1. Davante Adams will go over 200 yards receiving

Adams had a respectable outing against the Steelers last week but it was actually Randall Cobb that led the Packers in receiving yards. Adams will correct that anomaly this Sunday.

Look for Adams to get going early and often against the Cincinnati secondary. He’ll start the game by catching a lot of short and intermediate routes before expanding his route tree down the field. Expect him to catch one long touchdown pass to help Green Bay break this game open.

Add it all up and it’ll be the sort of standout day that Adams is used to. He’ll catch something in the neighborhood of 10 balls while racking up just over 200 yards receiving on the afternoon. Packers fans take that kind of production for granted, but Cincinnati supporters will feel the pain caused by Adams acutely this week.

Ravens need to start protecting Lamar Jackson. dark. Next

Rodgers will need to throw the ball at least 40 times to earn a comfortable victory this week. That means Adams will get a ton of targets. He’s a great play in Daily Fantasy this week as he should explode against the Bengals.
