2022 Fantasy Outlook
Adams is the only NFL player who plays his particular position, one that makes him something
like a hybrid between a safety and a 3-4 outside linebacker. It requires some accommodation by
the Seahawks scheme but Adams’ IDP investors don’t mind. As long as his recovery from a torn
shoulder labrum surgery continues well, Adams should be good for about seven tackles per
game and at least a few sacks. Read Past Outlooks

Return timeline still unclear
Adams' (quadriceps) status remains uncertain, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Adams played in just one game before suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury last year. "He's doing well," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday. "He's working his tail off. We want to be really careful with this. It's been two years in a row where he's been banged up now." Seattle traded for Adams in July 2020 and he went on to set a NFL record for sacks as a defensive back (9.5), but he's appeared in just 25 games overall in the past three seasons.

The Seahawks tried to turn Adams into something like a safety-edge defender hybrid last year, and for IDP purposes it certainly worked. Adams' 9.5 sacks in 784 snaps is downright bizarre for a safety, though definitely fruitful for IDP leagues. As much as you can't argue with the per-week upside, it's slightly concerning that Adams hurt both shoulders during the year, requiring labrum surgery in the left one, and in addition to that, a groin injury cost him five weeks (four games) early in the year. If he stays healthy, Adams is a reliable DB1.
