Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught just four passes on six targets for 28 yards and rushed for an additional 28 yards, netting him 8.8 PPR points in fantasy football on the week as his team fell to the Miami Dolphins 19-34. It was a quieter day than usual for Meyers, and he had less than half the target volume of teammate tight end Brock Bowers. Meyers is the clear WR1 of this team, but he was handled effectively by Dolphins quarterback Jalen Ramsey and his fellow defensive backs. Things won't get any easier in Week 11, when Las Vegas has a date with the Denver Broncos -- cornerback Patrick Surtain II is elite and is licking his chops at a chance to lock down Meyers. He's a risky start next week, as are all WRs that face the Broncos.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has had back to back games of double-digit PPR fantasy point performances, racking up 17.2 points in Week 8 and following that up with 18.5 in Week 9. He'll be well-rested after his Week 10 bye when he faces the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in a Week 11 contest featuring two teams with losing records. Meyers will square off at least part of the time with highly-accomplished cornerback Jalen Ramsey in a must-win for Miami, who has a glimmer of playoff hope left. It will be a tough test, but the sixth-year pro should be started in PPR leagues due to his excellent target volume -- he's had 18 targets in his last two games. Treat him as a WR2 for fantasy purposes.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was the clear No. 1 receiver for the team in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He hauled in eight of 11 targets for 105 yards on the day, and was the most targeted Raiders offensive player. He consistently won on his routes and has earned 54 targets over his seven games played this season, making him a reliable fantasy option and a solid WR2 in PPR fantasy leagues. It's unlikely he'll cede many targets moving forward, considering that he's now the top dog in the wideout room. He'll have time to rest whatever remains of his previous ankle injury, as he has a bye week coming up. In Week 11, he'll continue his leading role against the Miami Dolphins with an extra week of rest under his belt.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday and is expected to play in his Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Meyers continues to be one of the most underrated wideouts in football, likely because of his poor quarterback situation. He caught six passes on seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. He'll face a softer Bengals defenses that isn't quite as lockdown against receivers. He had solid production before garbage time against the Chiefs, making his game more impressive. He's an easy WR3/FLEX starter with WR2 upside in PPR fantasy leagues this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quad) and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) were both listed as limited participants for the team's first practice of the week. White logged just two snaps in the team's 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, and the quad ailment could be the reason why. It's the second injury that's hampered his playing time this month after he suffered a groin injury that held him out of Weeks 5 and 6. Meyers, on the other hand, returned in Week 8 from an ankle injury that kept him out of Weeks 6 and 7, and this may be just a day of rest for the veteran. The 27-year-old played 81% of snaps in the loss to the Chiefs, catching 6-of-7 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. He's worth monitoring ahead of the Raiders' Week 9 road tilt against the Cincinnati Bengals, while White will likely continue backing up backfield mate Alexander Mattison if he plays.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers looked healthy against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, his first game back from a two-week absence due to an ankle injury. He was targeted seven times by his quarterback, Gardner Minshew II, and hauled in six of those passes for 52 yards and the game's only non-garbage-time touchdown. He played reasonably well in the WR1 role left vacant by the departure of Davante Adams. He's the clear lead receiver for the team moving forward, though he faces substantial target competition from tight end Brock Bowers. He's a solid WR3/FLEX option with WR2 upside, depending on how the offense fares overall, ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Oct 28, 2024 10:24 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (abdomen) is officially active for Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. This will be Meyers' first game of the season without Davante Adams on the roster, but he did play two games when Adams was inactive earlier this year. In those two games, Meyers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and zero touchdowns. He should see significant volume as the Raiders' No. 1 receiver this week, but he's nothing more than a low-end WR3/FLEX versus a strong Chiefs defense.
Oct 27, 2024 3:04 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Myers has been burdened by an ankle issue, keeping him off the field for the Raiders' previous two contests. The 27-year-old hasn't had a terrible season, amassing 25 catches (36 targets) for 273 yards and a touchdown. Of course, the Raiders offense is hard to trust. However, assuming Meyers officially receives the green light, he warrants flex consideration. His anticipated return could mean fewer targets for Brock Bowers, who had 19 catches combined in the last two games. DJ Turner and Tre Tucker may also have a tough time staying involved with Meyers back on the field.
Oct 26, 2024 11:41 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially deemed questionable for Sunday's home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. If he suits up, it will be his first in-game action since Week 5, when he ripped off 72 yards on 6-of-9 receiving in the 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos. Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported earlier in the day that Meyers is expected to play, though the questionable designation contradicts that slightly. Still, a full practice session on Friday is undoubtedly a boon to his outlook. The 27-year-old will line up against one of the more staunch units in the league this weekend but projects to get a ton of work if he is healthy enough to play. He'll be a WR2/3 for the outing.
Oct 25, 2024 10:14 PM EST
Per head coach Antonio Pierce, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is expected to suit up for the team's Week 8 matchup. Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported the news. Meyers returned to practice on Wednesday after logging three DNPs the week prior but was listed as a non-participant on the Raiders' Thursday report. However, it was evidently just a day of rest for the 27-year-old. Las Vegas will undoubtedly benefit from his presence after he missed the last two contests with his ankle ailment. The former New England Patriot will slide back into his WR1 role for the team, pushing fellow wideouts DJ Turner and Tre Tucker back down the ranks. Meyers will return for a tough outing Sunday against the Raiders' division-rival Kansas City Chiefs.
