Davante Adams Injury Update

Raiders WR Davante Adams is likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Steelers due to a hamstring injury. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, Las Vegas is taking a cautious approach to avoid any risk of setbacks. Adams’ absence opens up additional opportunities for Jakobi Meyers, who has led the team in targets over the past two weeks. Tight end Brock Bowers and WR Tre Tucker will also see increased roles as the Raiders adjust their passing game strategy.

Fantasy Impact: Jakobi Meyers Becomes a Top Target

With Adams sidelined, Meyers becomes the clear top option in the Raiders’ passing game. He’s been heavily involved recently, averaging a team-high 31.1% target share over the last two weeks. Meyers should be considered a strong WR2 or FLEX option in most formats. Bowers and Tucker are riskier plays, but could offer value in deeper leagues, especially Bowers, who has a 24.6% target share.

What to Expect When Adams Returns

Adams is expected to be healthy by Week 7, barring a trade. His potential return will immediately impact Meyers’ role, reducing his volume but likely enhancing his efficiency. Fantasy managers should be ready to adjust their lineups once Adams is back and continue monitoring his trade situation closely.
