Won't play Sunday
Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Adams was unable to practice this week, and in his absence versus Denver, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner are in line to lead the Raiders' Week 5 wide receiver corps. While Adams' playing status this week is now confirmed, look for continued coverage in the coming days focusing on a potential deal to send the star pass catcher elsewhere.

Remains out from practice
Adams (hamstring) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams has now sat out three straight practices dating back to last Friday and is considered unlikely to play this Sunday in Denver. His continued absence from practice due to the hamstring injury comes after he informed the Raiders on Tuesday that he's seeking a trade, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Jets top the list of Adams' preferred landing spots, according to Rapoport, but the wideout is reportedly open to several other teams, which could make facilitating a deal easier from the…read more

Unlikely to play Week 5
Adams isn't expected to play Sunday against the Broncos due to his hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Adams -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- is viewed as week-to-week with his injury and is also a candidate to be traded by the Raiders, per Schefter. Regardless of what happens on the latter front, however, Adams is trending toward remaining sidelined this weekend. If that's the case, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner would be in line to lead the Raiders' receiver corps versus Denver.

Not practicing
Adams (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Most of the discussion surrounding Adams entails his desire to be traded, with Adam Schefter of ESPN relaying that the Jets and Saints rank as the receiver's preferred destinations. Adams seems unlikely to play Week 5, be it for the Raiders or another team, as he's considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury that he suffered during practice last Thursday. His expected absence this Sunday at Denver opens up more playing time for wideouts Tre Tucker and DJ Turner, while Jakobi Meyers and…read more

Wishlist topped by Jets and Saints
Adams (hamstring) is reportedly most interested in being traded to the Jets or Saints, where he would play with a familiar quarterback in either Aaron Rodgers (knee) or Derek Carr, according to Paul Gutierrez and Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Adams made his desire to be traded known Tuesday, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Raiders are looking for a return of at least a second-round pick in exchange for the wideout, in addition to further compensation. The 31-year-old is in the final guaranteed year of his contract, however, meaning he could be a one-year rental for a team that acquires him via trade. Seth Walder of ESPN.com notes that Las Vegas' ample cap space could allow the team to eat some of Adams' salary for the…read more

Desires trade
Adams (hamstring) informed the Raiders on Tuesday that he prefers to be traded rather than to continue playing in Las Vegas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams, who missed the Raiders' 20-16 win over the Browns in Week 4 due to a hamstring injury, is unhappy with his current situation and has informed the team of his desire to be dealt elsewhere, although no official trade request was made. Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports that internally, the organization had already planned to reevaluate Adams' tenure in Las Vegas ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 4. Adams compiled 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets through the…read more

Uncertain for Week 5
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that the status of Adams (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Broncos will depend on what he's able to do in practice this week, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams has been described as week-to-week due to the hamstring injury that kept him from suiting up for Las Vegas' 20-16 win over the Browns in Week 4, but it sounds like the standout receiver hasn't yet been ruled out for Week 5. As such, Adams' practice status on Wednesday's first official injury report of the week could be telling as to his chances of suiting up. Jakobi Meyers drew 10 targets with Adams sidelined versus Denver, while Tre Tucker was targeted six times and managed to score a…read more

Could miss multiple games
Adams (hamstring) is considered to be week-to-week while nursing his hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Adams suffered the hamstring injury in the final minutes of the Raiders' practice Thursday and has already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. Wide receivers and hamstring injuries are typically a bad pairing, and if Adams is forced to miss multiple weeks, Tre Tucker will likely be a primary beneficiary of additional touches, while offensive fixtures like Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers will see extra work as well.

Won't play Sunday
Coach Antonio Pierce relayed Friday that Adams (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Adams was added to the Raiders' injury report Thursday after being limited by a hamstring issue, and he'll sit this one out and target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 6 against the Broncos. In Adams' absence, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker will lead the team's Week 4 WR corps, with DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister and Ramel Keyton also on hand.

Added to injury report
Adams (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Quiet in loss
Adams recorded four receptions on nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Adams remained Gardner Minshew's favorite target, as both Tre Tucker and Jakobi Meyers had their stat lines padded in garbage time by Aidan O'Connell. Nevertheless, Adams' struggles due to quarterback play are worth noting, as he now has fewer than 60 yards in two of three games to begin the season. His Week 2 performance makes it clear that he can still deliver splash performances, but his results are likely to remain inconsistent.

Scores key TD on busy afternoon
Adams brought in nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 26-23 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Adams co-led the Raiders in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets in a game with volume reminiscent of his glory days with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. Adams' touchdown, a one-yard grab with 3:54 remaining in the fourth quarter, was also critical, as it erased a 23-16 deficit at the time and set the stage for Daniel Carlson's eventual game-winning field goal. Adams now has 18 targets through two games, an encouraging development for his chemistry with Gardner…read more

Modest Week 1 showing
Adams recorded five receptions on six targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Adams is likely to struggle to maintain elite efficiency this season given the quarterback situation in Las Vegas, though his target location and volume were both notable in Sunday's loss. Brock Bowers led the Raiders in targets in his first pro game with eight, and Gardner Minshew appeared unwilling to push the ball downfield when targeting Adams as the star wideout was forced to do the majority of his damage after the catch. If these trends persist, Adams will still be a useful fantasy…read more

Good to go
Adams (undisclosed) didn't appear on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Adams dealt with a minor unspecified issue last month, but Wednesday's injury report confirms that the wideout is healthy ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Chargers. The 31-year-old remains entrenched as the Raiders' top wideout, a role that enabled Adams to amass a 103-1,144-8 receiving line in 17 contests in 2023. Looking ahead, another high-volume campaign should be in store for Adams, who will be catching passes from a new starting quarterback in Gardner Minshew.

Dealing with minor injury
Adams didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas after he "tweaked something" at practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite not suiting up for Las Vegas' second exhibition game, Adams is expected to practice Tuesday, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. It seems unlikely that the star wideout will see any action in the Raiders' final game of the preseason against San Francisco on Friday, as head coach Antonio Pierce stated Saturday that the team's starters won't take part in that contest, according to Reed. If Adams doesn't participate in that contest, he'll go into the regular season without seeing any snaps…read more

Not suiting up Saturday
Adams isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams missed the Raiders' first exhibition at Minnesota due to the birth of his son, and he now will remain on the sideline for the second iteration. While he has 11 games of experience working with one of the players (Aidan O'Connell) currently vying to be the Week 1 starting QB for Las Vegas, Adams has yet to get any in-game reps with offseason signing Gardner Minshew. No matter who is under center for the team in the regular season, Adams remains productive on a per-game basis, having…read more

It's unclear if Adams will make an appearance during one of the Raiders' last two exhibitions, but the quarterback throwing him passes Week 1 and beyond seemingly will be known after Saturday's contest against the Cowboys.

