Is Davante Adams Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update of the Las Vegas Raiders wide reciever. Read the latest Week 2 fantasy football injury updates.
The Las Vegas Raiders traded for Davante Adams last year, and since then, he has become a huge part of their offense. After things didn't work out with Derek Carr, the Raiders brought in Jimmy Garoppolo, and so far Adams has played well with his new quarterback.
The Raiders won in Week 1 but lost 38-10 to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. During that game, in the fourth quarter, Adams was hit, and the star wide receiver suffered a concussion.
Is he now healthy, or will he be put in the concussion protocol ahead of Week 3? Let's take a look.

Will Davante Adams Play In Week 3?
As per Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels, Davante Adams is 'good' following the hit that he suffered against the Bills. Due to this, the 30-year-old wideout should be able to play in Week 3.
The Raiders wouldn't want to lose two straight games, and having Adams on the field certainly boosts their chances of winning. Against the Bills, Adams finished with six receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The absence of Jakobi Meyers resulted in more reliance on the veteran receiver, and he had a productive game.
Since quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had a shaky game against the Bills, he is likely to rely on his star receiver going forward for better results.
Davante Adams Fantasy Outlook
In two games so far this season, Davante Adams has been targeted 17 times and has recorded 12 receptions for 150 yards while scoring one touchdown. In total through two weeks, he has recorded 21 points in PPR leagues.
Jakobi Meyers could be back for the Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that would decrease the defense's attention on Adams. As a result, the former Green Bay Packers star could have another big game.
Adams recorded 14.4 points in PPR leagues in Week 2, and he has the potential to increase that total in Week 3 despite going against a tough Steelers defense.
