Raiders make a point to involve Davante Adams

The Las Vegas Raiders made one of the best trades of the offseason to acquire star receiver Davante Adams.

At the time, some people wondered how Adams would fare without Aaron Rodgers.

Well, he hasn’t missed a beat this season.

Once again putting in some monster numbers and making the case for the all-pro first team.

Adams immediately became quarterback Derek Carr’s favorite target.

Additionally, his play was a major reason for the Raiders’ three-game winning streak.

Las Vegas realizes their offense is at its best when Adams gets the ball back.

That’s why he’s averaged 13.4 targets per game over the last five.

Davante Adams has seen an incredible 67 targets in his last 5 games.

In this period, it averages:
132.8 receiving yards
29.8 PPR fancy stitches

He also scored 7 touchdowns.

Trading a big pick package for a wide receiver can be a risky proposition.

But, the 29-year-old receiver has shown he’s well worth all the project capital dropped.

Despite starting the year 2-7, the Raiders are back in the hunt for the playoffs after the aforementioned three-game winning streak.

Las Vegas is set to face the injury-depleted Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night, a game the Raiders are expected to win.