Intends to remain with Las Vegas
Adams said Sunday at his annual youth football camp that he intends to play for the Raiders next season, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There was some speculation early in the offseason that the Raiders could pursue trading their star wideout, but GM Tom Telesco shot that idea down in late February. Adams' comments Sunday seem to solidify the expectation that he'll remain with Las Vegas for a third campaign in 2024. Adams reached the 100-reception mark for the fourth straight season in 2023, but his 1,144 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns were his lowest totals since 2019, when he played in only 12 games due to a…read more

No trade planned
Raiders GM Tom Telesco said Tuesday that Adams won't be traded this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams has three seasons remaining on his contract, including a full guarantee on his $16.89 million base salary for 2024. The number is reasonable enough that he'd have considerable trade value, but it sounds like the Raiders are more inclined to keep him around, figuring the 31-year-old wideout can not only help them win games but also help ease the transition for whoever ends up playing quarterback. That said, Telesco might change his mind if another team makes a strong offer.

Won't be disciplined by league
The NFL will not discipline Adams for the 2022 incident in which he shoved a photographer following a loss to Kansas City, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams pushed a photographer as he was leaving the field following the 2022 defeat, and the star wideout was originally charged with misdemeanor assault. That charge was later dismissed, but the NFL's investigation into the incident remained open. It now appears that the league's probe has been closed, with a decision to not dole out any discipline to Adams. From a fantasy perspective, that means managers won't have to ponder whether Adams will need to miss any games as a result of the incident,…read more

Scores to end season
Adams caught five of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Adams hauled in a three-yard touchdown to close the second quarter, marking his eighth score of the season. With five grabs, Adams also topped the 100-catch plateau for the fourth straight year, finishing the campaign with 103 receptions on 175 targets for 1,144 yards and the aforementioned eight TDs. Even with inconsistent quarterback play, Adams remains one of the league's most impactful wideouts, making him a reliable commodity heading into the offseason.

Massive numbers in Indy
Adams caught 13 of 21 targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The wideout was by far Aidan O'Connell's favorite target on the afternoon, as Jakobi Meyers was a distant second on the Raiders with a 6-56-0 line on 10 targets. Adams has topped the century mark in yards and gotten into the end zone in two of the last three games, and the late-season surge has left him just two catches short of his fifth career campaign with 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards.

Quiet performance in Week 16
Adams gathered in just one of six targets for four yards during Monday's 20-14 win in Kansas City.
Analysis: Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed had the unenviable task of covering Adams, and the result was the wide receiver's quietest outing of the season. It was a far cry from the 8-101-1 line on 12 targets that Adams put together in a Week 15 win against the Chargers, and he also remains 28 yards shy of his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard campaign with two games to play in the regular season. He'll look to get back on track Sunday at Indianapolis.

The perennial Pro Bowl wideout contributed to the jaw-dropping point total with a three-yard scoring grab on a pass from Jakobi Meyers that capped the opening drive of the second half and served as Adams' fourth touchdown of the campaign.

Adams (illness) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Adams approached the game listed as questionable after an illness led to him being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, but now that his Week 15 availability has been confirmed, the wideout should be able to maintain his high-volume role in the Raiders' passing game. Through 13 games this season, Adams leads the team with a PPR-friendly 76 catches (on 128 targets) for 867 yards and four touchdowns.

Adams missed Wednesday's practice with an illness and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Adams previously wasn't listed on the Week 15 injury report, so he may have first started feeling ill either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. With limited information on Adams' situation, fantasy managers should track his status carefully before inserting him into lineups this week. It's also unclear if Aidan O'Connell or Jimmy Garoppolo will be the starting quarterback for Las Vegas on Thursday.

Leading receiver in Week 14 loss
Adams caught seven of 10 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The Raiders' offense couldn't get anything going in the NFL's lowest-scoring game since 2007, but Adams still saw solid target volume and was the team's leading receiver. He's seen double-digit targets in three of the last four games, but Sunday's yardage was his lowest output in that stretch. Adams will look to take advantage of a good Week 15 matchup against the Chargers, who he posted an 8-75-0 line against on 13 targets in their first meeting this season.

The superstar wideout led Las Vegas in every receiving category minus touchdowns, as the team's only TD went to rookie tight end Michael Mayer, who caught the only offensive touchdown from either side in the contest.

Analysis: The three-time All-Pro receiver led the Raiders in receiving yards while seeing double-digit targets for the first time since Week 4, but the volume didn't result in outstanding numbers, with the aging Brian Hoyer getting the start under center in place of Jimmy Garoppolo (back). Garoppolo is expected back in Week 8 against the Lions, but Adams has still been held under 60 yards in three straight games, and Las Vegas' issues on offense extend beyond the health of the team's starting QB.

Adams (shoulder) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: Adams played through the same injury Monday in a 17-13 win over the Packers, and he'll likely be ready for a matchup with the Patriots this Sunday even if he doesn't practice much (or at all) this week.

The Raiders' No. 1 wideout was healthy enough to suit up and help his team secure the win, but he even admitted in a postgame interview that his shoulder affected his play Monday.

With his active status versus Green Bay confirmed, Adams should remain a key receiving target for QB Jimmy Garoppolo while facing the team that he played for between 2014 and 2021. In four…read more

Expected to play Monday
Adams (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Monday's matchup against the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams, who is officially listed as questionable for the game, looks set to face off against his former team for the first time. The veteran wideout has practiced only once since injuring his shoulder Week 4, logging a limited session Saturday, but he may have extra motivation to suit up Monday. Official confirmation of Adams' status will arrive when the Raiders release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for primetime game
Adams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's primetime contest against the Packers, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: Adams returned to practice in limited fashion Saturday for the first time this week, paving the way for the All-Pro wideout to potentially play come Monday. While fantasy managers might have to sweat Adams' status closer to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, neither the Raiders nor the veteran have seemingly released any information that suggests the star target would miss a chance to play against his former team.

