WR Davante Adams, LAR (2 Viewers)

Poor Adams... he had a pretty quiet game today but that is not his fault whatsoever. Minshew is simply an awful QB. The dude is SO scared to pull the triggerr to open guys. He clearly doesn't ttrust his arm and that is killing this passing game. On a number of occasions he had an open guy and dumped it off elsewhere.
I think DA will rebound fantasy wise, especially if we go to AOC at some point.

Had a couple of bad drops today. Easy catches... drive killers.

He needs a new change of scenery honestly. The Raiders are going nowhere and he still is a WR1. Someone like the Ravens should pony up and elevate their O, and the Raiders should get what they can for an expensive aging WR.

are you talking as a player or as a fantasy player?

Both lol.
He clearly wants a ring, can put a team over the top still and is being completely wasted in a Getsy/Minshew O.

I agree and there are plenty of teams that need a guy like him
The problem is it might take a few weeks for him to really understand a new playbook
But which team exactly?
The Bills might be a good place, I'm not sure they truly have enough at WR this year to actually go all the way to the Super Bowl
It would be some great candy for Josh Allen
And anyone who would raise an eyebrow shipping Diggs but then going Adams, completely different WRs IMHO
I think Adams would give them so long range vertical they might be lacking and take some heat off the trio they have right now, would help Coleman develop

He's going to have 20 targets next week.
He's on pace for 102-1184-6. Its not like he's been terrible.
I mean, Jets have the cap space, the Rodgers connection, are an all-in contender, and could offer up Reddick+.

Could even pit them against each other to get a little more

They need to trade this guy immediately and start the Tre Tucker experiment. Tre Tucker looks ascending as a 2nd year player and it’s clear Davante wants to play with a QB who will consistently get him the ball. Not saying he -deserves- to be a contender but I also think the Packers should’ve kept him with Love lol
I can see the Cowboys marketing a splash move like this because they always play to win now lol
Steelers also make a ton of sense but he probably won’t be happy with the volume or situation there. Rodgers makes too much sense too as they have lots of low cost studs on the roster and Adams would at least get targeted in a funnel.
Also wonder if the Jags make a move to upgrade the outside but I’m not sure they are even good this year…

Perhaps they will wait and wait and wait until the price is down and the frustration continues to mount for the Raiders and for Adams. Every team in the league knows the Raiders should and probably will trade for Adams and are probably lowballing the Raiders with offers.
If Wilson gets hurt, then yeah, Jets are going to pony up. Maybe Raiders are just waiting for disaster to strike a contender and then strike. Raiders will not get full value if they have to wait until the trade deadline 4pm.

It's all relative. For Adams, it's bad. Especially in the TD department. I don't know that he's got the juice to stretch the field any longer, but is still too good off the line and in/out of breaks to not be a target hog in the RZ and around the goalline. He just lacks a QB with the necessary touch and anticipation/vision to make those throws now. For fantasy, I'm waiting for a blow up game to try and package him and ship him off. His game to game point variance is too extreme.

His stated reason for leaving Green Bay and moving to LV (despite equal pay) was to be closer to his family. He didn’t seems motivated by a desire to win in making that move at least.
Dallas would make a lot of sense too. It seems like Cooks may be, well, cooked.

Showed up on injury report today. Hammy.

At least he showed up SOMEWHERE this week.
There's certainly a part of me that wonders if this is subterfuge and he's getting traded by Tuesday.
Also, could just be he got hurt in practice.

A lot of speculation with that but the downside for the Raiders hiding injuries is too much. He's probably at least a little hurt.There's certainly a part of me that wonders if this is subterfuge and he's getting traded by Tuesday.

Nothing concrete, just a lot of chatter that Pierce doesn't really like Adams, and that a contender would be wise to target him, as he's still playing at a very high level.Are there rumors? Link?There's certainly a part of me that wonders if this is subterfuge and he's getting traded by Tuesday.

Just speculation based off that, and some offseason talk of NYJ being interested, and Dallas looking to add another playmaker.
Could totally just be Adams got hurt in practice, and now he's not playing.

[Bonsignore] A league source with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the @Raiders are growing open to the idea of trading Davante Adams. The source said the club has begun reaching out to teams to gauge interest in the veteran wide receiver.
[Devante Adams] on if he’s played his last down as a Raider: “All I can control is the next thing that I’m on to.”

I think after the Shefter reports and these things dropping today it's more about predicting the destination then if it will happen.
A lot about this seems odd to me. He goes to bat for Pierce to get the HC job. The hire Getsy who worked with Davante. He has a huge week 2 and a week later things seemed to go south in a hurry.

Get him to KC!!!!
Also if we are going to lob predictions I'd go with Browns or the long rumored Jets.
I don't think the Raiders will help the Chiefs plus I think one of the reasons Davante is not happy, in fact feel pretty strongly about this, is he wants his contract redone as he knows he's never going to see that $35M base next year and is essentially a lameduck on a mid at best team and I don't see the Chiefs willing to extend him.
He may indirectly open up a Cooper option to the Chiefs though if the Browns are in on him and despite their slow start I think they might be.

Sure hope not. I like my Terry shares.

Report: Raiders gauging interest from other teams in Davante Adams trade

Rodgers will make sure he's a Jet.
I would love to see him land on the Bills or Ravens though. He deserves a ring.

He would help Wilson immensely. Wilson against the #2 CB and facing single coverage is way better than what he's currently getting.
Shouldn’t he be able to beat that coverage at least somewhere consistently if he’s a true number one?
