The Las Vegas Raiders have a matchup they have to exploit on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. They have the best receiver in the game in Davante Adams, so nearly any cornerback put in the league is a mismatch for the All-Pro.
The Saints are more than banged up when it comes to the health of their roster. In fact, they have had the most injuries in the league throughout the season and definitely have had the most influential injuries in terms of starting players being hurt.
So far for Sunday's game, the Saints' best cornerback, and one of the league's best in Marshon Lattimore, has been ruled out, and one of their best corners besides Lattimore in Paulson Adebo is questionable, per the Saints' official injury report.
In other words, there are going to be some mismatches that Davante Adams can exploit, and one national media outlet thinks so too and predicts that's exactly what will happen.
Raiders' Adams predicted by PFF to have a huge game due to matchup
Pro Football Focus does all kinds of advanced stats, and one thing they also do is a grade based on the matchup advantage. The grade is capped at 100, but Adam's grade sits at 92.8 in terms of the advantage he has over the Saints' secondary.
This can also mean that PFF thinks Davante Adams will have a huge game on Sunday.
So far this year, Adams is sixth in receiving yards in the league with 509, and that will likely change with the way the matchup is looking on Sunday. With an obliterated secondary, it's very likely we see a huge game for the best receiver in football.