Returning to practice Saturday
Adams (shoulder) is expected to practice in some capacity Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen what level of practice participation Adams will garner, but given the All-Pro target returned to Sunday's game after injuring his shoulder, it would be surprising if the veteran ultimately wasn't deemed healthy enough to play against his former team Monday night. Expect more information to be revealed in the coming hours.

Remains sidelined Friday
Adams (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Adams also didn't practice Thursday, which sets the stage for what he does during Saturday's session to be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Monday night against the Packers. If Adams ends up limited or out versus Green Bay, Tre Tucker and DeAndre Carter would be candidates to see added Week 5 WR snaps for the Raiders behind Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Renfrow.

Not practicing Thursday
Adams (shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams exited this past Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers with a shoulder injury, but he subsequently returned to action and finished with eight catches for 75 yards on 13 targets while playing 59 of the Raiders' 69 snaps on offense. With an absence from practice Thursday on tap, Adams' status is now worth tracking as Monday's game against the Packers approaches. As long as the wideout avoids any setbacks, he'll likely continue to play through the shoulder issue Monday.

Overcomes shoulder injury
Adams recorded eight receptions on 13 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Adams had a few obstacles to a productive day, the first of which was having fourth-round rookie Aidan O'Connell as his quarterback. He also suffered a shoulder injury in the first half and entered halftime having failed to record a catch. However, with the Raiders trying to catch up on the scoreboard, he managed to turn in a respectable performance thanks to a huge amount of volume in the second half. It was far from Adams' most efficient performance, but considering the challenges he faced,…read more

Goes off for two scores on SNF
Adams (head) corralled 13 of his game-high 19 targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Adams was in prime form for a nationally televised matchup against a defense coming off a dominant performance in Week 2. The 30-year-old's impressive play confirmed reports of good health after he was knocked out of last week's tilt with concerns of a head injury. Adams' valiant effort wasn't enough to lift the Raiders past a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but he certainly helped fantasy managers with a monster point total to close out Sunday's action.

Healthy after early Week 2 exit
Coach Josh McDaniels said Monday that Adams (head) is "good" after having been forced out of Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Adams was evaluated for a concussion Sunday, but it appears the star wideout retains a clean bill of health. He recorded six catches (on eight targets) for 84 yards and a score before exiting the Week 2 loss. Fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers was forced to sit out versus Buffalo due to a concussion, so it will be worth monitoring whether he can gain clearance and rejoin Adams on the field when the Raiders take on the Steelers in Week 3.

Adams, who was forced out of Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills, is being evaluated for a concussion.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Adams caught six of his eight targets for 84 yards and a TD. Now that Adams is under evaluation for a possible concussion, his status will need to be monitored ahead of next Sunday's game against the Steelers.

He finished with a 6-66-0 receiving line on nine targets while mostly being shadowed by Denver's top cornerback, Patrick Surtain. If he's able to overcome the foot injury, Adams will get another tough matchup Week 2 at Buffalo.

Targeted nine times in win
Adams (leg) corralled six of his nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over Denver.
Analysis: Adams had a pedestrian stat line by his lofty standards, but it was a positive to see him out there for the season opener after suffering a minor leg injury late in camp. New quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo targeted his star wideout nine times, but it was fellow new addition Jakobi Meyers who cashed in on both passing touchdowns Sunday. Meyers is dealing with a potential head injury, so Adams could be in store for even more targets against the Bills on Sunday.

Adams (leg) is slated to practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: An apparent right leg injury caused Adams to exit this past Friday's practice, but evidently it was a minor issue, given that the star pass catcher is set to take the field less than a week later. As Week 1 approaches, Adams remains the top option in a Raiders wide receiver corps that also includes newcomer Jakobi Meyers and returning slot man Hunter Renfrow.

The apparent right leg issue that caused Adams to exit Friday's practice is believed to be minor, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic.
Analysis: Adams' status is nonetheless something to monitor, but Reed's report suggests that the wideout avoided a major injury after walking off the field gingerly Friday. Coach Josh McDaniels downplayed the injury after Friday's practice. "I don't think it was crazy serious," McDaniels said. Adams will sit out Sunday's preseason opener against San Francisco, but he wasn't excepted to suit up even before getting hurt.

Heading into the 2023 season, Adams is in line to continue to lead a Raiders' wide receiver corps that also features newcomer Jakobi Meyers and slot man Hunter Renfrow, Carter Landis of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Also in the WR mix (among others) are Phillip Dorsett, DeAndre Carter, Keelan Cole and rookie third-rounder Tre Tucker, but Adams remains the team's undisputed top option after racking up 100 catches for 1,516 yards and 14 TDs (on 180 targets) in 17 games last season.

Adams recorded five receptions on nine targets for 73 yards in Saturday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Adams paced the Raiders in targets and yards, though his overall output was modest. He delivered long gains of 22, 18 and 13 yards to highlight his day, but he still produced fewer than 100 yards for the fourth time in his last five games. Adams finished his first season with the Raiders with 100 receptions, 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns. He'll return to Las Vegas for 2023, though it's unclear who his quarterback will be.

Leads NFL with 14 receiving TDs
Adams had seven receptions (11 targets) for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Adams broke out of his recent slump by scoring his league-leading 13th and 14th receiving touchdowns against the No. 1 ranked pass defense. Las Vegas' offense looked more explosive with new quarterback Jarrett Stidham under center, which is a great sign for the star wideout moving forward. The Raiders were unable to keep their playoff hopes alive, but Adams and Stidham will look to build off of this promising showing to close out the regular season against the Chiefs next Sunday.

Only two catches in Week 16
Adams reeled in two of nine targets for 15 yards during Saturday's 13-10 loss in Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Despite having their full allotment of skill-position talent, the Raiders had all sorts of trouble getting anything going on the ground or through the air Week 16. Mustering just 143 net passing yards didn't do them any favors, and Adams finished with less than 40 receiving yards for the fifth occasion in 15 games this season.

The frustrating night for the Raiders' passing attack and Adams in particular was fittingly capped off by a game-sealing interception for the Rams on a 26-yard pass intended for the All-Pro receiver, who posted his lowest reception and yardage totals since Week 8.

