Davante Adams has run a league-high 10 routes inside the opponent's 3-yard line this season, turning seven targets into six receptions, all of which resulted in touchdowns (1.7 routes per touchdown).

Davante Adams has caught just five of 28 tight-window targets (less than one yard of separation) for 29 yards and three touchdowns this season, resulting in a 17.9% catch rate, a mark that ranks 205th out of 207 wide receivers with at least 25 such targets in a season during the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016).

Could miss Thursday's game

Head coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions that Adams (hamstring) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Seahawks, though McVay "wouldn't rule (Adams) out quite yet," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Adams left Sunday's win over the Lions in the fourth quarter and didn't return after aggravating a hamstring injury. The veteran wide receiver was optimistic about his injury after the game, and while Adams appears to have avoided a significant injury, he'll be hard-pressed to recover on a short week in time to face the Seahawks on Thursday in a game with significant implications in the NFC West race.

Hurts hamstring against Lions

Adams (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Analysis: Adams pulled up lame and fell down while running a deep route in the fourth quarter. He went to the locker room shortly afterward, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Adams presumably aggravated the hamstring injury that cut into his practice participation throughout the week and had the veteran wide receiver listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game. Prior to getting injured, Adams caught four of nine targets for 71 yards.

Active as expected Sunday

Adams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Analysis: Adams got in only a limited Friday practice during Week 15 prep, but Saturday reports indicated the veteran wideout was trending to play. With his availability for Sunday's marquee matchup now confirmed, Adams should be in line for his usual No. 2 receiver role that's afforded him 8.1 targets per game to date while facing an injury-decimated Lions secondary.

Still expected to suit up Sunday

Adams (hamstring), who is officially questionable to face the Lions on Sunday, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week but logged a limited session Friday. Though he entered the weekend deemed questionable to suit up, coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Friday that the star wideout would be able to give it a go, and that looks like it will indeed be the case. Adams could be in for a big game against a Lions defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to wideouts this season.

Questionable, expected to play

Adams (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, but he's expected to play, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams has been managing the same hamstring injury since September without ever missing a game, but there was perhaps some concern this week after he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. It sounds like the Rams may not share that concern, but they're still giving Adams an injury designation, which means his fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the situation this weekend, heading into a 4:25 p.m. kickoff Sunday.

Another missed practice

Adams (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Analysis: So far during Week 15 prep, Adams sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and then was seen rehabbing his hamstring on the side one day later, ultimately going down as a non-participant for a second straight session. He thus has one more chance to mix into drills this week, but there's been no indication from coach Sean McVay that Adams is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Lions.

Continues to rehab hamstring

Adams (hamstring) was spotted rehabbing on the side as the Rams warmed up for Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Analysis: Adams didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering hamstring injury and may go down as a DNP for a second straight day, which ultimately will be revealed when the Rams post their second Week 15 practice report. He also dealt with the issue last week but suited up this past Sunday in Arizona, logging a season-low 43 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 29 yards.

Sits out walkthrough

Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16.

Takes back seat to Nacua

Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.

Analysis: Adams suffered his worst fantasy output of the season in Week 14 as the Cardinals keyed in defensively on the touchdown machine. The 32-year-old's scoring streak of six games (featuring 11 touchdowns) finally came to end after QB Matthew Stafford spread the wealth to Los Angeles' other receiving options Sunday. Co-starter Puka Nacua shined with a 7-167-2 receiving line, leaving little work for Adams in the second half of the lopsided blowout. Adams will look to get back to his scoring ways when…read more

Cleared to play

Adams (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams never seemed in serious danger of missing the game and should be ready for his usual workload after logging a full practice Friday. He's seen at least five targets and 35 snaps in every appearance this season, scoring 14 TDs in 12 games along the way.

Expected to play

Adams (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday at Arizona, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Rams list Adams on their final injury report. His return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests Adams is on track to play. He played through hamstring, back and oblique injuries earlier this season, without ever missing a game or finishing with fewer than five targets or 35 snaps. He's also scored touchdowns in nine of 12 games, including each of the last six (with multiple TDs in four of those).

Limited in practice Thursday

Adams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: When coach Sean McVay announced Wednesday that Adams wouldn't practice to begin Week 14 prep, he added that the veteran wide receiver was among a group of banged-up Rams that are expected to be available Sunday at Arizona. Adams then told Nate Atkins of The Athletic on Thursday that his left hamstring issue happened early this past Sunday at Carolina, a contest in which he hauled in four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Adams has…read more

DNP due to hamstring issue

Coach Sean McVay said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, but he expects the veteran wide receiver to play Sunday in Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Analysis: This is a new health concern for Adams, who currently is on a six-game TD streak during which he has 11 end-zone visits. Outside of touchdowns, he's put together 26 catches (on 44 targets) for 293 yards in that stretch, so he's relatively dependent on the all-important category for his fantasy appeal at the moment. That aside, Adams will have a pair of chances this week to prove his health before the Rams potentially give him a designation ahead of the weekend.

Two more scores in Sunday's loss

Adams caught four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: Another week, another couple of red-zone TDs for the veteran wideout, who connected with Matthew Stafford for a four-yard score in the first quarter and a seven-yard strike in the second. Adams is up to a league-leading 14 touchdowns in 12 games in his first season with the Rams, the first time he's reached that mark since 2022, and his career high of 18 TDs from 2020 with the Packers is firmly in his sights. Adams will look to extend his current TD streak to six games in Week 14 against the…read more

Posts 27th multi-TD game of career

Adams finished with five receptions on eight targets for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 34-7 blowout win over Tampa Bay.

Analysis: Adams suffered a couple of uncharacteristic drops on Sunday Night Football, but fantasy managers can look past that fact after he converted a pair of successful touchdown grabs in the win. It was the 27th time over the course of the superstar's illustrious career that he has scored multiple touchdowns in a single game, good for seventh all-time among receivers in league history. The 32-year-old has now scored in five consecutive appearances, producing multiple trips to the end zone in three out…read more

Scores on lone Week 11 catch

Adams (oblique) caught one of eight targets for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: Adams suited up after getting banged up in the fourth quarter of the Rams' previous game, and he secured his league-leading 10th touchdown catch on a one-yard pass in the first quarter against the Seahawks. That was his only reception of the game as Matthew Stafford threw for just 130 yards. The veteran wide receiver's chemistry with Stafford in goal-line situations has been on full display during Adams' four-game, seven-touchdown streak. Adams will try to extend his scoring streak in Week 12…read more

Suiting up Sunday

Adams (oblique) is listed as active Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Analysis: Adams initially was diagnosed with a back injury when he departed last Sunday's win at San Francisco in the fourth quarter. Coach Sean McVay told Nate Atkins of The Athletic afterward that Adams instead was dealing with an oblique issue but could have returned if the game was in question. When McVay told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that Adams wouldn't practice Wednesday, he also said that he expected the veteran wide receiver to be available for Week 11 action. McVay relayed the same thing to…read more

Expected to play Sunday

Adams, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle due to an oblique injury, is likely to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The report seems to confirm Rams head coach Sean McVay's acknowledgement from Friday, when he relayed that he expected Adams to play. The veteran wideout missed practice Wednesday but was able to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting that his oblique issue isn't debilitating. If Adams does indeed participate in the big NFC West clash, he'll look to extend a three-game streak of getting into the end zone.

Deemed questionable, should play

Adams (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: Rams coach Sean Mcvay said Friday morning that Adams is expected to play. The 32-year-old wideout made an early exit from last Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco, with McVay saying afterward that Adams likely would've returned if the score had been closer. Adams then missed practice Wednesday before returning as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. It doesn't sound like the Rams expect a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable, should play

Adams (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, with Rams coach Sean McVay saying Friday that he expects the wideout to play, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: It's the type of matchup where Adams might give it a go in a borderline situation, but this sounds more like a case where he's ready to play and will only sit out if there's a late setback. He made an early exit from last Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco, with McVay saying afterward that Adam likely would've returned if the score had been closer. Adams then missed practice Wednesday before returning as a limited participant Thursday.

Limited in practice

Adams (oblique) was limited at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams made an early exit from this past Sunday's victory at San Francisco with a back injury that eventually was reclassified as an oblique issue. Despite Adams not practicing Wednesday, coach Sean McVay relayed to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that the Rams expect the 12th-year pro to play Sunday against the Seahawks. Adams thus has taken a step in the right direction to do so as of Thursday, but Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Week 11 action.

Back on field Thursday

Adams (oblique) was in pads and warming up before Thursday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Prior to Adams sitting out Wednesday's practice, coach Sean McVay told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that he expected the veteran wide receiver to play Sunday versus the Seahawks after he left this past Sunday's win at San Francisco early due to an oblique injury. A return to drills Thursday is a step in the right direction, but it remains to be seen if he'll be listed as limited or full on the Rams' second Week 11 practice report.

No practice Wednesday

Coach Sean McVay said Adams (oblique) won't practice Wednesday, but the Rams expect the veteran wide receiver to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams initially was diagnosed with a back injury after he pulled up while running a route in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win at San Francisco. Afterward, McVay clarified that Adams instead sustained an oblique issue but could have returned if the game had been in question, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Adams may need to mix into drills at some point Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Week 11 action.

Coach optimistic about oblique

Adams suffered an oblique injury during Sunday's 42-26 win over the 49ers, but he would probably have returned if the score was closer, coach Sean McVay said after the game, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams' status will bear monitoring ahead of Week 11 against the Seahawks, but McVay sounded optimistic regarding Adams' injury after the game. Prior to exiting in the fourth quarter, Adams caught six of eight targets for 77 yards and scored his ninth touchdown of the season.

