What It Means:

Pelissero says Adams' hamstring strain is "considered minor" but that the Packers may opt to err on the side of caution at the beginning of a long season. Adams was limited to just 3 catches (3 targets) for 36 yards in Week 2 because of the injury after racking up 17 targets for 156 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the opener. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard will both be in line for larger workloads if Adams is held out against the Saints. Aaron Jones should also benefit after leading the Packers in all receiving categories in Week 2 with Adams banged up.

Adams is currently the WR3 in numberFire's Week 3 fantasy rankings. He has a salary of $8,600 and our models expect him to score 16.2 FanDuel points with 11.7 targets, 7.4 catches, and 88.0 yards. The Saints rank 15th in pass defense, per our advanced metrics.
