Davante Adams Still The Team's Top Target
1 year agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn't known for going deep, but The Athletic's Vic Tafur thinks he should target wide receiver Davante Adams often and all over the field in 2023. Jakobi Meyers is in the mix now, but Adams will still get the majority of the targets, as head coach Josh McDaniel wants to keep him happy after Adams said he doesn't always see eye to eye with the new regime in Vegas. Adams' 180 targets were second in the league in 2022 in his first year with the Raiders, and he also had a league-high 14 receiving touchdowns. Given the QB change alone, the 30-year-old's numbers are expected to take a dip, but he's still no worse than a low-end WR1 with the target volume expected to remain high.