Suffers back injury in Week 10

Adams suffered a back injury during Sunday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Adams pulled up while running a route early in the fourth quarter and now is questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, he'll finish Week 10 action with six catches (on eight targets) for 77 yards and one touchdown, extending his TD streak to three straight contests in the process. The Rams will roll with Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith at wide receiver in the short term.

Another multi-touchdown effort

Adams recorded five receptions on seven targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

Analysis: Adams made the most of his five receptions, turning in two catches of at least 20 yards while also finding the end zone twice. This marked his second consecutive game with multiple touchdowns and only the third time this season he's reached at least 60 receiving yards. While Adams has been reliant on finding the end zone to maintain his fantasy value, the Rams remain one of the more efficient passing offenses in the league with heavily concentrated targets. He could also be in for additional…read more

Cashes in three TDs sans Nacua

Adams corralled five of eight targets for 35 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Adams had an efficient day at the office Sunday, converting over half of his receptions into touchdowns for the fans in London. The veteran superstar took full advantage of Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence, matching the three touchdowns Adams posted over his first six starts with Los Angeles in one fell swoop. The 32-year-old Adams has provided fantasy managers with a 31-431-6 receiving line in what is shaping up to be a renaissance season in 2025. With the Rams entering a bye in Week 8, there is a…read more

Team's top WR for Week 7

Adams is set to lead the Rams' receiving corps Sunday against the Jaguars, as coach Sean McVay said Friday that Puka Nacua (ankle) will be out, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Nacua's 65 targets are the most in the NFL, so there will be significant additional volume from Matthew Stafford to go around in Nacua's absence. Adams already has seen heavy volume in his first season with the Rams, catching 26 of 55 targets for 396 yards and three touchdowns through six games. Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell also could step into larger roles this weekend in London.

Struggles in win

Adams recorded four receptions on nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Ravens.

Analysis: Adams served as the Rams' top pass-catcher for most of the game with Puka Nacua (ankle) briefly sidelined and then playing at less than full strength for most of the game. Adams led the team with nine targets, but he converted that into his lowest yardage total of the season. Touchdowns have masked his underwhelming stat lines through the first seven games of the season, as Adams has now been held under 60 receiving yards in four of six contests.

Team-high yardage total in OT loss

Adams brought in five of 11 targets for 88 yards in the Rams' 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Analysis: Adams edged Puka Nacua by three for the team lead in receiving yards, and he was one target behind his teammate for the top spot in that category as well. Adams' yardage and target tallies were also his best since Week 2 and second highest of the campaign in both cases. Nacua remains the clear alpha option in the Rams' air attack, but Adams' role as the No. 2 receiver is just as clearly delineated heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Extends TD streak to three games

Adams (hamstring) finished with four receptions on six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

Analysis: Adams got in a limited practice Friday and overcame a questionable tag from a hamstring injury in order to suit up for Sunday's tilt, and the veteran superstar cashed in his third receiving touchdown in as many weeks in the waning moments of the first half. Puka Nacua (13-170-1) stole the show offensively, but Adams has been producing strong numbers operating as the No. 2 option for the Rams this season. The 32-year-old will carry a 17-269-3 receiving line into Thursday's home matchup against…read more

Active against Colts

Adams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The veteran wideout was able to get in a limited practice Friday after sitting out the first two sessions of the week, and Adams has now validated head coach Sean McVay's optimism that he'd be able to suit up and fill his usual No. 2 role against Indianapolis. Adams thus has far proven an ideal complementary fit in the Rams' air attack alongside No. 1 receiver Puka Nacua, posting a 13-213-2 line on 29 targets through his first three contests.

Still on track for Week 4

Adams (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is set to play Sunday against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Rams head coach Sean McVay said prior to Friday's practice that Adams was trending toward playing Sunday despite taking a questionable tag into the weekend, and the wideout's outlook seemingly hasn't changed coming out of the team's final Week 4 practice session. Fowler notes, however, that the Rams intend to be "smart" with Adams, so while the veteran receiver isn't expected to face major restrictions, he could be subject to a slight reduction in his snap count. Through his first three games…read more

Questionable, expected to play

Adams (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, but Rams head coach Sean McVay expects the wideout to play, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Analysis: Adams' outlook could change after practice, but McVay is usually straightforward when it comes to injury updates. The veteran wideout didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, after handling his usual workload in a Week 3 loss to the Eagles.

Officially no practice Thursday

Adams (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Analysis: Adams hasn't practiced so far during Week 4 prep due to what coach Sean McVay has termed a sore hamstring, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. McVay also isn't concerned about Adams' availability for Sunday's game against the Colts, but ultimately Friday's injury report will unveil if the wide receiver has a designation entering the weekend.

Not seen at practice

Adams (hamstring) wasn't present for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Coach Sean McVay told Barshop on Wednesday that Adams was tending to a sore hamstring and wouldn't practice, and his absence appears to have extended into Thursday. Still, McVay wasn't worried about the veteran wide receiver's availability for Sunday's contest against the Colts. Adams' activity level, or lack thereof, will become known once the Rams post their second Week 4 injury report.

Dealing with sore hamstring

Coach Sean McVay said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to a sore hamstring, but he doesn't believe the wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams has been targeted early and often to start his stint with the Rams, racking up 29 targets through three games. Overall, he's hauled in 13 of them for 213 yards and two touchdowns. Now that he's tending to a health concern, though, Adams' stats bears watching this week to see if he's able to emerge without a designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Scores long touchdown

Adams recorded three receptions on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: Adams beat Cooper DeJean deep down the left sideline late in the first quarter for a 44-yard touchdown. That accounted for the majority of Adams' production on the day, as Puka Nacua overshadowed him. While Nacua's role in the offense is likely to take some of the upside away from Adams, the latter has at least eight targets in all three of his games with the Rams.

Leads Rams receivers

Adams recorded six receptions on 13 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 33-19 win over the Titans.

Analysis: Adams led the Rams' pass catchers in targets and receiving yards, thanks in large part to long catches of 33 and 26 yards. He also recorded his first touchdown as a Ram on a 16-yard connection in the back corner of the end zone midway through the fourth quarter. Adams showed strong rapport with Matthew Stafford, which should bode well for his production moving forward, though he and the Rams will face a tough matchup against the Eagles in Week 3.

Solid debut with new club

Adams had four receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Texans.

Analysis: Adams finished second in targets, receptions and receiving yards in a successful debut for the Rams after inking a two-year, $46 million deal this past offseason. The 32-year-old's poor catch rate (50 percent) could be attributed to lack of preseason reps with Matthew Stafford while the QB dealt with an ailing back. Adams' pursuit of a sixth straight 1,000-yard receiving season continues in a road tilt against the Titans next Sunday.

Healthy and happy in LA

Adams said Tuesday that he feels rejuvenated with the Rams, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Analysis: Adams had a nice run for fantasy purposes with the Jets last season, but he caught just 58.8 percent of his targets in 11 games, relying on massive volume (114 targets) and touchdowns (seven) rather than per-target efficiency. That was also the case for most of his time in Las Vegas, where he caught 100 of 180 targets (55.6 percent) in 2022 and 103 of 175 targets (58.9 percent) in 2024. He'll likely have a higher catch rate but less target volume after joining the Rams on a two-year contract,…read more

Switches conferences in huge deal

Adams agreed to a two-year, $46 million deal with the Rams on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Adams' deal includes $26 million in guaranteed salary, per Rapoport, which may make it easy for the Rams to move on from him after the 2025 season if they so choose. The 32-year-old was released by the Jets in a salary-shedding move last Tuesday and was seen as perhaps the top available wide receiver ahead of the free-agent negotiating window starting Monday. Adams recorded 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns over 14 regular-season games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets…read more

Time in New York ends

The Jets released Adams on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Adams had no guaranteed money remaining on his contract, and the decision to release the veteran wideout saves the Jets $29.9M in salary-cap space. The 32-year-old wideout is coming off a 2024 season in which he recorded 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns over 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11). Adams will head into free agency as one of the top available options at his position.

Available for trade

The Jets are open to trading Adams before the start of the new league year on March 12, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Rapoport adds that the Jets are expected to release Adams if they cannot arrange a trade elsewhere, and, if he's let go, he could follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a new team in free agency. New York officially informed Rodgers on Feb. 13 that the team would not bring him back after his second season with the team. Adams reunited with the quarterback, who was his longtime teammate during their time in Green Bay, when the wideout was traded from the Raiders to the Jets in October. The…read more

Fifth straight 1,000-yard season

Adams caught six of 12 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11).

Analysis: Adams caught the third of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes in what could be both players' final game with the Jets. The questions about whether Rodgers will return to the NFL at all don't apply to Adams, and with five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the 32-year-old wideout is primed to remain a fantasy force wherever he plays in 2025. Adams has a potential out in his contract this offseason, which the Jets could opt to utilize rather than committing to the two years…read more

Limited by hip in loss

Adams (hip) caught five of eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: Adams suited up after posting just one limited practice during the week but got off to a slow start, with only one catch for nine yards in the first half. He came alive on the first possession of the third quarter, notching two catches for 32 yards in addition to drawing a pass interference penalty, but Adams faded back into obscurity after that short burst of production. Adams was held to fewer than 11 targets for only the second time in his last eight games, and his involvement could be lower…read more

Active versus Bills

Adams (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Analysis: Adams was listed as a non-participant on New York's practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, then worked in a limited capacity Friday before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With Adams available Sunday, the talented wideout is poised to remain a key Week 17 target for QB Aaron Rodgers in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks. Over his last four outings, Adams has averaged a fantasy-friendly 7.5 catches on 12 targets for 110.3 yards, while notching five TDs in that…read more

Likely to suit up Sunday

Adams, who is questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo due to a hip injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reported Friday that the Jets were optimistic about Adams being able to play Sunday, and the star wideout still looks to be trending toward suiting up against the Bills. Adams practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but there's no indication he'll have any restrictions if he suits up as expected Sunday. Schefter notes that Adams "would like to" be on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers' 500th touchdown pass -- the veteran quarterback would reach…read more

Questionable but optimistic

Adams (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills but said Friday that he's optimistic about his chances of suiting up, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. If Adams doesn't face any limitations Sunday, he's likely to see another massive workload after drawing at least 11 targets in six of his last seven outings.

