The power of twitter strikes again with this series of polarizing dynasty players submitted to @ChadParsonsNFL. Every year there are players with a range of market values in dynasty leagues. Whether in a startup draft or via trading, we as owners must take a stand on one side or the other. With each player, I will give some arguments for and against them, finalizing with a conclusion on whether to turn away, or embrace them, as dynasty assets.
In This Edition: Davante Adams

Glass Half-Full
- An injury away from being No.2 target in one of the best offenses (ever?) in NFL
- Only other WR to have 50+ rookie TGTs with Aaron Rodgers: Jordy Nelson
- Adams’ 7.2 AYA (Adjusted Yards-Per-Attempt) better than Jordy Nelson’s 5.9 as rookie
- Adams with +98% production score, best among all drafted ’14 WRs + all major conference ’15 WRs (including Amari Cooper’s outstanding +94%)
- Face weaker defensive backs with Nelson-Cobb also in fold
- Trust Green Bay’s GM Ted Thompson
- Aaron Rodgers factor
Glass Half-Empty
- Adams’ 7.2 AYA lowest for any Aaron Rodgers receiver with 50+ targets since 2012
- Jordy Nelson coming off career year, what if he sticks around for 2-3 years or more?
- No TE in offense allows for 3 startable FF receivers. What if Richard Rodgers develops?
- Talented competition in Jeff Janis
