Set to be UFA after six-TD season

Meyers (shoulder) caught three of seven targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: Meyers' two-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was reviewed, but the touchdown call stood after the replay official ruled that he managed to get both feet down in the back of the end zone. The pending unrestricted free agent finishes the season on a three-game touchdown streak, raising his season totals to 67 catches, 804 yards and six touchdowns on 96 targets. Meyers was targeted 222 times over the past two seasons, so New England would have a substantial vacancy to fill should Meyers sign elsewhere.

Suits up Sunday

Meyers (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Analysis: Meyers, who aggravated a shoulder injury during last week's win over the Dolphins, was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 18 availability confirmed, New England's top wide receiver should remain a key target for QB Mac Jones in a game that the team needs to win in order to secure a spot in the upcoming postseason. To date, Meyers has caught 64 of his 89 targets for 772 yards and five TDs, a rate of production that makes him the Patriots' most reliable pass-catcher from a fantasy perspective.

Listed as questionable

Meyers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis: During Week 17 action, Meyers aggravated a shoulder injury that he had previously dealt with, but given that he was able to practice this week, albeit in a limited capacity, we suspect that that the Patriots' top wide receiver will be available this weekend. In any case, Meyers' status will be confirmed in advance of the first batch of games Sunday, with New England kicking off at 1:00 ET.

Another limited practice

Meyers (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Analysis: At this stage, we'd be surprised if Meyers misses Sunday's game against the Bills, but unless the wideout practices fully Friday, he figures to head into the weekend with a Week 18 injury designation.

Logs limited practice

Meyers was limited at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Following this past weekend's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, Meyers suggested that he was "fine" after aggravating his shoulder injury during the contest. That said, unless he returns to a fully practice by Friday, the Patriots' top wide receiver figures to approach Sunday's game against the Bills with a Week 18 injury designation.

Downplays shoulder injury

Meyers suggested following Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins that he's "fine" after aggravating his shoulder injury during the contest, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis: Prior to his exit from Sunday's tilt, Meyers managed to catch six of his nine targets for 48 yards and a TD. While the wideout's post-game comments would seem to indicate that he plans to play next weekend against the Bills, we'd still expect Meyers' name to appear on the Patriots' Week 18 injury report.

Injures shoulder Sunday

Meyers exited Sunday's game against the Dolphins after suffering a shoulder injury.

Analysis: Before being forced out of the contest, Meyers had caught six of his nine targets for 48 yards and a TD. As long as he's sidelined, added snaps will be available for Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

Productive day in loss

Meyers secured six of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 22-18 loss to the Bengals on Saturday.

Analysis: Meyers tied Kendrick Bourne for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to him in receiving yards and targets. He also recorded a memorable touchdown grab with just over six minutes remaining when the ball was deflected at the goal line and landed in Meyers' hands for the score. The fourth-year wideout's reception and receiving yardage totals were his best since Week 8 and Week 5, respectively, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a critical Week 17 home showdown against the Dolphins on Sunday, Jan. 1.

Listed as active Saturday

Meyers (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Analysis: Meyers approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice this week, but he'll play through his shoulder issue and should continue to log enough snaps and targets to merit lineup consideration in PPR formats. That said, the Patriots' top wide receiver's fantasy ceiling Saturday hinges on signal-caller Mac Jones rebounding from a 112-yard passing effort in the team's Week 15 loss to the Raiders, a game in which Meyers caught two of his six targets for 47 yards.

Dec 24, 2022 8:53 AM EST


Expected to play Saturday

Meyers (shoulder) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Meyers is listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion Tuesday through Thursday, but Rapoport indicates that the wide receiver is trending toward being active versus Cincinnati. Official confirmation of Meyers' Week 16 status will arrive once the Patriots' inactives are posted ahead of Saturday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable

Meyers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals after practicing in a limited fashion Tuesday through Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis: We'd be surprised if Meyers isn't available this weekend, but his status is nonetheless worth verifying as Saturday's 1:00 kickoff approaches. Assuming he suits up, Meyers should see enough snaps and targets to merit lineup consideration in PPR formats, but his Week 16 upside hinges on QB Mac Jones bouncing back from a 112-yard passing effort in this past Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

Dec 22, 2022 3:12 PM EST


Limited by shoulder issue

Meyers (shoulder) was listed as limited at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Meyers moved past a concussion to suit up for this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders, logging a 62 percent snap share, while catching two of his six targets for 47 yards. A shoulder issue has limited him at practice this week, but we'd be surprised if Meyers missed Saturday's game against the Bengals, though there's still a solid chance the Patriots list him as questionable for the contest.

