Davante Adams caught 10 of 17 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in his debut with the team. Adams was simply dominant in this one, showing his usual elite route-running ability while churning yards after the catch. He saw 11 more targets than any other Raiders pass-catcher and was quarterback
Derek Carr's go-to option in all situations. While we wondered how Adams would fare without
Aaron Rodgers, he showed that his fantasy value is quarterback-proof. Even in what was an overall lackluster performance from the offense, the first-time Raider showed what fantasy managers can expect all season. This offense will continue to revolve around the elite WR1, and so will fantasy teams.

Davante Adams has looked smooth during the team's offseason program and has almost exclusively lined up outside and has worked from the left and right sides of the field. Adams played with quarterback
Derek Carr at Fresno State and they also worked out together during several offseasons, so it hasn't taken them long to get used to each other again. Adams drew most of his targets from quarterback
Aaron Rodgers in the slot last year with the Packers, but he should spend the vast majority of his time out wide with his new team with
Hunter Renfrow manning the slot. The 29-year-old five-time Pro Bowler has great chemistry with Carr, though, and he should remain a strong WR1 target for fantasy managers in 2022.

Davante Adams compared quarterback
Derek Carr to his former signal-caller in Green Bay in
Aaron Rodgers. "As far as talent and ability, it's really similar, if I'm keeping it real," Adams said. "They throw the ball a lot different. Derek's gonna fire it in there, and you gonna know that thing's coming quick. Aaron's got the ability to tighten that core up and flick that ball to you." Carr is coming off a career-high 4,804 passing yards on 428 completions in 2021 while leading the team to their first playoff berth in five years. The 31-year-old could be even better this year with Adams in town, potentially making him a solid low-end QB1 in fantasy.