Torches Chargers in win
Adams caught eight of 12 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The 29-year-old's chemistry with Derek Carr, and the lack of other healthy, reliable options in the Raiders passing game, continues to lead to some mind-boggling numbers for Adams. While Sunday's 177 yards set a new personal best in a Las Vegas jersey, he's posted three multi-TD performances in the last five games and topped 120 receiving yards in four of them, a stretch in which he's amassed a staggering 41-664-7 line on 67 targets.

Analysis: The former Packer led the Raiders in catches and targets while tying Josh Jacobs for the team lead in receiving yards. While his TD streak ended at three games, Adams has double-digit targets and at least seven grabs in four straight contests, and he sits just one yard shy of his fourth career 1,000-yard campaign -- a mark he should reach early in a Week 13 clash with the Chargers.

Analysis: Adams earned double-digit targets for the third consecutive game and shredded the Denver secondary for scores of 31 and 35 yards. The latter was his longest catch of the day and also accounted for the game-winning touchdown, and he also turned in two additional receptions of more than 20 yards. Adams has surpassed 100 receiving yards in each of his last three matchups while scoring five touchdowns in that span.

Analysis: The Raiders' decision to limit Adams' practice reps and place him on the injury report for a second straight week can be taken as a sign that he wasn't at full strength in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Adams caught one of five targets for three yards and rushed once for a loss of a yard in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Adams didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: A bug may be working its way around the Las Vegas locker room, as Adams was one of four Raiders who were listed as non-participants Wednesday on account of an illness. The wideout's status is thus worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints. In the Raiders' 38-20 win over the Texans in Week 7, Adams hauled in eight of his nine targets for 95 yards.

Eight grabs Sunday
Adams caught eight of nine targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: The Raiders' passing game didn't have much to do during a game in which Josh Jacobs and the defense combined for four TDs, but as usual, Adams led the club in receptions, targets and receiving yards. It's the third time in six games the former Packer has hauled in at least eight passes, and it's only the second time he failed to get into the end zone. While his floor remains outstanding, Adams could have something closer to a ceiling game in Week 8 against a Saints secondary that just got lit…read more

Discipline from league not imminent
Adams isn't expected to face any possible discipline stemming from his shove of a credentialed photographer Monday in the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs until his legal situation pertaining to the incident is resolved, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams was charged Wednesday with a city ordinance violation of assault, with his citation stating that he "did, by an intentional, overt act, inflict bodily injury or cause an unlawful offensive contact" on the photographer, who reportedly suffered from whiplash and a headache along with a possible concussion. A preliminary court date of Nov. 10 has been set, but Adams will remain on the field for Las Vegas until the legal case ends and the NFL decides whether or not to levy punishment on the…read more

Facing assault charge
Adams was charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a credentialed media worker following the Raiders' loss to Kansas City on Monday, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: According to court records released Wednesday, the wideout was cited for an "intentional, overt act" that inflicted "bodily injury." Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Adams could be facing discipline from the league, possibly including a suspension. With the Raiders on bye Week 6, Adams could be at risk of missing an Oct. 23 matchup with the Texans in Week 7.

Could face league discipline
Adams' shove of a credentialed worker after Monday night's loss to Kansas City is being reviewed by the NFL, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Adams issued an apology after Monday's loss via his official Twitter account, but it's possible that the league's investigation into the incident could result in a fine or suspension. The star wideout recorded two long touchdowns on three catches (seven targets) for 124 yards Monday, continuing what has been another outstanding season for the 29-year-old.

Delivers as deep threat
Adams recorded three receptions on seven targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Adams was limited from a volume perspective, but he made his receptions count by delivering scores of 58 and 48 yards. Even with the positive performance, he could have produced even more. Adams drew two pass interference calls deep down the field, had a lengthy reception overturned on review, ans collided with Hunter Renfrow on another potential long reception in the closing seconds of the game. It's easy to overlook the missed opportunities however, as Adams has topped 100 receiving yards in…read more

Tops century mark Sunday
Adams caught nine of 13 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: He also added four yards on one carry. Adams continues to enjoy his reunion with Derek Carr, topping 100 receiving yards in two of four games as a Raider so far, and his volume was especially impressive in this one as Carr managed to throw for only 188 yards in total on the afternoon. Adams saw his TD streak end at three games to begin the season, but he'll look to start a new one in Week 5 in an AFC West clash with Kansas City.

Saved by touchdown
Adams recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Adams tied for the team lead with 10 targets, but he produced little with the opportunity. His longest gain went for 18 yards, though none of his other four catches went for more than seven yards. Positively, Adams did score a short touchdown and has now found the end zone in all of his games as a Raider. However, since racking up 141 receiving yards in Week 1, Adams has combined to record only seven receptions for 48 yards across his last two contests.

Quiet in Week 2
Adams caught two passes for 12 yards and one touchdown on seven targets in the overtime loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Credit is owed to Arizona defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who evidently got the better of Raiders coach Josh McDaniels. Adams is the engine of the Raiders passing game, and the Cardinals managed to deny Las Vegas the chance to get the machine up and running. The Raiders need to and likely will get Adams more involved against Tennessee in Week 3.

Big game with new team
Adams caught 10 passes on 17 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in a loss against the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Raiders passing game wasn't very healthy overall in this game as Derek Carr struggled with sacks and turnovers, but Adams himself dominated almost out of the gate. With the big performance, Adams somewhat answers any doubts about whether his usage can keep up with the standards he set previously in Green Bay, even if he's unlikely to maintain the target share he posted in this particular game (17 of 35 team targets). Whatever the other specifics, the Raiders offense should run primarily…read more

Not dressed to play
Adams and other Raiders starters aren't in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against Miami, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams and QB Derek Carr aren't dressed, nor are a number of other key players, reportedly. If the former Fresno State teammates do see any action this preseason, it'll have to be in the team's fourth and final game (the Raiders were in the Hall of Fame Game this year and have held out key starters every week so far).

Sits out Thursday
Adams didn't play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game win versus the Jaguars, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Raiders' massive offseason trade acquisition, Adams was merely a spectator in his first chance to take the field for the team in an actual game. He'll have up to three more opportunities to do so, starting Sunday, Aug. 14 against the Vikings. Once he does, Adams likely will be on the receiving end of passes from former college teammate Derek Carr.

