The original plan for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams was to see a moderate increase in playing time and targets as the team's third receiver. That all changed when incumbent starter Jordy Nelson was lost for the year due to a torn ACL in the preseason. Adams is now forced to step in as the team's starter opposite Randall Cobb in his second season. What kind of production should fantasy owners expect from him in Week 1?
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 1: Davante Adams
The Packers receiver has a golden opportunity. What should you expect from him in Week 1?
Fantasy Impact: Situations don't get much better than Adams has it right now. The sophomore is taking over the spot in one of the NFL's most potent offenses that allowed Nelson to finish the year with a 98/1,519/13 line. The league's best quarterback in Aaron Rodgers hasn't gone anywhere, which leaves the talented Adams with mouth-watering upside. Factor in the projected bottom-five defense he'll be facing in the Chicago Bears, and owners should feel safe firing up Adams as a WR3 with plenty of upside for more.
