2020 Defense Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Adams' specific projection will depend on where he plays, and the ongoing tension with the Jets front office raises the possibility of him moving elsewhere before Week 1. As much as he's flashed major IDP utility during his NFL career, there are better playing situations for production. Adams is one of the league's most effective safeties, but in three seasons with the Jets he has 273 tackles over 3,201 snaps, averaging only about 85 tackles per 1,000 snaps. Adams' IDP owners might actually hope for a trade so that he might go somewhere with more tackle opportunity, but even if that doesn't happen he'll offer a DB2 floor at DB1 upside with the Jets. That's because he offers uncommon playmaking potential, totaling 12 sacks in three years while defending 25 passes. That passes defended number raises another change-of-scenery point: Adams would probably intercept more passes on a defense with a better pass rush. Read Past Outlooks

Not making progress on contract
Adams and the Jets have reached an impasse in contract talks, ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old safety wants a new deal before Week 1 of his fourth pro season, while the Jets prefer to wait on a long-term extension. The team exercised its fifth-year option on Adams, who has averaged 70 tackles, 8.3 pass defenses, four sacks and two forced fumbles per season since he was picked sixth overall in the 2017 draft. The Jets reportedly have no desire to trade him, though Cimini suggests that more than half the teams in the NFL have reached out to the them to express interest. Adams is due to make $3.5 million this year and approximately $9.9 million under the fifth-year option in 2021.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
Adams followed a mediocre, 83-tackle rookie season with big numbers in 2018, easily surpassing triple-digit tackles while posting encouraging coverage metrics. His snap count in both seasons seem unsustainable - 2,203 snaps between them - but last year's production rates would still put him on track for roughly 100 tackles even if the snap count drops to 1,000. Adams eases the concern of tackle regression with blitzing and fumble production, totaling five sacks, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in his first two seasons.