Back at practice

Adams (hip) returned to practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams was listed as a non-participant on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout looked good during Friday's session, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. The Jets' upcoming injury report will reveal both Adams' participation level and his designation (if any) for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Doesn't practice Thursday

Adams (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams, who was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, was spotted off to the side during Thursday's session, per Cimini, so what the wideout is able to Friday will loom large with regard to his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. Unless Adams upgrades to full participation to close the week, however, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.

Spotted at practice Thursday

Adams (hip) was present for practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, per Cimini, so his presence for Thursday's session bodes well for his status for Sunday's game against the Bills. The Jets' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's official participation level.

Managing hip issue in Week 17

Adams was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a hip injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Though the Jets didn't practice Wednesday, Adams' presence on the team's initial Week 17 injury report makes his status worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Bills approaches. In this past weekend's 19-9 loss to the Rams, Adams logged a 97 percent snap share and caught seven of his 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown.

Leading receiver in Week 16 loss

Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Coming off a 198-yard, two-touchdown second half in Week 15 against the Jaguars, Adams kept rolling with an 11-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. Adams and the entire Jets offense cooled off after that at freezing MetLife Stadium, but the star wide receiver led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards once again. With the hamstring injury that bothered him at the end of his Raiders tenure now a distant memory, Adams should remain a quality fantasy option for a Week 17 road game…read more

Catches 100th TD in 198-yard game

Adams caught nine of 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Analysis: Adams was blanked on two first-half targets as Aaron Rodgers completed only three passes before halftime, but the veteran wideout secured a 12-yard reception on the first play of the second half and took over from there. Adams made a 43-yard catch on New York's second possession of the third quarter and added a one-yard touchdown catch three plays later after having a touchdown ruling reversed on a red-zone reception in between. That touchdown reception was the 100th of Adams' career and gave…read more

Piles up 109 yards, TD in Week 14

Adams caught nine of 11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

Analysis: After a quiet start, Adams came alive with four catches for 54 yards -- including a 34-yard reception -- on the Jets' final drive of the first half, which resulted in a go-ahead field goal. Adams kept rolling to begin the second half, catching a three-yard touchdown pass to restore the lead. Miami ultimately came back to tie the game in the final seconds of regulation and won it in overtime without giving the Jets a chance to possess the ball, but Adams still managed to post his highest yardage…read more

Leading receiver in latest loss

Adams caught five of 11 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis: Adams opened the scoring with his second touchdown in six games with the Jets, finding the end zone from eight yards out. He just missed adding a chunk gain on a diving fourth-down effort in the second quarter, but Adams still finished the first half with game-high totals of 61 receiving yards and eight targets. Adams made no mistake on fourth down in the fourth quarter, gaining five yards on his only catch of the second half to pick up fourth-and-2 on the Jets' final possession, but that drive…read more

Six catches in Week 11 loss

Adams (illness/wrist) caught six of seven targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

Analysis: Adams bounced back to lead the Jets in receiving yards after averaging an awful 2.4 yards per target in the previous game, but this still wasn't all that strong of a performance by the star wide receiver's lofty standards. Breece Hall scored two total touchdowns in the loss, while Garrett Wilson was limited to 18 receiving yards on eight targets. The Jets have been unable to get all three of those prominent playmakers going simultaneously, which has contributed to the team's dreadful 3-8 start…read more

Active versus Colts

Adams (illness/wrist) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Analysis: Adams -- who had been listed as questionable for the contest -- missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday but logged a full session to close the week, with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noting Friday he expected the wideout to play Sunday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN. With his Week 11 availability confirmed, Adams is in line to continue to function as a key pass catcher for QB Aaron Rodgers opposite Garrett Wilson (who is averaging 10 targets a game), an arrangement that so far has resulted in…read more

Remains on track to play

Adams (illness/wrist), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, remains in line to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich previously relayed after Friday's practice that Adams was expected to play Sunday, so Rapoport's report adds to wideout's positive outlook. However, fantasy managers planning on deploying Adams in Week 11 lineups will still want to confirm approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff that the star receiver is in fact active for the contest.

Questionable but expected to play

Adams (illness/wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging a full practice Friday.

Analysis: Coach Jeff Ulbrich relayed earlier Friday that Adams is expected to play Sunday, and Adams' ensuing participation in practice is another positive indicator. Nonetheless, Adams' fantasy managers should check in approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff for confirmation on the star wide receiver's status.

Expected to play Sunday

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich relayed Friday that Adams (illness/wrist) is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams returned to practice Friday after having missed back-to-back sessions, and per Ulbrich the wideout appears to be on track to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest. The Jets' upcoming injury report is slated clarify whether or not Adams carries a Week 11 injury designation, however.

Back at practice

Adams (illness/wrist) was present for practice Friday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Analysis: Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to Friday's session bodes well for his availability for Sunday's contest against the Colts. The Jets' upcoming injury report will relay whether the wideout carries a Week 11 injury designation or is fully cleared to face Indianapolis this weekend.

Still not practicing

Adams (illness/wrist) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams has now missed two straight practices with an illness and sore wrist, so what the wideout is able to do at Friday's session will likely be the determining factor in whether he carries a designation into Sunday's game against the Colts. Through his first four games with the Jets since being acquired by the Raiders, Adams is averaging five catches and 51.5 receiving yards per contest.

Misses practice due to illness, wrist

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to an illness and a sore wrist, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Analysis: Ulbrich didn't suggest that either issue was especially serious, but Adams will still likely need to practice in some fashion by Friday for the Jets to feel good about his chances of playing Sunday against the Colts. Since being acquired from the Raiders on Oct. 15, Adams has gotten off to a slow start to his tenure with the Jets. Through four games, Adams has produced a 20-206-1 receiving line on 39 targets, with his 5.3 yards per target representing a steep decline from his career-long…read more

Little production off 13 targets

Adams finished with six receptions (13 targets) for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Arizona was dead set on stopping the Aaron Rodgers to Adams connection Sunday, and the longtime star duo did not have an answer. The 31-year-old Adams has turned in three duds and one diamond over four games since being traded to the Jets. That said, it would be hard to bench a player of Adams' caliber against the Colts next Sunday before the team goes on its bye in Week 12.

Best game yet with new team

Adams brought in seven of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.

Analysis: Adams was able to post team-best receiving yardage and target totals despite missing significant second-half time due to a concussion check. The star veteran wideout made a major splash upon his return to the game as well, recording a 37-yard touchdown grab with just under three minutes remaining to extend the Jets' lead to 21-10 and essentially seal the much-needed victory. Adams' totals were also his best yet since arriving in New York, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10…read more

Returns to game

Adams cleared concussion protocol and has returned to Thursday's game against the Texans, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Analysis: Adams exited late in the third quarter and was checked for a concussion in the locker room. He missed nearly a full quarter but will be back in action for the final four minutes of regulation.

In locker room

Adams exited Thursday's game against the Texans to be evaluated for a concussion, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Adams hauled in a 17-yard pass to convert on a fourth-down attempt late in the third quarter, though he was hit low and landed hard on the turf. He left the contest and was briefly evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. The Jets confirmed that he is undergoing an evaluation for a concussion, though he does not have an official injury designation.

Slow start to Jets tenure

Adams caught four of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Adams' modest showing included 16 meaningless yards on the game's final play, which ran out the clock before the Jets could get to the line for a spike. He finished second to Garrett Wilson (five catches on eight targets for 113 yards) in catches, targets and receiving yards. Adams has just 84 receiving yards through two games with the Jets, and he won't have much additional time to familiarize himself with his new surroundings before the trade acquisition's MetLife Stadium home debut Thursday…read more

Just 30 yards in Jets debut

Adams (hamstring) caught three of nine targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: Adams was targeted on the Jets' first play, but it fell incomplete, foreshadowing an underwhelming night in Adams' reunion with Aaron Rodgers. While the Jets insisted that Adams had a strong grasp of the playbook and gave him plenty of playing time, the trade acquisition will undoubtedly be sharper as he gains familiarity with his new team and gets further removed from the hamstring injury that had kept Adams out since Week 3. Adams will look to bounce back from this disappointing debut in Week…read more

Set for full workload in debut

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that he expects Adams (hamstring) to have a full workload Sunday against the Steelers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday after being acquired via trade from the Raiders on Tuesday. The star receiver isn't expected to have any limitations in his Jets debut, which will mark his first action since Week 3. Adams' lack of injury designation is a relief for his fantasy managers, who otherwise would have had a tricky decision on their hands because the Jets play in the third-to-last game of Week 7 on Sunday night.

