2024 Season Outlooks

You might lower expectations for Adams in 2024, but not to the point where you'll want to ignore him. Proof of his dynamite production came at the beginning and the end of last season: Adams did well in his first three games (25.1 PPR point average) before Jimmy Garoppolo got concussed, then the Raiders season fell apart and the offense struggled until the final four weeks when Aidan O'Connell got comfortable (19.7 PPR point average). The film will also show that Adams is still explosive, but he clearly needs adequate quarterback play. To that end, Gardner Minshew will begin the season as Las Vegas' quarterback; last season he pushed Michael Pittman to a 16.5 PPR per-game average in his 12 complete games in Indy. Draft Adams with 16 PPR point expectations (probably closer to 9.5 non-PPR points) starting in late Round 2 and early Round 3.

Considering Adams endured three quarterbacks throwing him the football and a midseason coaching change, his 2023 season was probably better than you remember it being. Adams finished 10th among WRs in fantasy points. He got off to a scorching start, with two 20-point performances in his first three weeks, but suffered an inexplicable, mid-year dip in targets just before Josh McDaniels was dispatched. Under Antonio Pierce, Adams finished strong, posting the league's highest target share (36.4%) and five games of 14-plus fantasy points. It was a reminder that Adams is one of the league's true game-changing receivers, independent of who is throwing him the football. He remains a fantasy WR1 entering his age-31 season.
