Davante Adams 'frustrated' with role in Raiders offense
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams said he's frustrated frustrated with his role in the offense.
Adams hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3 and he has a total of 6 catches on 9 targets for 74 yards over the past two games. "I'm sure people are thinking, 'They won the game, why is there an issue?' I mean, you see why it's an issue. Y'all should know who I am, know what I'm about at this point ... when you're a player like me, mentally, my benchmark is not wins and losses -- it's greatness. So when I go out there, I expect to be able to have that ability to put that on tape and have an influence on the game. That's my purpose for being here. I'm not here just to hang out; I came here to win and to do it the right way." Adams is also dealing with a shoulder issue that limited him in practice on Wednesday, but look for the Raiders to give him the squeaky wheel treatment in Week 7 versus the Chicago Bears.
Davante is the WR7 in numberFire's Week 7 PPR rankings and our models project him for 12.7 FanDuel points, 8.7 targets, 5.5 receptions, and 75.3 yards. The Bears are 18th in FanDuel points allowed per game to wide receivers this season and their pass defense is ranked second-worst in numberFire's opponent-adjusted NEP model.
