Davante Adams

Adams hasn't been quite as explosive in Las Vegas as he was in past years with the Packers. But how much is he missed in Green Bay?

[per PFF](https://premium.pff.com/nfl/positions/2021/REG/receiving-depth?position=WR&split=deep&minimum=20p), and he was tied for the highest grade on the depth at 99.9. [Based on overall PFF grades entering Week 5](https://www.pff.com/nfl/grades/position/wr), Adams ranks as the 13th-highest receiver in the NFL at 77. No receiver has been targeted more in the end zone than Adams this season. The Packers don't have a receiver with multiple contested catches this season. [According to ProFootballFocus](https://premium.pff.com/nfl/positions/2022/REGPO/receiving?position=WR&minimum=20p), he has no drops this season. While he has caught only 6 of 13 targets in the red zone, three of those catches have been for touchdowns, which is tied for the most of any receiver. This year, Cobb and Lazard have been the primary deep threats with target rates of 33.3 percent and 35.3 percent, respectively, and grades of 93.4 and 92.4 before the matchup to the Giants. Through the first four games, how has Adams compared to the receivers in Green Bay trying to fill that space? [according to Stathead](https://stathead.com/tiny/xtLxI), and his 26 receptions are the fewest since 2019, when he had 25. The result has been that Derek Carr received a clear top receiver in Las Vegas, while a vacuum for targets and production was created in Green Bay. Through their first four games together since 2013, Adams and Carr have connected on 26 passes for 290 yards with three touchdowns. Since 2018, Adams' first 1,000-yard receiving season, no player [has more receiving yards](https://stathead.com/tiny/dX580) than his 5,600.

"He was a hell of a player," Adams continued. "I mean, the Raiders have been his favorite team since he was a little kid, and it's kind of a dream come true. "At Fresno State he just continued to grow, and in the NFL, continuing to get better. "It was the first game, the last play of the first half," Adams said. "I was the backup 'X,'" Adams said. Adams debuted in the NFL three days later in Seattle, playing 18 snaps (nine on offense, nine on special teams) and did not have a pass thrown his way in the Packers' 36-16 loss to the Seahawks.