Dec 21, 2022 3:22 PM EST


Listed on injury report still

Meyers (concussion) is listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report estimate.

Analysis: It's an unusual move to list Meyers on the practice report after he cleared concussion protocol and played in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders. He did play somewhat less than usual -- 62 percent snap share, compared to 80-plus every week in the first half of the season -- but there was no report of any setback. Unless something is reported, Meyers should be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Dec 20, 2022 1:52 PM EST


Quiet day ends in disaster

Meyers caught two of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: The entire Patriots passing game struggled and Meyers wound up leading the team in receiving yards in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, but his performance was marred by a nightmarish ending -- with the score tied, the Patriots tried to produce a miracle touchdown on their final play, only for Meyers' attempted back pass to Mac Jones to wind up being grabbed by Chandler Jones instead, who rumbled the other way for the game-winning score. Meyers hasn't topped 62 yards in eight straight appearances, but he may need to be more productive in Week 16 as the Patriots try to keep up with Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Dec 18, 2022 5:55 PM EST


Returns to action Sunday

Meyers (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis: After finishing the week with a limited practice, Meyers will suit up Sunday, following a one-game absence due to a concussion he sustained versus the Bills on Dec. 1. With fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) inactive, barring any setbacks Meyers should reclaim his key pass-catching role in the Patriots Week 15 offense alongside Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton. Through 10 games to date, Meyers is averaging five catches (on 6.7 targets) for 59.3 yards, to go along with three TDs, a pace the keeps him on the fantasy radar, particularly in PPR formats.

Dec 18, 2022 11:46 AM EST


Trending toward return Sunday

The Patriots expect Meyers (concussion) to play Sunday against the Raiders, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Analysis: Meyers, who was inactive this past Monday against the Cardinals, is officially listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion Friday, but it looks as though he's trending toward a return to the lineup Sunday following a one-game absence. Official confirmation of the wide receiver's Week 15 status will arrive once the Patriots' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:05 ET kickoff.

Dec 17, 2022 9:13 AM EST


Listed as questionable for Week 15

Meyers (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis: Meyers closed out the week with a limited practice, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend following a one-game absence. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Look for added context with regard to Meyers' Week 15 status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, but if he's available, the 26-year-old would presumably be in line to reclaim a key role in a Patriots wideout corps that also includes Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

Dec 16, 2022 2:41 PM EST


Spotted at Friday's practice

Meyers (concussion) was present for the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Meyers was limited Wednesday before failing to practice Thursday, and the extent of his participation Friday has yet to be clarified. New England's No. 1 wide receiver will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up Sunday in Las Vegas.

Dec 16, 2022 12:57 PM EST


Gets downgrade to DNP

Meyers (concussion) officially didn't practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Analysis: Initially, Meyers was listed as limited for a second day in a row on New England's Week 15 injury report. However, the team updated Thursday's version later, making him a non-participant for the fourth time on five reports since being diagnosed with a concussion Week 13 against the Bills. Considering the mid-week downgrade, Meyers seemingly doesn't have a great chance to suit up Sunday at Las Vegas, with Friday's report revealing whether he enters the weekend with a designation or ruled out for a second consecutive contest.

Dec 15, 2022 4:08 PM EST


Stays limited at practice

Meyers (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Analysis: While Meyers was deemed a limited participant both Wednesday and Thursday, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has yet to practice this week. Considering that, Meyers seems more likely to play this weekend against the Raiders than Parker, but chances are he'll approach Sunday's 4:05 ET contest with a Week 15 injury designation.
