Davante Adams Could Force His Release

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is unlikely to want to return in 2025 with the team parting ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Adams' contract is structured in a way that would give him the power to ultimately force his release. Adams has a $38.25 million salary cap hit in 2025, although none of his $35.6 million salary is guaranteed. The expectation is that New York will cut or trade Adams and save $29.8 million in cap space while taking on $8.3 million in dead money. It's unclear where the 32-year-old veteran will end up, but it's possible he'll follow Rodgers to another team if Rodgers doesn't retire. Although the Jets couldn't turn things around after trading for Adams, he ended up finishing with his fifth straight 1,000-yard season despite playing in only 14 regular-season games.

Jets Could Move On From Davante Adams

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the New York Jets could move on from wide receiver Davante Adams. Rapoport noted that with the Jets and Aaron Rodgers expected to part ways, the team is unlikely to keep his longtime receiver on the roster as well. The Jets traded for Adams prior to their Week 8 tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. During his time with the Jets, Adams averaged a strong 77.6 yards per game with seven touchdowns. He saw 10.4 targets per game and brought in 6.1 passes per game. Despite the Jets falling short of expectations, Adams posted his fifth-straight 1,000-yard campaign. Even though Adams will be entering his age-32 campaign, he should still be viewed as a solid WR2 heading into the 2025 campaign, even if he is playing for a new team.

Davante Adams Interested In Joining Chargers, Rams?

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is intrigued by a potential return to the West Coast and would be open to joining the Los Angeles Chargers or Los Angeles Rams if he gets released this offseason. Fowler also puts the San Francisco 49ers in the conversation, as Adams grew up in Northern California. The Jets are going to need to address Adams' situation, as his $38.3 million salary cap hit is untenable. The three-time All-Pro wideout had 854 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games after the Jets acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders last year, but his addition failed to turn the Jets offense around as a whole, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers may not play out his contract in New York. Adams still managed his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and would be an intriguing addition for the Chargers, Rams or 49ers.

Davante Adams Finds The End Zone In Week 18 Win

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught six of his 12 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Adams wrapped up his 2024 season with six touchdown grabs over his final six games, giving him eight total TDs on the season. The veteran wideout came over to the Jets at the trade deadline but New York wound up being one of the more disappointing teams in the NFL this season, winning just five games while some cracks in the relationship between Aaron Rodgers and the organization appeared. Adams has stated that he wants to continue to play with Rodgers, so if the team decides to move on from the quarterback, Adams could be on his way out of town as well. Adams is still under contract for two more seasons but he has huge cap hits in each of the next two years and could probably leverage his way out of town if he refuses to renegotiate his deal. Regardless of where he is playing next season, Adams has proven that he can still be a No. 1 receiver in real life and fantasy even at age 32.

Davante Adams A Low-End WR1 In Week 18

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams was quiet in a Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills, catching just five passes for 47 yards. He needs just 25 receiving yards for his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. The team standing in the way of that milestone for Adams in Week 18 is a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Just like when they were together in Green Bay, Adams has been Aaron Rodgers' favorite target since joining the Jets at the trade deadline. He is a low-end WR1 for fantasy this weekend while also being in play as a tournament option in DFS contests.

Davante Adams Quiet In Week 17 Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught five of his eight targets for 47 yards in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Adams dealt with a hip injury throughout the week and came into the game listed as questionable before he ultimately suited up to take on the Bills. It is possible that the hip issue slowed Adams, who had posted five touchdown catches in his previous four contests. On the bright side, Adams appeared to emerge from the contest without any setbacks, putting him on track to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 18.

Davante Adams Officially Active For Week 17

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The veteran receiver has been dominant lately, catching 39 passes for 441 yards and five touchdowns over his last four games. He is the overall WR1 in half-PPR leagues during that span, ranking a couple points ahead of Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. Adams should continue to be treated as a high-end WR1 option against the Bills on Sunday. He's especially intriguing given speculation that Aaron Rodgers may target Adams for his 500th career passing touchdown.

Davante Adams Likely To Face The Bills

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's AFC East showdown with the Buffalo Bills. The wideout is dealing with a hip issue and didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Although he logged a limited session on Friday, it still wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation for Week 17. Adams has been on a roll of late, finding the end zone five times in the last four games. With Aaron Rodgers looking for his 500th career touchdown, Adams has plenty of motivation to score versus the Bills. Assuming the 32-year-old gets the official green light to suit up, he's a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Davante Adams Questionable But "Optimistic" About His Chances Of Playing In Week 17

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) is listed as questionable for the Week 17 game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but he said he's "optimistic" about his chances of suiting up. Adams didn't practice at all on Wednesday or Thursday but returned to a limited session on Friday and appears to be on the right side of questionable. As things stand now, fantasy managers should be planning to leave the All-Pro veteran wideout in their starting lineups for championship weekend in most leagues. The 32-year-old has seen at least 11 targets in six of his last seven games and should remain quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite weapon in the passing game this weekend if he's active. On top of his heavy target share in the Jets' offense, the Bills defense has allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to wideouts in the last five weeks. Adams is a must-start in fantasy if he's active.

