Jamal Adams Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks safeties Jamal Adams (shoulder, fingers) and Quandre Diggs (ankle, leg) took part in the team's mandatory minicamp this week and are both expected to be ready when training camp begins in late July. Both Adams and Diggs had surgery for their injuries last year, while Adams also said he had surgery to fuse the two middle fingers on his left hand. Adams is hoping the surgeries will solve chronic injuries he's had in his two seasons with the Seahawks. Adams and Diggs are "feeling good" now, and Adams said he has no limitations now. Adams went without a sack last year a year after setting an NFL record for defensive backs by recording 9.5 sacks in just 12 games in 2020. When healthy, Adams is the best fantasy defensive back in IDP settings, while Diggs is also plenty valuable.

Seattle Seahawks safeties Jamal Adams (shoulder) and Quandre Diggs (ankle, leg) are "doing great" in their recoveries from injuries suffered last season, and both players are taking part in the offseason program by attending meetings virtually. Adams underwent shoulder surgery last year, while Diggs had surgery in January to fix a broken fibula and dislocated ankle suffered in the regular season finale. "Those guys are doing great," head coach Pete Carroll said. "They're really excited, enthused with what's happening, really positive." Adams, who suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder in Week 13, has a chance to be ready for training camp after having surgery in December. When healthy, the 26-year-old All-Pro is one of the best IDP defensive backs in fantasy.

Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt still views All-Pro safety Jamal Adams as a difference-maker in this defense. "How we use him, that's going to be on me. It's our responsibility, my responsibility to make sure we put him in positions so he can be at his very best, and we know how great he is at doing that," Hurtt said. Adams played in just 12 games in 2021 due to a shoulder injury after signing a four-year extension worth $70 million last offseason. He didn't record a sack for the first time in his career while producing 87 tackles, five passes defensed and two interceptions. Hurtt wants Seattle's defense to be more aggressive, which should include more blitzing. Expect the Seahawks to utilize Adams more as a downhill player, which has been his specialty.
