News: The Raiders placed defensive back Phillip Adams on season-ending injured reserve Friday after suffering a groin injury in his previous game. Oakland elevated fellow defensive back Cory Nelms from the practice squad to take his spot on the active roster.
Analysis: Adams registered a tackle in only 10 of the 15 games he played this season as he posted a total of 15 stops. He also had two interceptions, which represented a career high for the 24-year-old. Fantasy owners should continue to leave Adams on waivers at this point.
News: Raiders defensive back Phillip Adams was forced to exit Sunday’s game against the Panthers early in Week 16, after he suffered a groin injury in the second half. He was unable to return, finishing without a statistic recorded.
Analysis: Adams has barely made an impact this season, with just 14 tackles on the year. He does have a pair of interceptions, however that is about all there is to note for him. He has no Fantasy value in any IDP formats, even when healthy.
News: Raiders defensive back Phillip Adams made his first impact of the season in Week 14 against the Broncos. He racked up a season-high five tackles in the game, while bringing in his second interception in as many games, in a 26-13 loss. The Raiders’ secondary was hit hard by injuries, which forced Adams to play more than normal.
Analysis: Entering the game, Adams had eight tackles on the season, with no multi-tackle games. He may be forced to play more down the stretch, but his track record does not suggest that he will be a useful Fantasy IDP option.

Analysis: In 15 games for the 49ers, Adams had just 13 tackles. He's more of a special teams player than every-down defensive back. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should ignore Adams on Draft Day 2011.
News: 49ers DB Phillip Adams was carted off the field in Week 16 against the Rams and did not return. He broke his left ankle blocking on the kickoff to open the second half. He finished with one tackle before being forced from the game.
Analysis: Adams' injury looked to be fairly serious so his season could be done with just one game left to go. He has 13 tackles on the year with one pass defended but mainly sees playing time on special teams. Leave Adams on waivers heading into the final week of the season.