Fully participating in walk-through

Adams (hamstring) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Analysis: Adams last played Week 3 before the Raiders traded him to the Jets on Tuesday. He was able to pass a physical Tuesday before the trade became official, and his participation in Wednesday's session -- albeit a walk-through -- has the wideout trending toward playing Sunday against the Steelers, which interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich all but confirmed earlier Wednesday. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his hamstring as the week progresses, Adams should head into the weekend without an…read more

Planning to make team debut Sunday

Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: After he passed a physical Tuesday, Adams officially joined the Jets, who acquired the six-time Pro Bowl wideout from the Raiders in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick. He had missed the Raiders' last three games with a hamstring injury, but if he's able to resume practicing the Jets likely won't hesitate to include him in the game plan for Sunday. The addition of Adams provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a familiar option in the passing game -- the two spent eight…read more

Trade to New York official

The Jets acquired Adams (hamstring) from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick.

Analysis: The two teams came to terms on the trade earlier Tuesday, but the deal wasn't officially announced until the star wideout arrived in New York and passed a physical. The Jets evidently aren't too concerned about the hamstring injury that kept Adams sidelined for the Raiders' last three games, and the team believes he will be ready to make his debut this Sunday in Pittsburgh, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv. Adams will benefit from an upgrade in quarterback play, going from Gardner Minshew and Aidan…read more

Set to join Jets

The Jets will acquire Adams (hamstring) from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional third-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets will cover the balance of the approximately $84 million in salary remaining on the wideout's contract, which runs through the 2026 season. Schefter adds that the third-round pick the Raiders will receive in return can become a second-round pick if Adams is a first- or second-team All-Pro selection or if he's on the active roster for the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl. In New York, Adams will reunite with Aaron Rodgers, with whom he spent the…read more

May not be moved after all

Adams (hamstring) could remain with the Raiders this season, despite recent trade discussions involving the star wideout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Schefter describes Adams' situation as "fluid and unpredictable" while pointing out that the wideout's trade outlook "seems to change weekly." Among the factors that may play into the likelihood of Adams being traded is his current hamstring injury, which will keep him out of action for a third straight game Sunday against the Steelers, as well as Las Vegas' reported asking price of at least a second-draft pick. Additionally, Las Vegas has expressed a reluctance to pay any of the $72.5 million…read more

Not playing Sunday

Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams is in the midst of his recovery from a hamstring injury, which will force a third straight absence this weekend. Along the way, he made a trade request to the Raiders, who seem to be willing to move on from the 11-year pro. Interested parties are waiting on Adams to get back to full health before committing resources (likely draft capital) for the veteran wide receiver, so his next chance for game action, wherever that may be, will occur Week 7, at the earliest.

Unlikely to play Week 6

Adams (hamstring) isn't expected to play for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Though Adams is believed to be nearing full health as he recovers from a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the Raiders' last two contests, he's not trending toward being available this weekend. Adams' expected absence for Week 6 may have less to do with the hamstring injury at this point than it does his desire to be traded, and the Raiders could honor that request and hold the wideout out of action until a deal is reached. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that trade discussions…read more

Nearing full health

Adams (hamstring) is nearing full health and is expected to be ready to play in time for Week 6, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis: Where Adams will be playing in Week 6 is the big question, as trade chatter has been heating up regarding the veteran wideout. Adams is missing his second straight game Sunday against Denver, but it sounds like he's going to be ready to rock next week. Through three games, Adams has an 18-209-1 receiving line and is still a bona fide No. 1 receiver at 31 years old.

Trade talks likely to intensify

Adams (hamstring) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, and the Raiders are likely to ramp up trade discussions pertaining to the wide receiver while additional teams consider submitting offers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Adams informed Las Vegas early this week that he would like to be traded, with the Jets and Saints reportedly his preferred organizations. The star wideout's current hamstring injury will keep him out of a second straight game Sunday and could delay the urgency of getting a deal done, but it doesn't seem likely to stand in the way of an eventual trade. Adams has said he is open to playing for several different teams, making a deal more likely to materialize.

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.

Analysis: Adams wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so his addition to it a day later makes his status worth monitoring in advance of Sunday's game against the Browns. Friday's final report will reveal whether the Raiders' top WR heads into the weekend with a designation.

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

Back with teammates

Adams rejoined his teammates Sunday after the recent birth of his son, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams missed the last five practices before he was absent from Saturday's preseason loss at Minnesota, according to coach Antonio Pierce. 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. Pierce is expected to make a call between veteran Gardner Minshew and second-year pro Aidan O'Connell this weekend, but even with five…read more

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. While his future with the Raiders remains uncertain and the team has been eliminated from the…read more

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.

Vintage performance in win

Adams brought in eight of 12 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.

Analysis: Adams led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets across the board in the completely unexpected offensive breakout from a team that had been shut out just four days earlier. 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' yardage total also qualified as his second highest of the…read more

Suits up Thursday

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.

Expected to go Thursday

Adams (illness) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Thursday against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Adams is carrying an injury designation into the Week 15 contest after an illness prevented him from participating in Wednesday's walk-through session, but whatever ailment the receiver is battling doesn't seem to be anything that will keep him off the field Thursday. Official confirmation on Adams' availability will arrive approximately 90 minutes before the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, when Las Vegas will release its inactive list. Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce has been non-committal…read more

Feeling ill, deemed questionable

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.

Steady production with rookie QB

Adams had five receptions on seven targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Kansas City.

Analysis: Adams finished a close second in receiving for Las Vegas on Sunday behind fellow starter Jakobi Meyers (6-79-1), with both receivers finishing in a tie for the team lead with seven targets apiece. Rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell has shown good rapport with Adams since taking over as the Raiders' starter back in Week 9, producing averages of 5.5 catches and 68.8 receiving yards for the veteran superstar since the switch was made under center. Adams will get to rest during Las Vegas' upcoming…read more

Paces pass catchers in loss

Adams secured seven of 13 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 20-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Analysis: Adams led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the contest, and he added his fourth touchdown of the campaign and first since Week 3 on a 46-yard grab on the final play of the first quarter. Adams has encouragingly been more involved since the switch to Antonio Pierce and Aidan O'Connell at head coach and quarterback, respectively, posting a 17-202-1 line on 33 targets in that three-game span. Adams will have a chance to keep building momentum in a Week 12 home showdown…read more

Commands 13 targets on SNF

Adams converted 13 targets into six receptions for 86 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Adams finally returned to form after tallying just five receptions for 45 yards over his previous two starts. 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. Las Vegas' quarterback situation isn't ideal for a receiver of Adams' talent level, but he should continue receiving healthy target totals while developing chemistry with…read more

Paltry results with new QB

Adams had four receptions on seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Adams' recent woes in fantasy continued Sunday with another pedestrian receiving line, this time with new starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell under center. The rookie signal-caller performed adequately as the Raiders picked up the win in interim head coach Antonio Pierce's first game taking over for Josh McDaniels. Adams was left out of the party despite leading the team in targets, having to deal with double and even triple teams on occasion Sunday. The star receiver is averaging just 3.6…read more

One catch on seven targets

Adams caught one of seven targets for 11 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

Analysis: Adams was held without a catch in the first half as Jimmy Garoppolo mustered only 31 first-half passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The star receiver finally got into the box score with an 11-yard catch on the first play of the second half, but that was his only reception, even though Adams was the only Raider with more than four targets in this one. Garoppolo finished with just 126 yards and missed an open Adams a few times, including on a deep ball in the fourth…read more

Seven grabs in Sunday's loss

Adams caught seven of 12 targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.

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.

Practices fully Thursday

Adams (shoulder) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Analysis: Adams, who has been managing a shoulder issue of late, was limited Wednesday, but his return to all activity one day later sets the stage for the Raiders' top wideout to start Sunday against the Bears alongside Jakobi Meyers. Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, Adams acknowledged some frustration Wednesday about having seen a combined nine targets over his last two games, but chances are the Raiders will look to get him the ball more in the coming weeks. However, this weekend, Adams figures to be…read more

Limited practice Wednesday

Adams (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Adams has been managing a shoulder issue over the last couple of weeks, but he approached this past Sunday's win over the Patriots without an injury designation and took on a 91 percent snap share in the contest. With no reported setbacks, Adams' listed limitations Wednesday were most likely maintenance-related, and the expectation is that he'll be available this weekend against the Bears.

Focus of defense Sunday

Adams finished with two receptions on five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Adams suffered the fate many top wideouts have before him against Patriots defenses coached under Bill Belichick, absorbing the majority of the opponent's coverage and finishing with a poor fantasy line. The star wideout also absorbed a hard hit from safety Jabrill Peppers on a play that resulted in an interception in the first half, but he was able to stay in the game after being examined by the medical staff, as reported by Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Adams entered the contest nursing a…read more

No injury tag for Week 6

Adams (shoulder) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Listed as questionable ahead of this past Monday's game against Green Bay, Adams ultimately suited up in the Raiders' 17-13 win, playing 94 percent of the snaps on offense while finishing with four catches for 45 yards on four targets. Despite the quicker turnaround for the Week 6 game, Adams won't carry an injury designation into the contest after he apparently came out of Monday's win no worse for the wear. After a subpar showing against Green Bay, Adams could bounce back versus a depleted…read more

Listed as limited Thursday

Adams (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Analysis: The Raiders held a walkthough Thursday, but Adams' upgrade from non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate is nonetheless a positive sign regarding the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. That said, Adams presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend with an injury designation.

Sits out first Week 6 practice

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. He drew only four targets against his former team Monday, though he caught all four (for 45 yards) and played 94 percent of the available snaps.

Records 45 receiving yards Monday

Adams (shoulder) hauled in all four of his targets for 45 yards in Monday's 17-13 win over the Packers.

Analysis: Adams carried a questionable tag through the weekend with a banged-up shoulder, creating a lineup dilemma for fantasy managers heading into Week 5. 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. Adams' four targets were well below his season average of 12.5 per game, and he was sitting at one reception for most of the contest before making three crucial catches on…read more

Suits up Monday

Adams (shoulder) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Packers.

