Davante Adams Carries WR1 Upside Against Arizona

Saturday, October 17, 9:58 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams draws a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals after catching five of seven targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's overtime loss to Buffalo. The veteran has now recorded 27 receptions for 441 yards and four touchdowns through five games, drawing at least seven targets in each of his past four appearances. His yardage has fluctuated considerably, including a four-catch, 32-yard outing against Philadelphia in Week 4, but the opportunities have remained steady. Puka Nacua commanded a remarkable 24 targets against Buffalo, leaving Adams with a smaller share of Matthew Stafford's passing volume than usual. Still, Arizona presents an appealing matchup after allowing three passing touchdowns in last week's 45-21 loss to Detroit, including two to Jameson Williams. Adams remains a strong weekly starter with WR1 potential, particularly against a Cardinals defense that has struggled to keep opposing receivers out of the end zone.

Darius Slayton News

Darius Slayton Released by the Colts

Friday, October 16, 5:21 AM

The Indianapolis Colts have released veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Slayton signed with the Colts after the team placed wideout Alec Pierce (ankle) on injured reserve and was expected to play a larger role in the offense. Slayton has not appeared in a game with the team this season, having suffered a knee injury in practice before last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season, Slayton caught 37 of 63 targets for 538 yards and a touchdown in 14 games with the New York Giants. While it's unclear whether Slayton will sign with another team this season, the Colts will roll with Laquon Treadwell as their primary outside receiver in the coming weeks. This could also mean that Pierce is trending in the right direction and could return at some point this season.