Davante Adams Returns To Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) returned to the practice field on Friday. This is good news for fantasy managers after Adams sat out the first two days of practice. Adams reportedly looked good in practice, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. The fact he was able to get back on the practice field on Friday gives him a good shot at playing on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers will have to wait until the official injury report is released later on Friday for a better update on Adams availability. If active, Adams should be plugged in as a WR1 for Week 17.

Davante Adams Misses Practice Again On Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Adams is now firmly in danger of missing the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but he'll have a shot of suiting up if he can return to the practice field on Friday. The good news for fantasy managers is that Adams and the Jets play in the early window on Sunday, so we should know early that day whether he'll be active. The 32-year-old veteran has hit his stride in the last four games, scoring in each contest while bringing in 30 of his 48 targets for 441 yards and five total touchdowns as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' clear favorite target. So if Adams is active this weekend, there's no reason you should be benching him in most formats despite fellow wideout Garrett Wilson clamoring for more targets.

Davante Adams Back On The Practice Field

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip), who was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's practice session, is back on the field during the early portion open to the media. It's unclear exactly if Adams was able to put in a full session, but the fact that he's back on the field at all suggests the Jets were just resting the veteran pass-catcher earlier in the week. The 32-year-old's Week 17 status is worth monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. If Adams is active this weekend, he should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups with championships on the line. In recent weeks, he's been the Jets' clear WR1 ahead of Garrett Wilson. Adams has scored in four straight games and has 30 receptions for 441 yards and five touchdowns on 48 targets in that span. Check back on Friday to see if he carries an injury designation into Sunday's game.

Davante Adams Finds The End Zone In Week 16 Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of his 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Adams extended his touchdown streak to four straight games with an 11-yard grab in the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Jets that would be the only touchdown they would score in the low-scoring loss to LA. Adams has been on fire of late with double-digit targets in six of his seven contests while scoring six touchdowns over that span. He will be a no-brainer WR1 in fantasy heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Davante Adams A Top-Six Option In Week 16

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams has been on an absolute tear of late, posting 307 receiving yards and three touchdowns over his past two games. Adams will look to stay hot in a home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Los Angeles has struggled against opposing wideouts this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. After overtaking Garrett Wilson as the No. 1 target for the Jets, Adams has drawn double-digit targets in five of his past six contests and should be locked in as a top-six fantasy receiver heading into Week 16.

Davante Adams Totals 198 Yards With Two Scores On Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught nine of his 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. His 198 yards set a new season-high. This was also his second-straight contest, totaling over 100 receiving yards, and his third-straight game saw at least double-digit targets. Adams' first score of the afternoon came on a one-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers in the second quarter. Then, in the third, Adam broke free on a 71-yard TD reception. While it took Adams some time to adjust to the New York playbook, the veteran wideout is getting on track at the right time. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing the 31-year-old as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 16, facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the 13th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.

Davante Adams A WR2 In Week 15

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams has scored a touchdown in two straight games as he has heated up late in the season. Adams will look to stay hot on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars are unlikely to provide much resistance for him as they are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season. Adams has drawn double-digit targets in four of his past five contests and should continue to return solid fantasy numbers in Week 15, making him a high-end WR2 this weekend.

Dec 13, 2024 9:50 PM EST


Davante Adams Finds The End Zone In Week 14

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught nine of his 11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Adams hauled in Aaron Rodgers' lone touchdown pass on a three-yard catch in the third quarter, the 79th time the two have hooked up for a score across both the regular and postseason. The veteran receiver now has a touchdown in two straight games and in three of his past five. He is shaping up as a solid WR2 with the fantasy playoffs approaching and will be an excellent fantasy play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15.

Dec 8, 2024 10:46 PM EST


Davante Adams A Solid WR2 In Week 14

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams has been very productive of late, having caught 24 of 43 targets for 260 yards and two touchdowns over his past four games. He will look to stay hot in Week 14's road matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have been tough on wide receivers this season, allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Adams should remain heavily targeted in this contest so his high volume should offset the challenging matchup, making him a mid-range WR2 in fantasy this weekend.

Dec 6, 2024 9:34 PM EST


Davante Adams Open To Returning To Jets In 2025

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams said he's open to returning to the team next season, although there are many factors out of his control, including contract issues and quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future. Adams also said he has no regrets about joining the Jets this year and he's enjoyed his experience, even though the team hasn't been able to turn their season around. If Rodgers isn't back in New York, which isn't expected, it's unlikely the 31-year-old All-Pro wideout will be. The six-time Pro Bowler only played in three games with the Las Vegas Raiders this year before forcing his way out of town to reunite with his buddy Rodgers after working with him in Green Bay earlier in his career. In six games with Gang Green, Adams has caught 31 of 58 targets for 344 yards and two touchdowns. He's still an every-week starter, but sharing valuable targets with Garrett Wilson caps his fantasy upside.

Davante Adams Finds The End Zone In Week 13

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught five of his 12 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Adams led the Jets in receiving yards and targets while coming down with an eight-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. The veteran wideout has found his stride for the Jets of late, catching 24 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns over his past four contests. Meanwhile, fellow star wideout Garrett Wilson has now failed to top 41 receiving yards in three straight contests. Adams will look to stay hot in Week 14's divisional matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