Analysis: After working through a shoulder injury during a Week 4 loss to the Chargers in which he caught eight of his 13 targets for 75 yards, Adams missed practice this past Thursday and Friday before returning to a limited session Saturday and drawing an official designation of questionable for Monday's contest. 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

Returns to Sunday's contest

Adams, who exited Sunday's game against the Chargers with a shoulder injury, was subsequently able to return to action, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Prior to his exit, Adams didn't catch his lone target, but it looks like the Raiders' top wideout will now have chance to get back in gear during the second half of Sunday's tilt.

Injures shoulder Sunday

Adams was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a shoulder injury.

Analysis: Prior to his exit, Adams didn't record a catch in the contest. In his absence, Jakobi Meyers, Hunter Renfrow, Tre Tucker and DeAndre Carter are available to handle the Raiders' Week 4 WR duties.

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. The star wideout could be…read more

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.

May have concussion

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. The same applies to fellow WR Jakobi Meyers, who was unavailable versus Buffalo due to a concussion.

Exits Sunday's game

Adams headed to the locker during Sunday's game against the Bills due to an unspecified issue, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Per Tashan Reed of The Athletic, it appeared as though Adams took a hit to his head late in the contest. We'll look for added context regarding Adams' exit via the team, but prior to his departure the wideout had recorded six catches on eight targets for 84 yards and a TD.

Returns to full practice

Adams (foot) practiced fully Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After missing Wednesday's practice, Adams' return to a full session Thursday sets the stage for him to headline the Raiders' receiving corps Sunday against the Bills. In the team's Week 1 win over the Broncos, Adams caught six of his nine targets for 66 yards while starting alongside Jakobi Meyers, who hasn't practiced this week due to a concussion.

Misses practice with foot issue

Adams was held out of Wednesday's practice with a foot injury.

Analysis: Adams didn't appear to be affected by an injury while running a route on each of the Raiders' passing plays in a 17-16 win over Denver this past Sunday. 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. The Raiders may need Adams even more than usual, if that's possible, considering Jakobi Meyers is in the concussion…read more

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.

Back at practice

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.

Injury reportedly minor

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.

Exits Friday's practice

Adams headed to the locker room during Friday's practice after sustaining what appeared to be a right leg injury, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Analysis: Bonsignore noted that Adams was limping slightly after absorbing a hit during 11-on-11 drills. Until further information is available, consider the Raiders' top wideout day-to-day ahead of Sunday's preseason opener against the 49ers.

Continues to lead WR corps

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. While the 30-year-old will undoubtedly continue to handle plenty of volume in 2023, and thus maintain a high level of fantasy utility, Adams will no longer be catching passes from Derek Carr. Instead, he's slated to work with…read more

Closes season with 73 yards

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.

Returns to full practice

Adams (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: The return to full practice confirms Adams will be ready to go Saturday against the Chiefs, hoping to continue his success with quarterback Jarrett Stidham (elbow), who also upgraded to full participation Saturday. The 30-year-old wideout caught seven of 11 targets for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the 49ers, benefiting from a shockingly effective performance by Stidham.

Dealing with illness

Adams was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate due to an illness, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams is coming off a huge performance this past Sunday against the 49ers in which he put up seven catches (on 11 targets) for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Now with an illness in tow, he may operate with a cap on his reps both Wednesday and Thursday to ensure he's as healthy as possible ahead of Saturday's scheduled 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

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. Since going off for 120-plus yards four times in five contests between Weeks 9 and 13, he's combined for a 9-114-0 line on 25 targets over the last three. Adams will have…read more

Shut down by Pats

Adams caught four of nine targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: The New England secondary made sure Adams wasn't going to beat them, and he got held to his lowest yardage total since Week 8. However, he averaged 7.3 catches for 122.5 yards and 1.2 TDs in the six games between those duds, a level Adams will aim to return to in Week 16 against the Steelers.

Production takes hit in loss

Adams secured three of seven targets for 71 yards in the Raiders' 17-16 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

Analysis: Adams led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets as customary, but on a night when Derek Carr threw for only 137 yards, that didn't add up to very meaningful production. 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. Adams does have over 70 receiving yards in six…read more

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. Even if the team gets Hunter Renfrow (oblique) or Darren…read more

Leading receiver against Seattle

Adams caught seven of 11 targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

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.

Scores twice in victory

Adams recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 141 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos.

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.

Suits up Sunday

Adams (abdomen) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Analysis: The Raiders' top pass catcher, who was limited at practice this past week, approached the contest officially listed as questionable, but Adams will be available Sunday. In the absence of any setbacks, the wideout should maintain a high-volume role in Las Vegas' passing game, which will be without the services slot man Hunter Renfrow (hamstring/ribs) and top tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), with both currently on IR.

Expected to play

Adams (abdomen), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Denver, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Adams was able to practice from Wednesday through Friday, though he was only a limited participant on all three occasions. Though Rapoport's report suggests Adams is on track to suit up this weekend, fantasy managers will still want to confirm his status when Las Vegas releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Status up in air for Sunday

Adams (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Denver, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After managing three consecutive limited sessions this week as he tends to an abdominal injury, Adams will enter the weekend with a designation for the second time as a member of the Raiders. His Week 11 matchup doesn't kick off until 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes prior. With that knowledge, it may be tough to pivot to another option if Adams is inactive, but if he's available, he'll be looking to replicate the 9-101-0 performance that he put up…read more

Limited practice Thursday

Adams (abdomen) remained limited at practice Thursday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Adams also was limited Wednesday, so he'll likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos. If available, Adams should retain a high volume role in the Raiders' Week 11 passing game, which will continue to operate without slot man Hunter Renfrow (hamstring/ribs) and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), who both are on IR.

Limited reps in practice

Adams was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an abdomen injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: In this past Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts, Adams was on the field for 65 of the Raiders' 70 snaps on offense and finished with nine catches on 14 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown. While Adams' appearance on Wednesday's injury report makes his status worth monitoring, so far there's been nothing to suggest that his availability for this weekend's game against the Broncos is in danger.

Tops century mark again

Adams caught nine of 14 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

Analysis: For the fifth time this season Adams hauled in over 100 yards, and for the sixth time in nine games he found his way into the end zone, but once again his impressive production didn't help the Raiders pull out a win. The former Packer is on pace for his fourth career season with 100-plus catches and over 1,300 receiving yards, and his sixth campaign with double-digit TDs, heading into a Week 11 clash with an elite Broncos secondary he beat for a 9-101-0 line on 13 targets in their first meeting…read more

Target share could increase

Adams will be a candidate to see more work out of the slot in the weeks to come with the Raiders placing Hunter Renfrow (oblique) on injured reserve Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams has already earned a massive 31 percent of the Raiders' targets this season, but his looks in the passing offense could climb even further while Renfrow and top tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) are sidelined for at least the next four games with both players headed for injured reserve. Foster Moreau will absorb the majority of Waller's snaps and targets, but the Raiders are left with an unimpressive collection of depth wideouts in Mack Hollins, Keelan Cole and DJ Turner to pick up work…read more

Peppered with 17 targets

Adams recorded 10 receptions on 17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Analysis: Adams got to off a fast start by tallying each of the Raiders' first two touchdowns from 25 and 38 yards, respectively. He appeared to be in for an even bigger performance but managed only one reception for zero yards in the second half as Las Vegas' offense completely stalled in the final two quarters. Despite the slow end to the performance, Adams was targeted on 17 of Derek Carr's 36 pass attempts and no other receiver on the team commanded more than five targets. Adams has now topped 100…read more

Submits full practice

Adams (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams' ability to take every rep Thursday confirms that he was likely limited for maintenance purposes in the Raiders' first Week 9 session Wednesday. After managing just one limited practice a week ago while he contended with flu-like symptoms, Adams suited up for Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints but struggled mightily, reeling in just one of five targets for three yards. With the illness further in the rear-view mirror, Adams could be in line for a bounce-back performance this weekend in…read more

Limited with illness

Adams (illness) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

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. He caught only one pass for three yards in the contest, snapping a streak of 81 games with multiple receptions. Adams should bounce back this weekend in Jacksonville, though there will still be a degree of concern if he remains limited in practice or misses a session Thursday and/or Friday.

Totals two yards

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.

Analysis: Adams was completely neutralized by New Orleans' secondary, resulting in his worst performance of the season. In fact, Adams' mere three receiving yards marked the second-lowest total of his decorated nine-year career. Following such an uncharacteristic outing, Adams at least has a good chance to rebound while facing the Jaguars in Week 9.

Suits up Sunday

Adams (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: After missing two straight days of practice due to an illness, Adams returned to a limited session Friday, and he'll be available Sunday versus New Orleans. In the process, the Raiders' top wideout should continue to see his share of targets from QB Derek Carr in Week 8. To date, Adams has recorded a fantasy-friendly 37 catches (on 63 targets) for 509 yards and five TDs through six contests.

Expected to play Sunday

Adams, who is listed as questionable due to an illness, is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Adams missed the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a flu-like illness but returned as a limited participant Friday and continues to trend in the right direction Saturday. Regardless, Fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm the star wideout's availability prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable after limited practice

Adams (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after returning to a limited practice Friday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Adams missed two straight days of practice due to an illness, but the wideout's return to the field Friday has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Fortunately for those relying on Adams in Week 8 fantasy lineups, the Raiders kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his playing status will be confirmed prior to the first wave of NFL kickoffs this weekend.

