2024 Fantasy Outlook
QB Derek Carr may have been a disappointment for the Saints last year, but he was missed back in Las Vegas, where Adams finished 372 yards and six touchdowns shy of his 2022 numbers despite playing all 17 games again. The veteran wideout was still useful for fantasy (15.6 PPR average) thanks to the second-highest target rate in the league (31.5 percent of routes), but his catch rate fell south of 60 percent for a second straight season and unlike in 2022 he couldn't make up for it with a smattering of long-distance scores. dropping from 15.2 yards per catch to 11.1. Adams' 55 targets between 10 and 19 yards downfield were a league high, with his 477 yards on those passes placing sixth. He was also Top 10 for both targets and yards on short passes, but the downfield stuff was a complete disaster with just five catches for 164 yards and two TDs on 27 passes 20-plus yards downfield (11th most targets, 55th most yards) even though Adams didn't drop any of them. That's not the best advertisement for Jimmy Garoppolo and Aidan O'Connell, especially after Adams had 593 yards (third most) and nine TDs (league high) on a league-high-tying 38 deep targets in 2022. Positive regression in 2024 is certainly possible and would bring Adams back into the fantasy WR1 territory he occupied from 2018-122, but it can't be assumed when talking about a 31-year-old receiver who still has QB concerns. Offseason signing Gardner Minshew, while probably an upgrade on O'Connell, will still be one of the lesser starting QBs in the league and leave both Adams and fellow WR Jakobi Meyers with efficiency concerns.

Planning to make team debut Sunday
Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After he passed a physical earlier Tuesday, Adams officially joined the Jets, who acquired the six-time Pro Bowl wideout from the Raiders in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick. Adams had missed the Raiders' last three games with the hamstring injury, but if he's able to resume practicing during the upcoming week without any major restrictions, the Jets likely won't hesitate to include him in the game plan for Sunday. The addition of Adams provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a familiar option in the passing game -- the two spent eight seasons together in Green Bay -- and should also help lessen the burden on emerging third-year receiver Garrett Wilson, who had been targeted on 37 percent of Rodgers' pass attempts over the past two weeks. Shortly after the trade was finalized, Schefter relayed that Adams reworked his contract to lower his salary number to $3.21 million for 2024, and his deal includes voidable years in 2025 and 2026. Adams and the Jets will thus wait and see how the remainder of the season plays out before he meets with management again in the offseason to discuss his future in New York.

Adams had an unusual first season in Las Vegas last year, posting a career-high 11.8 aDOT and seven-year-low 55.6 percent catch rate while leading the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns. The one part that wasn't surprising? His 180 targets ranked second in the league, trailing only Justin Jefferson, with new Raiders coach Josh McDaniels placing a huge emphasis on his No. 1 receiver and lead back Josh Jacobs. It didn't really work from a team standpoint, as QB Derek Carr's efficiency nosedived while throwing fewer short passes under a coach who supposedly was known for a quick-strike passing game. Now Carr is out and Jimmy Garoppolo is in, while Jakobi Meyers replaces Mack Hollins as the No. 2 WR and Austin Hooper "replaces" Darren Waller as the top tight end. All the moves hint at an increased emphasis on the short passing game, but Adams still figures to run a lot of deep routes if only because he's the lone receiver on the roster well-suited to the task. He's also a threat in the short and intermediate areas, so things will probably work out for him one way or the other from a fantasy standpoint, following five consecutive seasons with more than 83 receiving yards per game (and 61 TDs in that span).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay in Vegas after QB switch
Adams might be more willing to remain with the Raiders now that the team has switched to Aidan O'Connell at quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout indicated he wanted to be traded a couple weeks ago, but no deal has yet materialized as Las Vegas has insisted on at least a second-round pick in return, without having to eat any of Adams' contract. Adams is a big supporter of O'Connell's, and the prospect of working with him rather than Gardner Minshew might encourage him to stick around. First, though, Adams will need to get healthy, as he's missed the last three games with a hamstring injury.
