Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, one of the top WRs in the NFL, needs help to overcome the attention he receives from defenses, limiting his performance last season.

By the Numbers
  • Adams had 175 targets in 2023 but only recorded 1,144 receiving yards.
  • Adams' yards per game (67.3) in 2023 were his lowest since 2017.
  • He was double-teamed on 148 receiving snaps, targeted 35 times in tight coverage, and the Raiders ranked fifth-fewest in deep receiving yards last year.
Yes, But

Raiders' quarterback play and limited offensive weapons also contributed to Adams' lack of efficiency.

State of Play
  • In his third year with the team, Adams faces challenges due to the lack of speed in the Raiders' offense.
  • The upcoming 2024 NFL Draft presents an opportunity for the Raiders to enhance their wide receiver room.
What's Next

The Raiders must consider adding speed to their offense to create opportunities for Adams and improve his efficiency, potentially utilizing their draft picks wisely.

Bottom Line

Enhancing the Raiders' wide receiver options could significantly benefit Adams, elevating his performance and overall impact on the team.
