Green Bay Packers: 5 Bold predictions for Week 9 vs. 49ers

3. Davante Adams posts another 150-yard game

Despite playing in only five games this season, Davante Adams is comfortably the leading receiver on the Packers roster. He has 43 receptions on 58 targets with 502 yards and seven touchdowns. For a player who has missed two games due to injury, those numbers are pretty eye-popping. But the truth is that Adams has just been unstoppable in this passing offense.

Even though the Packers passing offense was shut down a bit due to the weather last week with only 53 yards, he still had three touchdowns. The week before that, he had 13 catches for 196 yards and two scores. And in Week 1, Adams had 14 receptions for 156 yards and another two scores. Point being, he’s not afraid of tearing up the box score.

For my money, no cornerback in the league can cover Adams consistently but especially not a San Francisco group that is banged up and has questions to begin with. Throw in the fact that the 49ers pass-rush isn’t nearly at the level that it was last season and Adams should have plenty of time to get open and for Aaron Rodgers to find him.

The result is going to be another 150-yard game for Adams, which will be the third of the season, giving him 150 yards in half of the games that he’ll have played this year. He has a case for being the NFL’s best wide receiver and Week 9 in primetime will only further prove that.
