Davante Adams Quiet In Week 17 Loss

Sunday, December 29, 9:07 PM

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.

Michael Pittman Jr. Goes Over 100 Yards, Scores A TD In Week 17

Sunday, December 29, 7:02 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. set season highs in targets and receptions in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants, hauling in nine of 10 targets for 109 yards and a score. With the Colts playing from behind all day, it was the intermediate-to-long-range pass catchers who benefitted from the unexpected game script as Indy tried to play catch-up. It was the fifth time in the last six games that the 27-year-old recorded at least seven targets and five receptions, but only the second time he's gone over 100 yards receiving all season, the other instance coming back in Week 4. With as poorly as this passing attack has looked, there are surely managers who saw this production on their bench, but for those who had the foresight to play the former second-round draft pick, he surely helped teams to fantasy championships. For anyone still playing next week or thinking about DFS options, the Colts get a favorable home matchup against the Jaguars, but monitor to see who is under center for the Colts as Joe Flacco will make the receivers better plays than if it is Anthony Richardson (back, foot).
