2024 Fantasy Outlook
QB Derek Carr may have been a disappointment for the Saints last year, but he was missed back in Las Vegas, where Adams finished 372 yards and six touchdowns shy of his 2022 numbers despite playing all 17 games again. The veteran wideout was still useful for fantasy (15.6 PPR average) thanks to the second-highest target rate in the league (31.5 percent of routes), but his catch rate fell south of 60 percent for a second straight season and unlike in 2022 he couldn't make up for it with a smattering of long-distance scores. dropping from 15.2 yards per catch to 11.1. Adams' 55 targets between 10 and 19 yards downfield were a league high, with his 477 yards on those passes placing sixth. He was also Top 10 for both targets and yards on short passes, but the downfield stuff was a complete disaster with just five catches for 164 yards and two TDs on 27 passes 20-plus yards downfield (11th most targets, 55th most yards) even though Adams didn't drop any of them. That's not the best advertisement for Jimmy Garoppolo and Aidan O'Connell, especially after Adams had 593 yards (third most) and nine TDs (league high) on a league-high-tying 38 deep targets in 2022. Positive regression in 2024 is certainly possible and would bring Adams back into the fantasy WR1 territory he occupied from 2018-122, but it can't be assumed when talking about a 31-year-old receiver who still has QB concerns. Offseason signing Gardner Minshew, while probably an upgrade on O'Connell, would still be one of the lesser starting QBs in the league and leave both Adams and fellow WR Jakobi Meyers with efficiency concerns.

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.

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).
