Davante Adams is the WR7 by average points. Let that sink in for a moment. Davante Adams, he of the 9.7 yards per reception in 2015. He of the “bench this bum for Jeff Janis.” He of the everything that is wrong with the Green Bay Packers is averaging more fantasy points than all but six wide receivers with five games to go.
How did we get here? Adams got healthy. Plagued by injury, Adams missed three games last season, and was limited for at least twice that many. The fantasy community — myself included — took that to mean he was bad.
