Turf Show Times on Davante Adams
From the article
Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams dominated the New York Giants when pushing the ball...he was tremendous in that role against the Giants, posting eight receptions for 195 yards and two touchdowns...Instead, he will likely see a lot of Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II...Adams has been targeted 22 times in those matchups with 13 receptions for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Those are the best numbers for any receiver against Surtain in the cornerback's career.
STACKED’s take
Adams' downfield dominance vs. Giants faces elite Surtain, but historical edge supports production.
Adams posted 8 receptions for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Giants in Week 2, with 7 of 8 downfield targets (10+ air yards) caught for 191 yards and both scores. He faces a tougher Week 3 matchup against Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, the 2024 DPOY who has allowed only 3 receptions for 20 yards in 2 games and zero downfield receptions in his last 213 coverage snaps. However, Adams has historically dominated Surtain in their four prior matchups (2022–2023), posting 13 receptions for 172 yards and 2 touchdowns on 22 targets across 70 routes, the best numbers any receiver has posted against Surtain in his career. The source notes that while downfield opportunities will be more limited, Adams' technical route-running ability and separation skills give him a path to production even against elite coverage.
