How to handle Davante Adams injury in Week 6 fantasy football

The Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, and they will be without playmaker Davante Adams in Week 6. The wide receiver is dealing with a turf toe injury and will miss his second straight game. He is not sure when he’ll return from the injury, and so fantasy owners are left waiting and wondering.

Adams missed last week’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, but he was hardly missed thanks to the ground game. Aaron Jones rushed for 107 yards and four touchdowns, but he also led the team with seven receptions for 75 yards. Among their wide receivers, Geronimo Allison had two receptions for 28 yards, Marquez Valdes-Scantling had one reception for 18 yards, and Jake Kumerow had one reception for nine yards.
