchise tag in Green Bay. The Packers have decided to move on from the Pro Bowl receiver rather than offer him an extension. The return for the Packers is reportedly a first-round pick, possibly more picks and a player. Adams will be welcomed in Las Vegas with a five-year, $141.2 million extension. He will make an average of $28.2 million per year, which makes him the highest-paid receiver in the league. The move from Green Bay to Las Vegas shouldn't damage the fantasy value of Adams. He's a superstar and will continue to play that way with Derek Carr under center.