Back at practice

Adams (illness) returned to practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to the field Friday bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Saints. The Raiders' final Week 8 injury report is destined to reveal whether the wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared to play.

Could practice Friday

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that he "hopes" to see Adams (illness) at practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site indicates that a stomach bug has been going around the team's locker room, with Adams having missed the last two days of practice as a result. A return to the field Friday in any capacity would bode well for the wideout's chances of playing Sunday against the Saints, though it remains to be seen if Adams will head into the weekend with an injury designation.

Reportedly dealing with the flu

Adams missed practice for a second straight day Thursday due to what's being described as a bad case of the flu, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Pelissero notes that there's optimism Adams will bounce back in time to be ready to go Sunday against the Saints, a notion that would be supported by the wideout's return to practice, in any capacity, Friday.

Not practicing Thursday

Adams (illness) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The wideout didn't practice Wednesday, so what he's able to do Friday will be key with regard to Adams' chances of suiting up Sunday against the Saints. In six games to date, Adams leads the Raiders with 37 catches on 63 targets for 509 yards and five TDs.

Sits out practice Wednesday

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.

Dealt to Vegas

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. Adams is coming off a six-year stretch in which he surpassed 1,000 yards receiving three times and hit double-digit touchdowns on five occasions. As for the Packers, they'll receive Las…read more

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.

Gets franchise tag, as expected

The Packers placed the franchise tag on Adams on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

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. The Packers and his representatives will now attempt to work out a long-term extension so the club can avoid being on the hook for the…read more

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. The abrupt and disappointing finish to the Packers' season doesn't take away from Adams' eye-popping accomplishments this past regular season, one that saw him produce a…read more

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. Lots of fantasy championships took place this weekend, so Adams gave his managers a huge boost in what might end up being his last regular-season appearance this season after the…read more

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.

Logs another limited practice

Adams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Analysis: Adams has opened Week 14 prep with back-to-back capped sessions, the result of a hamstring issue. With Randall Cobb expected to miss significant time due to a core muscle injury, the Packers' receiving corps again has lost one of its members. Having said that, Adams doesn't seem to be in danger of missing any game action, which may be confirmed on Friday's practice report.

Dealing with hamstring issue

Adams was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Even with the benefit of the Packers' bye week, Adams made an appearance on the first Week 14 injury report. Fortunately for the wide receiver, he was able to fit in some activity, while fellow wideout Randall Cobb (core) didn't. Adams will look to get back to full activity Thursday and/or Friday with the aim of heading into Sunday's divisional matchup with the Bears without a designation.

Tops 100 yards

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. With this performance, Adams has now recorded at least six catches in all but…read more

Logs all activity Thursday

Adams (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: After dealing with a shoulder issue in practice last week, Adams opened Week 12 with a cap on his reps due to an ankle injury, which clearly wasn't serious after he managed all activity Thursday. When he last faced Sunday's opponent, the Rams, Adams hauled in nine of 10 targets for 66 yards and one touchdown in the divisional round back in January.

Tending to ankle issue

Adams was limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to an ankle injury.

Analysis: Adams opened Week 11 prep with a cap on his reps due to a shoulder issue, but he returned to full activity Thursday and went into the Packers' eventual loss to the Vikings without a designation. The Packers haven't indicated that Adams will follow the same practice regimen this week with a new health concern in tow, but he'll have two more sessions to upgrade to full participation. Assuming he's available Sunday against the Rams, Adams will continue to build a stellar 72-979-5 receiving line…read more

Returns to elite form

Adams (shoulder) corralled seven of eight targets for 115 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to Minnesota.

Analysis: Adams was battling a shoulder injury throughout practice this week, but he showed no ill effects in a dominant showing on the gridiron. The 28-year-old was coming off of a pair of pedestrian performances -- by his lofty standards -- during a period where both he and Aaron Rodgers missed time due to illness, but Green Bay's dynamic duo appeared to get its mojo back. Adams will face a stiff test against shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey and the Rams in a rematch of last year's NFC divisional round…read more

Full practice Thursday

Adams (shoulder) practice fully Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams was deemed limited on Wednesday's practice estimate after he was seen stretching and riding a stationary bike prior to a walkthrough. On Thursday, he proceeded to work in individual drills in the media-access portion of the session, per Schneidman. With all activity confirmed in the Packers' most recent practice, Adams is ready to take on the Vikings in Week 11. At the same time, Aaron Rodgers (toe) has yet to get on the field this week, but there's an expectation he'll be throwing to…read more

Logs limited practice

Adams was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a shoulder injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams was among a number of Green Bay veterans to have practice limitations to kick off Week 11 prep, including non-participants Aaron Rodgers (toe), Allen Lazard (shoulder) and David Bakhtiari (knee). Because Wednesday's report was an estimate, Adams' ability to stretch out and ride a stationary bike may have been enough for him to receive the "limited" tag. In any case, the health of least Adams and Rodgers really isn't in question, which would be confirmed by both players returning to a full…read more

Present but not practicing

Adams wasn't taking part in the part of Wednesday's walk-through practice that was open to the media, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Instead, Adams stretched out and was riding a stationary bike. Considering his veteran status, Adams could be receiving the day off, but his listing on Wednesday's practice report will indicate whether or not he's dealing with a health concern.

Solid showing

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. Rodgers and especially Adams should become more dangerous as the rust shakes off, and it might be Week 11 opponent Minnesota who bears the brunt of that.

Difficulties with new QB

Adams caught six passes for 42 yards on 14 targets against Kansas City on Sunday.

Analysis: It's not clear whether Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19) will be available for Green Bay's Week 10 game against Seattle, but it is clear that Jordan Love probably can't get Adams the ball reliably enough for Adams to maintain the dominant production he posted with Rodgers. Adams nearly had a big catch on Love's one interception -- corner L'Jarius Sneed made a great play -- and at another point Love narrowly misplaced a downfield throw after Adams easily beat the defense. It's easy to imagine a way…read more

Declares self ready for Week 9

Adams (illness) confirmed that he'll play Sunday in Kansas City after the Packers reinstated him from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: After testing positive for the virus Oct. 25 and sitting out the Packers' Week 8 win over the Cardinals, Adams cleared all health and safety protocols Thursday and rejoined the team for practice, though he appeared to be mostly limited to conditioning work, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Adams was likely able to ramp up his activity Friday, and he expressed confidence that he'll be good to go Sunday, even though he experienced headaches and body chills while he battled the virus. While the star…read more

Back in the fold

The Packers activated Adams (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Analysis: Adams has spent the past week and a half on the COVID list after a positive test for the virus, which forced him to miss last Thursday's win at Arizona. 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. The Packers also designated Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) to return from IR this week, so the position group could be entirely intact if the team activates him for Sunday's game in Kansas City. But…read more

Back with team Thursday

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.

Expected to practice Thursday

Adams (illness) is expected to return to practice Thursday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: Adams wasn't present for Monday's session because he remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus. However, if he's able to get back on the field Thursday, the 28-year-old would have two days to practice ahead of Sunday's Week 9 matchup against Kansas City.

Not practicing Monday

Adams (illness) wasn't at practice Monday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: Adams was unavailable for Thursday's win over the Cardinals after he tested positive for COVID-19, and he remains off the practice field Monday. The 28-year-old will need to submit a pair of negative tests before he's eligible to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. His next chance to return to game action will be Sunday against Kansas City.

Officially out Thursday

Adams (illness) didn't clear the NFL's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Thursday morning and won't be activated ahead of the Packers' Week 8 game in Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: After Adams was revealed Monday to have tested positive for the virus, his status as a vaccinated player still gave him a slim chance to clear the protocol prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. 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. Evidently, Adams wasn't able to do that, leaving the…read more

Not traveling to Arizona

Adams (illness) won't travel with the Packers to Arizona for Thursday's game against the Cardinals and is expected to remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports.

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. Marquez Valdez-Scantling (hamstring) is eligible to be activated from injured reserve, while Chris Blair and Juwann Winfree are options from the practice squad.

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. However, Adams is likely to be out of the picture against the Cardinals, so Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Robert Tonyan should be more involved in the passing game. Marquez…read more

Goes on COVID-19 list

The Packers placed Adams on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Analysis: GM Brian Gutekunst wasn't able to comment on Adams' vaccination status or whether he tested positive, but even if the wideout was deactivated due to reasons related to contact tracing, he'll likely have a tough time clearing the NFL's COVID-19 protocols prior to Thursday's game against the Cardinals. Adams had a relatively muted performance in Green Bay's Week 7 win over Washington, but he still finished with six receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. If Adams is in fact…read more

Finds end zone Sunday

Adams caught six receptions on seven targets for 76 yards and one touchdown against Washington on Sunday.

Analysis: Adams was automatic with his seven targets, though the usage against Washington was light by his usual standards. It's possible that the Packers held back some of their punches with their Week 8 matchup in Arizona on Thursday in mind, and in any case they'll likely need to call on Adams for more targets as they try to keep pace with Kyler Murray on the other side. Unlike against Washington, Aaron Rodgers is a good bet to throw more than 35 pass attempts against Arizona, and Adams is a good bet…read more

Big catch late in win

Adams secured four of five targets for 89 yards in the Packers' 24-14 win over the Bears on Sunday.

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. He'll look to bounce back with his…read more

Career high in wacky win

Adams caught 11 of 16 targets for 206 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 overtime win against the Bengals.

