Why Davante Adams may regret Las Vegas Raiders switch

#3 - Diminishing weapons

When Adams originally joined the Raiders in 2022, he lined up alongside Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow as the main pass-catchers.

However, Waller was traded to the New York Giants during his offseason, and Renfrow also looks to be on the way out of Allegiant Stadium. Adams may be asked to do too much with extremely little help in 2023.

#2 - AFC West

Davante Adams and the Las Vegas Raiders have the unfortunate task of playing in arguably the toughest division in football.

They face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, as well as the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos.

The three QBs they face twice are Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Russell Wilson. It doesn't get much tougher than that.

#1 -Strength of schedule

The Raiders enter 2023 after a dissapointing 6-11 campaign in 2022, but they might struggle to match that in 2023.

They have the 10th toughest strength of schedule for 2023, and will face some heavyweights across the NFL.

They begin 2023 with a trip to the Sean Payton-led Broncos before another away game against Super Bowl challenger the Buffalo Bills.

A tough start doesn't get much easier with clashes against Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets and Adams' former team the Green Bay Packers also on the schedule.
