Davante Adams A Low-End WR1 Without Derek Carr
2 years agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams enters Week 17 on a cold streak, having scored less than nine half-PPR fantasy points in three straight weeks. To break that slump this week, Adams will have to build a quick rapport with new starting quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who makes his first career start at home against the San Francisco 49ers. While the 49ers boast the top-scoring defense in the NFL, they have been susceptible to fantasy WRs, ranking as the eighth-easiest matchup for opposing fantasy WRs. Adams ranks second in the NFL in WR targets this season, averaging 10.7 targets per game. If he can sustain that kind of volume with Stidham under center, he is still a good bet to return WR1 numbers. Adams is a low-end WR1 this week.
