It’s not a great matchup for Davante Adams – playing on the road against a really tough San Francisco defense – but he’s enough of a go-to guy that he’s a candidate to be this week’s most productive wide receiver. He’s more heavily featured than any other pass catcher who’s still playing.
Adams missed a month of the regular season, but when he was playing he accounted for 36 percent of Green Bay’s receiving yards. That was the 4th-highest ratio in the league.
The two leaders – and this is really weird – came from the same team. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both accounted for over 42 percent of the receiving yards for the Bucs. (And again, this is when they were both playing – 13 game for Evans, and 14 for Godwin.)
Only one other player in the top 10 is still playing, and he’ll be in the same game on Sunday – George Kittle of the 49ers.
The chart here shows Adams, along with all players who finished the season with a least 1,000 receiving yards.
