Yahoo Sports NFL on Davante Adams
From the article
He was tremendous in that role against the Giants, posting eight receptions for 195 yards and two touchdowns, his best game since joining the Rams last year... Davante Adams has run 70 routes against Surtain in four games, 40 of which have come with man coverage. 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 dominated Giants but faces Surtain; best receiver matchup vs. elite corner historically.
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 matchup in Week 3 against Patrick Surtain II, the 2024 AP Defensive Player of the Year, who has not allowed a downfield reception in his last 213 coverage snaps. However, Adams has the best career numbers against Surtain of any receiver: 13 receptions for 172 yards and 2 touchdowns on 22 targets across 70 routes in four games (2022–2023). The source notes that while downfield opportunities will be more limited against Surtain, Adams' technical route-running ability and separation skills suggest he can still produce, likely through more intermediate and underneath routes rather than vertical concepts.
