One of the most compelling matchups this weekend between the Seahawks and Raiders will be when Davante Adams is lined up across from Tariq Woolen. Adams is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, while Woolen is a strong candidate to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Earlier this week Adams praised Woolen, saying he respects what he’s seen on tape from him so far.
#Raiders WR Davante Adams, on #Seahawks rookie CB Tariq Woolen: "He looks good on tape. He's a big, much taller corner than what's normal in the league…sure to be a fun matchup, but I've got respect for what I've seen on tape so far, for sure."

For the season, Adams has posted 64 catches, 925 yards and 10 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Woolen has five interceptions and has only allowed a 59.7 passer rating when targeted. Woolen has a size advantage, while Adams has the experience.