Analysis: Adams had his way in the first half, making a few big gains on crossing and seam routes before scoring on a five-yard fade. With six catches for 117 yards and that touchdown by halftime, Adams then hauled in a 59-yard bomb from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the second half and made additional meaningful contributions in the fourth quarter and overtime. Overall, the superstar wideout finished with a career high in yardage, continuing his dominant start to the season. Next up for Adams is another…read more

Solid numbers in Week 4 win

Adams secured six of 11 targets for 64 yards in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Analysis: The All-World wideout wasn't at his most prolific by any stretch, but considering the matchup against the tough Steelers defense, his numbers weren't a downright disappointment. 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. Despite going without a score Sunday, Adams' fantasy managers are mostly…read more

Monster game Sunday night

Adams corralled 12 passes (18 targets) for 132 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 win over San Francisco.

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.

Won't play Saturday

Adams was among the Packers who did not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Other key players among the 32 Packers who will not play in the contest include QB Aaron Rodgers, fellow WRs Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, as well as RB Aaron Jones and TE Robert Tonyan.

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.

Extension talks stall

Adams and the Packers have broken off negotiations for a contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The two sides have been working on a potential deal for months, but talks have stalled and there's apparently no plan to resume negotiations. 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. The status of QB Aaron Rodgers remains uncertain with training camp set to begin next week. and it now appears Green Bay will open the season with question marks surrounding the team's two best…read more

Willing to talk extension

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. While the uncertainty surrounding QB Aaron Rodgers is far from ideal, Adams says it won't impact his preparation for the upcoming season, nor will it dissuade him from discussing a new contract with the Packers. He'd be an obvious candidate for the franchise tag next offseason if the…read more

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. Adams also chipped in bigger gains, the' longest of which went for 21-yards and helped set up a field goal just before halftime. While the matchup may not gain as much hype,…read more

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

Falls flat in Week 15

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. More positively, he should be in a bounceback…read more

Maintains elite pace against Lions

Adams corralled seven of 10 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

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 currently holds an eight-game scoring streak, with an incredible 12 TDs since Week 7. Had he not missed two games in September and October because of a hamstring injury,…read more

Two more scores in win

Adams caught 10 of 12 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Eagles.

Analysis: Aaron Rodgers' favorite receiver put together another huge performance, catching red-zone scores in the second and third quarters, with the second one giving his QB his 400th career passing TD. Adams now has 13 touchdowns in only 10 games this season, and Sunday's performance gave him his second career 1,000-yard campaign. He'll look to continue his rampage through opposition secondaries in Week 14 against a Lions defense that he strained his hamstring against in their first meeting back in…read more

Cashes in early in blowout

Adams (ankle) caught six passes (nine targets) for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-25 win over the Bears.

Analysis: Aaron Rodgers dialed up his favorite target on the game's opening possession for a touchdown at the end of a methodical 75-yard drive. Adams wasn't needed much after the hot start, as the Packers comfortably led by double-digits from the second quarter onward. The fantasy stud continues to inch closer to 100 percent after missing multiple practices over the last three weeks due to a balky ankle. Adams' production hasn't been hampered by the nagging injury, as he's racked up a whopping nine…read more

Fine for Sunday

Adams (ankle) returned to practice Friday and will play in Sunday's game against the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Adams followed the same routine last week, logging a single limited practice before catching seven passes for 106 yards and a touchdown in an overtime loss to the Colts. He'll face another tough defense this weekend, hoping to extend his TD streak to six games.

Held out of practice Thursday

Adams (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: After logging a limited session Wednesday, Adams' only activity one day later was the team stretch. While Matt LaFleur will be "cautious" with the Packers' No. 1 wide receiver -- per Reiner -- the coach remains optimistic about Adams' prospects for Sunday's game versus the Bears. All of Allen Lazard (core), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) were limited Thursday, so Green Bay's receiving corps is particularly banged up with just one practice remaining this…read more

Practice limitations continue

Adams (ankle) took part in Thursday's team stretch but didn't join his teammates outside for practice, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Prior to the session, coach Matt LaFleur told Reiner that "we're gonna be cautious" with his lingering ankle issue. As such, Adams could be listed as limited for a second practice in a row this week, but his activity level won't be official until the release of Thursday's injury report.

Limited by ankle again

Adams (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: After picking up an ankle injury Week 10 against the Jaguars, Adams turned in only two limited practices Week 11. Still, the ankle issue didn't stop him from notching his fourth 100-yard effort and 10th touchdown of the season in Sunday's loss at Indianapolis. He'll look to do something similar this weekend against the Bears, assuming he gains clearance for the contest.

Another efficient performance

Adams recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts.

Analysis: Adams didn't rack up his usual double-digit targets, but did make the most of his opportunity in all areas of the field. He found the end zone for his 10th touchdown of the campaign on a five-yard reception midway through the second quarter. While Marquez Valdes-Scantling maintained his role as the primary deep threat, Adams did also manage to log field-stretching receptions of 33, 20, 18 and 14 yards. Adams will face a stiff test in Week 12 against the Bears, though his target volume should…read more

Cleared to play

Adams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Adams was a limited participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday, but it's now clear the downgrade was inspired by caution rather than any type of setback. He should be ready for his usual role this weekend, facing a Colts defense that's allowed fewer touchdowns to wide receivers (eight) than Adams has scored on his own (nine).

Expected to play

Coach Matt LaFleur said Adams (ankle) "should be good to go" for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams was a limited practice participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday. It's still possible the Packers list him as questionable on their final injury report, but he should be ready to play come Sunday.

DNP on Thursday

Adams (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: During the open part of practice, Adams took part in the team stretch but didn't join his teammates outside for drills, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. The result for Adams was no activity after logging a limited session Wednesday. The downgrade is concerning as the Packers inch closer to the weekend, but he still has one more chance to make an impression on the field before Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Logs limited showing Wednesday

Adams (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Adams injured his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but according to the wide receiver, he was able to persuade the Packers' training staff to let him back on the field, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. He went on to record the game-winning score in the final quarter, giving him a league-leading nine touchdown catches on the season (tied with Adam Thielen and Tyreek Hill). While the Packers plan to have Adams back out there again this weekend at…read more

Dominates target share, scores TD

Adams corralled eight of his 12 targets for 66 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 win against Jacksonville. He also lost one fumble.

Analysis: Adams was forced to briefly exit Sunday's contest in order to have his ankle evaluated by trainers, but he was able to return after one drive. The three-time Pro Bowler notched his ninth touchdown reception of the 2020 campaign with his fourth-quarter score from the arm of Aaron Rodgers, simultaneously pulling even with Greg Jennings for sixth all-time in TD receptions (53) in Packers franchise history. Adams' workload had been dominant entering Sunday, with double-digit targets in each of his…read more

Quickly returns Sunday

Adams (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in the fourth quarter, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Adams missed a full drive while having his ankle evaluated, but the star receiver returned to action with a fresh tape job in his ankle as the Packers look to mount a comeback.

Hurts ankle Sunday

Adams is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars due to an ankle injury.

Analysis: For his standards, Adams has had a rough performance, hauling in seven of 11 passes for 60 yards and losing a fumble after one of those catches. At the point of his departure in the third quarter, he had his ankle taped and was seen stretching his leg on the sideline. In Adams' stead, the Packers are down to four available options at wide receiver (Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown, Malik Taylor and Juwann Winfree).

Tramples Niners in win

Adams secured 10 of 12 targets for 173 yards with one touchdown in the Packers' 34-17 win over the 49ers on Thursday night.

Analysis: The Pro Bowl wideout posted a game-high reception total and also set the pace for the Packers in receiving yardage. Adams gave a hint of what type of night was in store when he capped off Green Bay's opening drive with a 36-yard touchdown grab, and he went on to easily post his third 100-yard effort and second-highest yardage tally of the campaign. Adams' first-quarter score also gives him at least one touchdown catch in three straight contests, a streak he'll look to maintain in a favorable…read more

Another multi-score performance

Adams caught seven of 12 targets for 53 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: While he didn't match the triple-digit yardage totals from his eruptions in Weeks 1 and 7, Adams still put together another dazzling performance and accounted for all the Packers' TDs on the afternoon. The receiver now has seven touchdowns in only five games -- five of them against the Vikings -- as Aaron Rodgers' top option, but Adams will face a stingier secondary in Week 9's trip to San Francisco.

Dominates Texans

Adams recorded 13 catches on 16 targets for 196 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Texans.

Analysis: Adams dominated the Texans from start to finish, beginning his performance with a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter. His second trip to the end zone came on a 45-yard reception late in the third quarter when he broke free behind the Texans' secondary. Aside from the scores, Adams recorded receptions of 36, 28, 16 and 15 yards. It was a dominant performance for Adams, and he's now topped 150 receiving yards in two of his four games on the season. He'll face another soft secondary in a…read more

Makes six catches in return

Adams caught six of 10 targets for 61 yards during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Making his first appearance in nearly a month, Adams led the team in all receiving categories, though that wasn't saying much considering Aaron Rodgers managed just 160 yards on the day. Adams registered three catches on the first two drives but struggled as Rodgers' efficacy faded in the face of a ferocious defensive front, leading Adams to finish with modest numbers by his lofty standards. Adams will draw a favorable matchup against the Texans next Sunday and will look to bounce back in a big…read more

Ready to face Tampa

Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Friday that Adams will return for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams thought he was healthy enough to play Week 4, but the Packers medical staff wanted him to rest his hamstring a little longer before the team had its bye Week 5. 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.

Full practice Wednesday

Adams (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Adams may have been able to return for a Week 4 showdown against the Falcons, but the Packers ultimately kept him on the sideline with the hope he would be healthy following the team's bye week. Indeed, Adams handled every practice rep Wednesday, clearing him to rejoin Green Bay's offense. Adams will look to produce Sunday versus a Bucs unit that has allowed 8.1 yards per target and a 71.1 percent catch rate to wide receivers this season.

