2023 Fantasy Outlook
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).

Intends to remain with Las Vegas
Adams said Sunday at his annual youth football camp that he intends to play for the Raiders next season, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
There was some speculation early in the offseason that the Raiders could pursue trading their star wideout, but GM Tom Telesco shot that idea down in late February. Adams' comments Sunday seem to solidify the expectation that he'll remain with Las Vegas for a third campaign in 2024. Adams reached the 100-reception mark for the fourth straight season in 2023, but his 1,144 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns were his lowest totals since 2019, when he played in only 12 games due to a toe injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not seeking trade
Adams wants to remain a Raider, ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With the coaching staff, quarterback and front office turmoil, there's plenty of reason to have speculated that Adams wouldn't want to stick with the Raiders. However, the wide receiver has voiced approval of both head coach Antonio Pierce and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, and Adams reiterated Sunday that he is not seeking a trade. His yardage and touchdown totals took a hit in 2023, but Adams could rebound with Gardner Minshew under center and perhaps a new rookie quarterback to fill out the quarterback room.

It's hard to beat playing with Aaron Rodgers, the four-time MVP. By any other standard, Adams
has a pretty good setup in Las Vegas, where he'll join former college teammate Derek Carr and
new coach Josh McDaniels. The off-field chemistry with Carr won't necessarily produce the kind
of remarkable on-field chemistry Adams had with Rodgers, but there is already some familiarity,
and Carr's last two seasons were arguably his two best. You could say the same for Adams, a
rare late bloomer in an era where most big-time wideouts break out in Year 1 or 2. For Adams, a
2014 second-round pick with 4.56 speed, it took until his third campaign, which yielded 997
yards and 12 TDs. He averaged 97 catches for 1,199 yards and 11.5 TDs the last six years,
highlighted by 18 TDs in 2020 and 1,553 yards in 2021. Rodgers was a big part of that, but he's
played with a lot of receivers over the years and only Jordy Nelson ever had comparable
numbers. The move to Vegas means a QB downgrade, and it also means Adams will face more
competition for targets, joining a team that already has Hunter Renfrow and TE Darren Waller.
Neither runs many routes on the perimeter, though, and McDaniels has a history of favoring the
passing game over the run. It's a pretty good deal for Adams, who also has a big contract to
show for it.
