Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Davante Adams' fantasy football value ahead of the 2021 season. Adams hasn't always been thought of as a legit top-five NFL wide receiver, but he was undoubtedly the No. 1 player at his position in 2020. This is largely thanks to his status as the league's single-best route-running technician. Of course, Aaron Rodgers has certainly made life productive for Adams as well, and fantasy investors would love to have No. 12 back under center in 2021 and beyond. The good news for Adams: we have an eight-game stretch from 2017 that proves he's capable of still returning WR1 value without Rodgers under center. Ian believes the 2020 version of Adams is better, Jordan Love should be an upgrade over Brett Hundley, and we're looking at more condenced target share this time around. The podcast concludes with Ian's specific ranking for Adams with or without Rodgers as well as a hat tip to those in the fantasy community willing to put charity money where their mouth is.