Could be rested Thursday
Though Vic Tafurof The Athletic suggests that coach Josh McDaniels seems unlikely to share which of his players will face the Jaguars in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, he suggests that QB Derek Carr and other key starters (which describes Adams) will end up being spectators.
Analysis: If Adams doesn't see any snaps Thursday or alternatively ends up making a cameo, he'll have three more chances to get a portion of preseason reps. In any case, as long as Adams avoids any injury issues ahead of Week 1, the Raiders' splashy offseason trade acquisition is poised to see plenty of targets in 2022 from QB Derek Carr, his former college quarterback at Fresno State.

The Packers traded Adams to the Raiders for two draft picks in the 2022 NFL Draft on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: A week and a half removed from receiving the franchise tag from the Packers, Adams suddenly finds himself on the move. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Adams will sign a new contract with the Raiders for five years, $141.25 million as he reunites with Derek Carr, his college quarterback at Fresno State.

Tells team he won't play under tag
Adams has informed the Packers he won't play on the franchise tag, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Packers tagged Adams last week, as expected, keeping the star wideout under team control alongside QB Aaron Rodgers. The team has a difficult cap situation and apparently hasn't made much early progress in long-term discussions with Adams, but the two sides still have four months to reach an agreement before the July 15 extension deadline for franchise-tagged players.

Analysis: Green Bay now has addressed two of its biggest question marks of the offseason in the matter of hours, keeping Adams in the fold following Aaron Rodgers' decision to return for an 18th season. Adams has strung together six consecutive campaigns with at least 117 targets, a stretch in which he's averaged 97 catches for 1,199 yards and 11.5 touchdowns per season.

Co-leads team in catches
Adams secured nine of 11 targets for 90 yards during the Packers' 13-10 divisional-round loss to the 49ers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Adams drew even with Aaron Jones for the team lead in receptions while pacing the team in targets. The standout receiver was particularly productive early, recording the game's first catch (14 yards), adding 10- and 11-yard receptions on that opening drive, and contributing another pair of grabs for 15 yards before halftime.

Secures team record
Adams caught six passes for 55 yards on seven targets against Detroit on Sunday.
Analysis: Adams could have done much more if he and Aaron Rodgers had played the entire game, but the main reason for Adams playing at all was arguably to get him the Green Bay single-season receiving yardage record, which he successfully secured with this box score. Adams finishes the regular season with 123 receptions for 1,553 yards (beating Jordy Nelson's 1,519 from 2014) and 11 touchdowns in 16 games, and now he'll prepare for Green Bay's playoff run.

Goes off vs. MIN
Adams hauled in 11 of 14 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-10 win over Minnesota.
Analysis: The proven Aaron Rodgers to Adams connection was met with little resistance by the Vikings for the second time this season (the star receiver notched a 7-115-2 line versus Minnesota back in Week 11). Adams accrued most of his stats in just one half of football, as Green Bay blew out its division rival with ease.

Trademark performance in win
Adams brought in 10 of 13 targets for 114 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 24-22 win over the Browns on Saturday.
Analysis: Adams delivered one of his marquee efforts in the narrow victory, with his nine- and one-yard touchdown grabs in the first half the icing on the cake of his fourth 100-yard effort in the last five games. The multi-time Pro Bowler now has four double-digit catch tallies as well for the season and boasts a pair of 13-target games in the last three weeks. Adams next faces a Vikings team in Week 17 that he generated a 7-115-2 line against back in Week 11 on the road.

Low yardage but scores
Adams caught six of seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Adams shook his defender before hauling in a three-yard touchdown during the second quarter, surprisingly giving him a score in consecutive games for just the first time this season. That contribution helped compensate for otherwise underwhelming totals by Adams' lofty standards, as his 44 yards marked his second-lowest tally this term. Coming off three straight 100-yard outings, Adams came back to earth a bit Sunday, but the star nonetheless remains a top receiving option ahead of Week 16's…read more

Goes off for two scores
Adams (hamstring) hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Adams was dealing with a bum hamstring during practice this week, and he was quiet out of the gates in this one. The superstar wideout could be held back only for so long, as he and Aaron Rodgers dominated the Bears' defense from the second quarter onward. Adams has now produced three straight 100-plus yard games while scoring four touchdowns over that span. He will attempt to stretch that streak to four games against the Ravens in Week 15.

Adams recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Adams didn't dominate targets in his typical fashion, as Marquez Valdes-Scantling saw nine targets and Allen Lazard six. Even so, Adams topped 100 receiving yards for the fifth time this season and for the second consecutive game. Adams did the majority of his damage on a 43-yard reception late in the second quarter, and he came just shy of finding the end zone after being pushing out of bounds at the 11 yard line.

Analysis: Adams was battling a shoulder injury throughout practice this week, but he showed no ill effects in a dominant showing on the gridiron.

Adams caught seven passes for 78 yards on 11 targets against Seattle on Sunday.
Analysis: Adams could have done more against this vulnerable secondary, but the Packers seemed just a tad disjointed as Aaron Rodgers made his return from a one-game COVID absence.

A residual effect was Allen Lazard sitting out, too, as a close contact of Adams, but now both wide receivers are back on the active roster.

Adams (illness) returned to the Packers' facility Thursday, with head coach Matt LaFleur noting that he's "hopeful" that the wideout will be able to play Sunday against Kansas City, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Per the report, there are still some COVID-19 protocols that Adams -- who missed the team's Week 8 win over the Cardinals -- has to pass through before he can be cleared to play this weekend. If that happens, Adams' looming return would be a big boost to the Packers offense, which will be helmed Sunday by quarterback Jordan Love, with starter Aaron Rodgers (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list and unavailable to play.

Adams' odds of playing took another hit when he didn't fly with the team to Arizona on Wednesday, but he could have arranged private travel Thursday if he submitted a second negative COVID-19 test result 24 hours after the first negative test.

Analysis: Adams never appeared likely to play Thursday after testing positive for the virus at the beginning of a short week. Allen Lazard has been deemed a close contact and also expected to miss the game, leaving Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown, Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor as the four wide receivers on Green Bay's active roster.

