In terms of receiving yards, Davante Adams is 13th among other receivers with 471 yards. Through six games, he has been targeted 9.8 times per contest and is 12th in fantasy points at his position.

Bears vs. Raiders Predictions

From the time the lines were first released, Las Vegas has transitioned from -1.5 point favorites to their current line of -2.5 on the road. 

This is a very interesting game between two teams that have suffered injuries to crucial positions. Even though they are on the road, it feels like the Raiders are in a better position to win this game and cover the spread by relying on superstars like Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs to put points on the board.