Practicing Monday

Adams (hamstring) is participating in Monday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams didn't suit up for Green Bay's win over the Falcons in Week 4 while tending to a lingering hamstring strain, but it looks as though he's avoided any setbacks during the team's subsequent bye. The Packers are hoping to have the star receiver at full health for Sunday's upcoming contest in Tampa Bay, but an official update on his injury may not come until Wednesday's first practice report of the week is released. With Allen Lazard (abdomen) expected to miss multiple games after undergoing…read more

Not playing Monday

Adams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday against the Falcons

Analysis: As expected, Adams won't be out there as he tends to a hamstring strain. The Packers have a bye Week 5, so the team seems to be hoping the extra rest will mean a fully healthy Adams once the team reconvenes for a Week 6 showdown in Tampa Bay. Allen Lazard also is sidelined following core muscle surgery, so Green Bay is down to four healthy wide receivers (Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darrius Shepherd, Malik Taylor and Reggie Begelton) on the game-day roster.

Says he won't play

Adams (hamstring) said he won't play in Monday's game against the Falcons, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: Adams hasn't officially been ruled out by the Packers, but he made an announcement on Twitter (that he's since deleted) Monday morning, strongly hinting at disagreement between he and the team. "Sorry fans and friends, I won't be on the field tonight. I've done everything I need to do and proved I'm ready but I guess I don't know my body as well as others. Good luck out there my boys." With Allen Lazard (IR - core muscle) already ruled out, Marquez Valdes-Scantling is left behind as Green Bay's…read more

Game-time decision

Adams (hamstring) will be a game-time decision Monday against the Falcons, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Adams missed Week 3 with a hamstring strain, though he returned to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity. Uncertainty heading into a Monday night game certainly isn't ideal from a fantasy perspective, and there will be plenty of that at the wide receiver position this week, with Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle/calf) also listed as questionable. Marquez Valdes-Scantling could move into a larger role for the Packers if Adams can't play, while Russell Gage on the Falcons…read more

Practices again Saturday

Adams (hamstring) practiced Saturday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: A strained hamstring kept Adams out of the Packers' Week 3 game against the Saints, but he's now been able to practice for the third straight day. He was limited in previous practices, but the fact that he's out there at all gives him a chance to be ready for this week's Monday night contest against the Falcons. He's yet to be officially cleared, however.

Listed as limited again

Adams (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Listed as limited for a second straight day, Adams was spotted by the media running routes and catching passes. He seems to be on track for a return Monday night against Atlanta, but he did say he wants to be cautious if he has any doubt about his physical condition. It's a tricky position for fantasy managers with the Packers playing in the final game of the week and fellow starting wideout Allen Lazard (core muscle surgery) facing an indefinite absence. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Falcons…read more

Running routes at practice

Adams (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The video posted by Schneidman shows Adams running a route and catching a pass from Aaron Rodgers, albeit without any defenders on the field. Meanwhile, Allen Lazard is out indefinitely while he recovers from core muscle surgery, potentially leaving Marquez Valdes-Scantling as the Packers' No. 1 receiver if Adams can't return for Monday's game against Atlanta. Adams said he wants to take a cautious approach, but it appears he's at least on track for a game-time decision. His fantasy managers…read more

Logs limited practice

Adams (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.

Analysis: Adams' activity level is no shock after sitting out most of the last five quarters of game action due to a hamstring injury. Likely thinking about his turf toe injury that resulted in four DNPs in 2019, he told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Thursday that he intends to "make sure I'm 100 percent before I'm back out there." On a positive note, Adams' hamstring is "feeling a lot better this week than last week," according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Taking stock of the situation, Adams…read more

Returns to practice

Adams (hamstring) participated in Thursday's practice, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Adams didn't play down the stretch of the Packers' Week 2 win against the Lions, which at the time was considered a precautionary measure by coach Matt LaFleur. While Adams didn't practice at all last week, Green Bay still gave him a chance to suit up this past Sunday night at New Orleans. Adams was unable to prove his health to the team's training staff. but his ability to take the field Thursday indicates he's back on track. The Packers will reveal his activity level upon the release of their…read more

Sitting out Sunday

Adams (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The Packers took the decision on Adams down to the wire, but his hamstring injury was too much to overcome in one week's time. With its No. 1 wide receiver on the pine, Green Bay seems poised to use more 12 personnel than normal with just two viable WR (Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling) available to the offense. That said, Malik Taylor and Darrius Shepherd are active if and when coach Matt LaFleur dials up three-wide sets.

Not yet ruled out

Adams (hamstring) will have until game time Sunday night to illustrate he's healthy enough to play against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The 27-year-old is officially considered doubtful for the Week 3 matchup, but the Packers will wait to see how he feels in the lead-up to the game before making a decision. Adams was unable to participate at practice throughout the week. Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are poised to handle the bulk of the reps at wide receiver should Adams be unable to play.

Doubtful for Week 3

Adams (hamstring) officially is listed a doubtful for Sunday night's game at New Orleans.

Analysis: After coach Matt LaFleur called Adams "probably doubtful" for Week 3 earlier Friday, the Packers' final injury report of the week confirmed as much. 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.

Injury not serious

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.

Held out of practice

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. Adams is one of the few players in the league with a shot at 30 percent target share, a number that only Michael Thomas and DeAndre Hopkins…read more

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. Adams is under contract for two more…read more

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

Listed as limited Thursday

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 Thursday

Adams (toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Analysis: Adams isn't in danger of missing Sunday's road game against the Giants. Instead, the Packers continue to cap his reps in practice to make sure his toe is ready for game day. In three appearances since four consecutive DNPs, he's totaled 21 receptions (on 33 targets) for 202 yards and one touchdown.

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. Missed time has certainly cut into the star wideout's scoring production, but a stronger commitment to the run under Matt…read more

Clear for Week 12

Adams (toe) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

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.

Still has cap on practice reps

Adams (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Analysis: The Packers are taking no chances with Adams' lingering toe, even after their bye week. Still, there's been no indication Adams is in danger of missing the Sunday night showdown at San Francisco. Expect the team to clarify Adams' standing on Friday's practice report.

Limited practice Wednesday

Adams (toe) was listed as a limited participant on the Packers' injury report Wednesday.

Analysis: Despite having the benefit of a Week 11 bye, Adams continues to deal with the toe injury that forced four consecutive absences from Weeks 5 through 8. In the two games before the Week 11 respite, he racked up 14 catches (on 21 targets) for 159 yards and no touchdowns. Previously a TD machine, Adams has yet to reach the end zone this season, but he'll attempt to change that Sunday against a 49ers defense that has allowed nine total touchdowns in 10 contests this season. That's assuming he gets…read more

Contributes 118 receiving yards

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.

Ready to go Sunday

Adams (toe) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Adams followed an LP/LP/LP practice regimen for the second week in a row, but his toe injury won't follow him into the weekend this time around. He'll thus be able to take aim at a Carolina defense that has given up 180 receiving yards per game and six total touchdowns to wideouts in eight games this season.

Limited again Thursday

Adams (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: After missing four games with a right toe injury, Adams earned a typical 83 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Chargers. His production was below average -- seven receptions (on 11 targets) for 41 yards and no TDs -- and he also emerged with some discomfort in the toe, per Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site. As such, Adam's activity level so far this week is no surprise. Expect his Week 10 status to experience some clarity upon the release of Friday's practice…read more

Limited Wednesday

Adams (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Analysis: Adams returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Chargers, logging 83 percent of the offensive snaps en route to collecting seven catches (on 11 targets) for 41 yards. Afterward, coach Matt LaFleur relayed Adams didn't suffer any setbacks with his toe injury in the process, but the Packers aren't taking any chances to kick off Week 10 prep. Adams has two more sessions to upgrade to "full" in advance of this weekend's contest against the Panthers.

No setbacks in return

Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Adams (toe) suffered no health setbacks in his return from a four-game absence in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers, Zach Kruse of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: A game-time call heading into the contest, Adams proceeded to start and play 83 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps in the loss, finishing the afternoon with seven catches for 41 yards on 11 targets. While the Packers' passing game couldn't get much going in Los Angeles, the improved health of the team's top target should yield better performances moving forward. With Adams' case of turf toe now seemingly in the rear-view mirror, fantasy managers can use him with confidence in the Packers'…read more

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.

Returns from four-game absence

Adams (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers in L.A., Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Subject to a pregame warmup, Adams has overcome his questionable tag and ended his absence at four contests. During Week 9 prep, coach Matt La Fleur was reticent to guarantee Adams' return to action, especially because the wide receiver still felt some pain while pushing off his right foot. In the end, the Packers' medical staff has determined Adams can handle the rigors of an NFL game, but the team also wouldn't shock anyone if it capped his snap count. Whatever he's allowed to take on, he'll…read more

On track to play Sunday

Adams (toe) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Chargers but will still likely go through a pre-game workout to test his availability, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

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. Despite him being expected to play, the 26-year-old remains somewhat of a risky proposition for fantasy managers given Sunday's 4:25pm ET kickoff. The Packers will officially post their inactives about 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Deemed game-time decision

Adams (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, with coach Matt LaFleur saying the Packers will wait until 90 minutes before kickoff to announce their decision on the wide receiver, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: The 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff thus becomes a source of frustration for fantasy managers, though Adams at least appears to be trending in the right direction after three consecutive limited practices this week. Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com notes that the wide receiver looked good at Friday's session, leap-frogging a staff member during a warmup drill. Of course, a single explosive movement isn't the same thing as doing it snap after snap for three hours, so the Packers presumably will put Adams through a…read more