Likely out Thursday
Adams said earlier this season that he is vaccinated, which means his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday is due to a positive test result. The wideout will need to test negative twice 24 hours apart before being activated, which is unlikely to happen before Thursday's game at Arizona, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: It's a tough break for Adams and the Packers on a short week of preparation, and he's now expected to miss his first game of the season. The 28-year-old would need to produce two negative tests by Wednesday to travel with the team to Arizona, while if a second negative test came Thursday he'd need to travel separately.

Analysis: Adams was having a relatively quiet day until he ripped off a 41-yard catch and run midway through the fourth quarter on a drive that would culminate in the final points of the day for either club. The multi-time Pro Bowler's performance arguably qualifies as at least a mild disappointment following his 11-206-1 line in the overtime win against the Bengals in Week 5, as the solid yardage total was nevertheless Adams' second lowest of the last five games.

In fact, Adams found himself in the familiar position of pacing the Packers in receptions and targets, but he saw both of Aaron Rodgers' scoring throws go to Randall Cobb, who also outgained Adams by five yards for the team lead in that category.

Analysis: The patented Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams connection carried the Packers' offense all evening, highlighted by a perfect 25-yard strike that put Mason Crosby in range for a game-winning kick as time expired. The superstar wideout exited the game briefly after taking a hard shot to the head that left him on the ground for a couple of moments, but he was able to return in time to play a pivotal role on the final drive. After a forgettable Week 1 for the entire Green Bay offense, Adams has racked up…read more

Tops 100 yards in win
Adams caught eight of nine targets for 121 yards in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Adams was limited to underneath work in the first half but got his night going with a 50-yard bomb from Aaron Rodgers to begin the third quarter. Rodgers' trusty top target then saved his quarterback by breaking up a would-be interception on their next drive -- the only unsuccessful target in his direction -- before hauling in a 22-yard pass shortly after. As arguably the league's best wideout, Adams bounced back from a relatively quiet Week 1 with a more familiar performance Monday. He'll now…read more

Makes little impact in loss
Adams caught five of seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Aaron Rodgers had one of the worst games of his career, and as a result Adams couldn't get much going even though he led the Packers in receptions. The All-Pro receiver might have posted better numbers, but both he and Rodgers took a seat for most of the fourth quarter in the blowout. Adams should be able to rebound at home in Week 2 against a Lions squad he's lit up for 57 catches, 602 yards and seven TDs in 11 career meetings.

Out for preseason opener
Adams will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not play in Saturday's contest as expected, and the Packers will hold their top wide receiver out as well. Rodgers is unlikely to play during the preseason, so Adams may not take the field until Week 1.

Seeking to be highest-paid wideout
Adams is seeking to become the league's highest-paid wideout, but he and the Packers have differing definitions on the meaning of that term, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Adams is set to become a free agent after this season, and he expressed publicly Wednesday that he is looking for an average annual salary that makes him the top-paid pass catcher in the league. That title is currently held by Arizona's DeAndre Hopkins, who, after joining the Cardinals, agreed to a two-year extension that averages $27.25 million per season. Adams is presumably looking to top that number, but the Packers believe the average salary of Hopkins' entire contract -- which comes out…read more

Willing to reopen extension talks
Following the expected restructure of Aaron Rodgers' contract, Adams has indicated he's willing to discuss a new contract with the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Adams and the Packers broke off negotiations for an extension less than a week ago after things grew stale, but the reported new Rodgers deal seems to have spurred the star wideout's willingness to get things back on track. Adams figures to snare a new deal among the top-paid wideouts in the league when he signs on the dotted line as he enters the last season of a four-year, $58.96 million contract with the Packers that he signed in late 2017.

Adams is entering the fourth and final year of the four-year, $58 million extension he signed in 2017, and his future with the Packers beyond 2020 is now in doubt.

Adams and the Packers are in the early stages of discussing a contract extension, Paulina Dedaj of FOX News reports.
Analysis: Adams is entering the fourth and final season of a four-year, $58 million extension, with his $12.25 million base salary an obvious bargain for the Packers after the wideout enjoyed a career-best campaign in 2020.

Limited by Bucs' secondary
Adams recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 31-26 loss to the Buccaneers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: As has become the norm, Adams saw a multitude of targets -- accounting for 31 percent of Aaron Rodgers' pass attempts. Adams turned that into a decent statistical performance, but he was held to 15 yards or fewer on all of his receptions. Despite not being able to work deep, he did haul in a two-yard touchdown grab in the midst of a dramatic comeback attempt. Adams will head into the final year of his contract in 2021 and should return to form as a top receiver remaining paired with Rodgers.

Tallies nine receptions
Adams recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams.
Analysis: Adams delivered in a much anticipated matchup with cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Despite the tough draw, Adams was targeted 10 times, and he's now commanded double-digit targets in five of his last six contests. He beat Ramsey early in the second quarter for a one-yard reception to notch the Packers' first touchdown of the game.

Sets records in victory
Adams caught all six of his targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Adams didn't have a big game by his lofty standards, but he still managed to find the end zone. In doing so, he tied the Packers' franchise record with 18 touchdown receptions this season, and he also set a new team-best mark with 115 total catches. Remarkably, those totals came despite Adams missing two games due to injury. Arguably the NFL's best wide receiver, Adams will now have a week off before Green Bay hosts a divisional-round playoff game.

Torches Titans for three TDs
Adams racked up 11 receptions (12 targets) for 142 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-14 rout of the Titans.
Analysis: Sleet, snow and the Titans' secondary could not stop Adams from posting yet another monster fantasy performance on the national stage. The 28-year-old didn't even have his stats boosted by a particular big play, as his game high of a 32-yard reception showed that he and Aaron Rodgers consistently picked up big chunks of yardage throughout the cold winter night. This was Adams' seventh game with at least 100 yards and a touchdown this season, and he accomplished that in just 13 contests as a…read more

Adams logged seven receptions on 10 targets for 42 yards in Week 15 against the Panthers.
Analysis: Adams got off to a hot start, recording 29 yards by the end of the Packers' second possession. However, the team jumped ahead 21-3, which limited Aaron Rodgers to only 10 second-half pass attempts and in turn suppressed Adams' ability to produce. Adams' stat line was further limited by his inability to find the end zone -- the first time he has failed to score since Week 6 -- and the fact that he was limited to working in short areas of the field.

