AFC Notes: Davante Adams, J.K. Dobbins, Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders

Chargers

Chargers OC Greg Roman described how they will handle the RB room with J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards.

โ€œWe donโ€™t overthink that,โ€ Roman said, via the teamโ€™s YouTube. โ€œTheyโ€™re both going to play and whoeverโ€™s got the hot hand, as I tell them, has got the hot hand. So, weโ€™re going to go with the hot hand. And they know that and they get that. Really nothing scientific.โ€

Chiefs

Chiefs HC Andy Reid isnโ€™t worried about the occasional struggles for second-round LT Kingsley Suamataia.

โ€œIโ€™m sure thereโ€™ll be some ups and downs as he goes, like any young player has,โ€ Reid said, via Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star. โ€œBut heโ€™s prepared himself, and itโ€™s time to go play now.โ€

Raiders

Raiders WR Davante Adams refuted the statement DeSean Jackson made that he was unhappy in Las Vegas.

โ€œAt the end of the day, the facts are the facts and that is not a fact,โ€ Adams said, via ESPN. โ€œIโ€™ve probably spoken to DeSean Jackson maybe three or four times in my life, and I never had a conversation with him [about this], ever. And I put that on my kids. Iโ€™ve never spoken to him about anything.โ€

Jackson stated that Adams was unhappy with the teamโ€™s quarterback situation and wanted to play with a true difference-maker at the position.

โ€œI mean, youโ€™ve got Gardner Minshew, thatโ€™s actually been named the starting quarterback this year,โ€ Jackson said. โ€œThis year is going to be tough. They donโ€™t have the quarterback that they want. I know they wanted to get a quarterback in that draft, and they couldnโ€™t get their guy. So, obviously, they kind of defaulted to who they have. This oneโ€™s tough because me and Davante, weโ€™ve talked and man, I hate to do it, I donโ€™t want to be the guy thatโ€™s like, โ€˜Oh, DJax said this and said that.โ€™ But at the end of the day, he is unhappy. I mean, you go from Aaron Rodgers, then you come to the Las Vegas Raiders and now not only Jimmy G [Garoppolo], you had your boy [Derek] Carr. It didnโ€™t really work out โ€ฆ from the Fresno State days, right? You think they would come back and work everything out and it just quite didnโ€™t work out. So now, I just donโ€™t think heโ€™s really that happy there.โ€œ
