When the Las Vegas Raiders brought in Davante Adams in the offseason, there was an expectation for him to be great.
Through week five, Adams is on pace to break some historical Raiders records, despite the team sitting at 1-4 and last place in the AFC West.
Here is a list of a couple of records Adams may break this season.
1.) Single-season receiving yards
The five-time Pro Bowler put up 414 receiving yards, through five games, which is almost exactly on pace to tie Tim Brown's record of 1,408 from 1996.
This sounds very achievable, especially considering that Adams was quiet for a few weeks before bursting for 100-plus-receiving-yard games in the last two contests.
2.) Single-season receiving touchdowns
Adams is on track to break the franchise's single-season record of receiving touchdowns, which was set by Art Powell in the 1963 season. He has 16.
So far, Adams does have five touchdowns through five games. Putting this record in the realm of feasibility for Adams.
