Adams is recovering from a concussion he sustained in Week 15. That kept him out in Week 16, but it did not keep him from signing a monster extension with the Packers.
That made it all but a lock that the Packers would not risk their big investment in a meaningless Week 17 game. They also ruled out Jordy Nelson, so Randall Cobb figures to get a major workload this week.
But regardless of who gets all the targets this week, it was clear Adams became Green Bay’s top receiver over the course of this season. He was a top-10 fantasy scorer among receivers for much of the season, but multiple injuries will end up costing him two games this season.
Fantasy Impact: Detroit is allowing the 13th-fewest fantasy points to receivers this season. Cobb is a worthy flex play this week.