Analysis: Adams helped Green Bay pose a response to Detroit's opening-drive TD, demonstrating his elite skill set during a 56-yard jaunt. Not only did the three-time Pro Bowler outmaneuver cornerback Amani Oruwariye for the contested catch, but he also weaved past a trio of Lions defenders en route to his 14th score of the season.

Adams wasn't needed much after the hot start, as the Packers comfortably led by double-digits from the second quarter onward.

He now should be ready for his usual hefty workload, albeit in a tricky road matchup with a Bucs defense that sometimes uses CB Carlton Davis in shadow coverage on the opponent's top receiver. Of course, the matchup really only matters for DFS, as Adams is a locked-in weekly starter for any other fantasy format.

Adams was unable to practice in any capacity this week, but the team will wait a bit longer before making a final call on his availability. If Adams is sidelined this weekend, Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will handle most of the wide receiver reps for Green Bay.

Unlikely to play
Coach Matt LaFleur said Adams (hamstring) is "probably doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Saints, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Adams hasn't practiced at all this week, but the Packers aren't quite ready to rule him out. It sounds like he'll be listed as doubtful on the final injury report, but it's possible the team goes with the 'questionable' designation instead. The Packers and Saints are playing Sunday night.

Not seen at practice
Adams (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A third consecutive absence suggests Adams is in serious danger of missing Sunday night's game in New Orleans. It would be a huge blow to the Green Bay offense, though Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling both have played pretty well this year. Another update will be available when the Packers release their final Week 3 injury report Friday afternoon.

Misses another practice
Adams (hamstring) didn't partake in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Instead, Adams spent the session rehabbing his balky hamstring on the side. With two absences under his belt this week, he has just one more chance to prove his health on the field before Sunday night's game at New Orleans. In the end, Adams' Week 3 fate could be known upon the release of Friday's injury report. A DNP on game day would leave the Packers shorthanded at wide receiver, with just three healthy bodies in Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Malik Taylor.

Week 3 status unknown
Adams, who didn't practice Wednesday, said a decision on whether he'll play through a strained hamstring will be made late in the week, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adams was held out of the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Lions out of an abundance of caution. The fact the Packers held a huge lead played a part in coach Matt LaFleur's thought process. On Wednesday, Adams also noted "it's too early to tell" where he stands at the moment, so his ability (or lack thereof) to return to the practice field Thursday and/or Friday may be the first tell for his availability for Sunday's game at New Orleans, which kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET.

Starts week with absence
Adams (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams suffered the injury in the second half of Sunday's 42-21 win over the Lions, and while he reportedly wanted to re-enter the game, he was held out for the entire fourth quarter. Reports suggest his hamstring strain is minor, but the absence from practice hints at some degree of concern regarding his availability for Week 3 at New Orleans. An 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff could make this a tricky situation for fantasy managers if the star wideout comes down to a game-day decision.

Status for Week 3 still TBD
The hamstring strain Adams suffered in the Packers' Week 2 win over the Lions is considered minor, but his status for Sunday's game at New Orleans hasn't been determined, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After a huge Week 1 outing in Minnesota, Adams reeled in three targets for 36 yards against Detroit before exiting in the second half. Green Bay had already built a sizable lead at the time Adams suffered the injury, so the coaching staff wasn't eager to rush him back to the field while he was less than 100 percent healthy. That said, Adams will still need to prove the strained hamstring isn't too much of a deterrent in practice this week to ensure his availability for the primetime matchup in…read more

Injury severity downplayed
Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Adams (hamstring) pushed to return to action during the Packers' Week 2 win over the Lions, but the wideout was kept on the sideline due to the Packers' sizable lead, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Adams exited in the second half of the contest, but it sounds as though he could have re-entered the game if Green Bay's offense had needed him. The star pass-catcher doesn't look to be in serious danger of missing the Packers' upcoming Sunday night matchup against the Saints, but fantasy managers will nonetheless want to track his activity in practice as the week rolls along.

Leaves with hamstring issue
Adams suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Adams missed the Packers' third possession of the second half, after which the team termed him questionable to return. If he doesn't retake the field, he'll end Week 2 with three catches on as many targets for 36 yards. This injury leaves the team with three healthy wide receivers (Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Malik Taylor).

Paces pass catchers in Week 1 win
Adams secured 14 of 17 targets for 156 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 43-34 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Adams and Aaron Rodgers had their prolific connection in midseason form right from the jump, with the veteran wideout putting up game-high reception, receiving yardage, target and receiving touchdown totals. Adams' first score came on a nifty 24-yard grab near the right sideline of the end zone late in the first half, and he added a one-yard scoring catch late in the third quarter. The 27-year-old may have a difficult time topping Sunday's performance this season, but he'll have a good matchup…read more

Returns to practice
Adams (foot/ankle) returned to practice Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It took only three days for Adams to return from a foot/ankle injury that was deemed to be a minor issue by head coach Matt LaFleur. The 27-year-old remains the top pass catcher in the Packers offense among a smattering of other unproven or unreliable options.

Coach Matt LaFleur noted Thursday that Adams (foot/ankle) isn't dealing with a serious injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: When referencing the issues that prevented Adams and Za'Darius Smith from practicing Thursday, LaFleur indicated that they are "nothing serious (and) they'll be back in a matter of time." Demovsky previously reported that Adams dropped out of Wednesday's practice briefly due to an apparent right foot/ankle issue.

Adams (foot/ankle) isn't in pads for Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Adams appeared to suffer a minor injury during Wednesday's session, but he rejoined his teammates after a brief absence. The cautious approach Thursday morning comes as no surprise, given that Adams has nothing to prove or compete for this summer. He's locked in as the top option in the Packers' passing attack, head and shoulders above everyone else.

Remains clear No. 1
Adams is the clear No. 1 receiver on the Green Bay depth chart posted by Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
Analysis: The Packers did not invest much in terms of resources in the wide receiver position over the offseason, but even if they had no one would have surpassed Adams as Aaron Rodgers' No. 1 target. Adams missed four games last season and still fell just shy of the 1,000-yard mark, and he blew past that number if you throw in the 298 yards he compiled in two postseason games. Adams scored 40 times over the last four years and averaged over 10 targets per game each of the last two seasons, so he has…read more

Valiant effort to finish season
Adams secured nine of 10 targets for 138 yards during the Packers' 37-20 loss to the 49ers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: A significant chunk of Adams' production came on a 65-yard grab in the fourth quarter, a play that saw him impressively beat Richard Sherman on a go route. Otherwise, Adams mostly generated his game-high reception total on short completions, averaging just 9.1 yards on his other eight catches. Adams finished with four 100-yard efforts over his last five games, including the postseason, a stretch during which he also recorded four receiving touchdowns.

Carries offense in win
Adams caught eight of 11 targets for 160 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Adams averaged an impressive 20.0 yards per catch, as he accounted for nearly two-thirds of Aaron Rodgers' passing yardage. The duo connected for a 20-yard touchdown in the first quarter while adding an electric 40-yard score in the third. Adams also helped put the game away with a beautiful 32-yard over-the-shoulder catch in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The talented wideout is averaging 118 yards per game with four touchdowns over his last four contests, and he'll look to continue…read more

Ends regular season with score
Adams hauled in seven of his 13 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 17 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Adams once again served as Aaron Rodgers' primary receiver and benefited by racking up at least 13 targets for the third straight game. Thanks to that tremendous volume, Adams fell just three yards short of his second consecutive 1,000 yard season -- an impressive feat given that he was active for only 12 games. He and the Packers will be in action next in the divisional round of the playoffs, and he should again be at the forefront of the offensive gameplan. Looking to the future, Adams is…read more

Stellar showing in critical win
Adams brought in 13 of 16 targets for 116 yards in the Packers' 23-10 win over the Vikings on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Adams was in vintage form during the critical victory, posting a season high in catches and his second straight 100-yard effort. It was also Adams' seventh double-digit target game in the last eight. There's little doubt that Adams will see plenty of attention from Aaron Rodgers in Week 17 against a vulnerable Lions secondary, a game which Green Bay will need to win to clinch a first-round bye in the postseason.

Finds end zone vs. Bears
Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-13 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Adams received a whopping 39 percent of the team's targets on the day, topping the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this season. He also scored a 29-yard touchdown to get his team on the board in the first quarter, giving him four TDs in his last four games. Adams is thriving after a rough first half of the season and will look to take advantage of a vulnerable Vikings secondary next Monday.

Ready for NFC North battle
Adams (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Analysis: Adams was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, with the Packers managing his reps to reduce the odds of any complications from the toe injury that cost him four games earlier this season. The wideout has been productive - but perhaps a bit less explosive - since his return to the lineup, averaging 6.2 catches for 61.4 yards and 0.6 touchdowns on 9.8 targets in five appearances. Sub-freezing temperatures at Lambeau Field won't be optimal for passing/receiving production, but…read more

Adams (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: This marks the first time Adams has been anything but a full practice participant in the month of December. Having said that, the Packers may be taking a cautious approach with the wideout in the stretch run of a season in which his toe issue has followed him since his return to action in Week 9. Friday's practice report will be telling with regard to his availability Sunday against the Bears.

Quiet in Week 14 win
Adams brought in four of six targets for 41 yards in the Packers' 20-15 win over the Redskins on Sunday.
Analysis: Adams checked in second in receptions and third in receiving yardage for the Packers on the afternoon, but on a day when Aaron Rodgers threw for less than 200 yards, that didn't amount to much. The star wideout has now failed to hit the 100-yard mark in three consecutive contests, but he's partly made up for modest yardage tallies over that span with three touchdown grabs. He'll look to bounce back in a divisional face-off with the Bears in Week 15.

Has two-touchdown day
Adams caught six of 10 targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Giants. He fumbled during the game, but the offense maintained possession.
Analysis: Despite a snow-covered field, Adams managed to strike twice against the Giants. First, he capped off the Packers' opening drive with an eight-yard touchdown in which he found a hole in the zone and plunged into the end zone. He struck again in the fourth quarter on a 17-yard catch in the back of the end zone on a free play. Adams, when healthy, has been prolific, with at least six catches in six of eight games, but scoring has been the issue. He now has three touchdowns in his last two games…read more

No designation for Week 13
Adams (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Adams never advanced beyond limited participation in practices this week, but those restrictions were likely just maintenance-related rather than indicative of a setback with the toe injury that previously cost him four games. In his three outings since returning to action, Adams has caught 21 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown across 33 targets.

Limited in practice Wednesday
Adams (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. "I'm feeling like myself now," Adams told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday. "The lack of numbers has nothing to do with my toe."
Analysis: Adams' listing on the injury report belies his comments, at least in the sense that the toe he sprained back in Week 4 is to blame for his cap in practice reps. In three appearances since returning from a four-game absence, Adams has received a whopping 33 targets and scored his first touchdown of the season, but his peripheral numbers (6.1 yards per target and 63.6 percent catch rate) leave much to be desired.

Seven catches plus score
Adams had seven receptions (12 targets) for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-8 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Adams -- like many Green Bay offensive options -- was bottled up by San Francisco's stout defense for the majority of the contest. The 26-year-old was able to salvage a pedestrian day with a short touchdown reception late in the third quarter. It was surprisingly Adams' first touchdown reception of 2019 after he posted double-digit totals in three consecutive seasons.

Analysis: After the Packers' Week 11 bye, Adams remained limited in practice due to the toe injury that forced DNPs from Weeks 5 through 8. Still, it won't stop him from suiting for a third consecutive contest versus a 49ers defense that has conceded just 6.7 yards per target and nine total touchdowns to wide receivers in 10 games this season.

Adams caught seven of 10 targets for 118 yards during Sunday's 24-16 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Adams torched a tough Panthers pass defense for 16.9 yards per catch as he delivered his third 100-yard receiving game of the season. He looked much more like himself after struggling a week ago and seems to be past the toe injury that cost him four games earlier this season. Adams has drawn double-digit targets in each of his last three games and will look to build on this effort in Week 12 against the 49ers after the upcoming bye.

High volume in return
Adams caught seven of 11 targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The receiver led the Packers in targets in his return from a four-game absence -- in fact, no other Green Bay WR saw more than Allen Lazard's four -- but Aaron Rodgers didn't have time to let his favorite option run any deep routes due to the Chargers' pass rush, and Adams' longest grab went for only nine yards. He didn't appear hampered by his toe issue, however, and a healthy Adams stands a good chance of posting better numbers next week against the Panthers.

Analysis: Adams has been sidelined since Week 4 due to the toe injury and was deemed a game-time decision by coach Matt LaFleur on Friday.