Oct 25, 2024 3:08 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice session. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, but didn't practice at all on Thursday. It's possible that it was a rest day for Meyers, but that was not confirmed. This doesn't look good considering Meyers hasn't played in two weeks due to this ankle issue. The Raiders could desperately use Meyers with Davante Adams no longer with the team. If healthy, Meyers is the No. 1 option in the passing game and could carve out WR3 value against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2024 9:43 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), who has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, will return to practice on Wednesday. Meyers will likely be limited as he returns to practice, but it's improvement and could allow him to return to the field on game day this Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. If the 27-year-old is able to get the green light to return this weekend, he'll most likely operate as the WR1 for quarterback Gardner Minshew II, who will be taking over the starting role under center again now that Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is on Injured Reserve. Although the Raiders could be forced to throw plenty against KC, Meyers will be a shaky WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues, at best, if he plays in Week 8. In five games in 2024, he has 25 catches (36 targets) for 273 yards and a touchdown.
Oct 23, 2024 3:26 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as doubtful entering the weekend, so this update is not much of a surprise. The 27-year-old will miss his second consecutive game after starting the season with 25 catches, 273 yards, and one touchdown over the first five weeks. With Meyers sidelined and Davante Adams traded to the New York Jets, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner should handle additional opportunities in the passing game.
Oct 20, 2024 2:56 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful to play in Week 7 on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Antonio Pierce was hopeful that Meyers would play this weekend after he missed practice on Wednesday, but the 27-year-old pass-catcher wasn't able to get back on the practice field on Thursday and is now likely to miss his second straight game. After the Raiders traded away All-Pro receiver Davante Adams to the Jets this week, their receiving corps is brutally thin with Meyers also hurt. They will move forward with Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and rookie tight end Brock Bowers as their primary targets for quarterback Aidan O'Connell through the air. Tyreik McAllister and Kristian Wilkerson could also get more involved for the Raiders at wideout. At best, Tucker should be considered more of a WR5/flex in fantasy with Meyers likely out again.
Oct 18, 2024 3:27 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) sat out of practice for a second straight day this week on Thursday. Head coach Antonio Pierce said on Wednesday that he was hopeful that Meyers would play this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams despite missing Wednesday's practice, but two straight missed practices isn't a good sign. The 27-year-old will need to at least be limited in practice on Friday to have a shot to suit up in Week 7. It's especially concerning after Meyers missed the Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders are a mess right now after trading All-Pro wideout Davante Adams to the Jets this week. If Meyers misses a second straight game, look for Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and rookie tight end Brock Bowers to lead the team in aerial targets.
Oct 17, 2024 8:04 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. However, head coach Antonio Pierce said that he's hopeful Meyers will be able to suit up against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. It's interesting to see Pierce's optimism given that Meyers missed his first practice of the week, but that certainly doesn't preclude him from progressing and playing on Sunday. There's suddenly extra attention on Meyers, who is the Raiders' No. 1 wide receiver now that Davante Adams has been traded to the New York Jets. Meyers should be evaluated as a mid-to-low WR3/FLEX in most fantasy leagues.
Oct 17, 2024 12:42 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) has officially been named inactive for the team's Week 6 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Davante Adams (hamstring) has also been ruled out so the team will roll with a very thin receiver group. Tre Tucker and DJ Turner will likely be the top two receivers while Brock Bowers is going to get all the snaps he can handle. This also comes at the time of Aidan O'Connell's first start of the year.
Oct 13, 2024 2:57 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is bad news for the Raiders offense with Davante Adams (hamstring) already being ruled out. It could be an extremely busy day for tight end Brock Bowers. The absence of both Adams and Meyers would turn Tre Tucker into the WR1 on this roster. He figures to see heavy usage as well, so he should be a solid streaming choice. DJ Turner and Tyreik McAllister would be behind Tucker and Bowers on the pecking order.
Oct 12, 2024 6:17 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for the Week 6 game this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Davante Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for the third straight game, so if Meyers is also unable to gain clearance to play, the Raiders would be down to Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and Tyreik McAllister in three-receiver sets. Rookie first-round Brock Bowers should have a high target floor yet again with Adams out. Meyers missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before putting in a limited session on Friday. If he's able to play, the 27-year-old will serve as the team's WR1 for the third straight week. In the last two games with Adams out, Meyers has caught 11 of 19 targets for 121 yards and no touchdowns. Right now, he's shaping up as a shaky WR3/flex for fantasy managers because of his questionable status, especially with Vegas' game coming in the later window on Sunday.
Oct 11, 2024 6:07 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) received a DNP tag for his first practice opportunity of the week, but "seems fine," per Vic Tafur of The Athletic. It's a new injury for Meyers, but evidently, fantasy managers have nothing to worry about for now. Star wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) also remained a non-participant, and DJ Turner (hamstring) and Tyreik McAllister (shoulder) were both limited. Tre Tucker is currently the only Las Vegas wideout without a designation. If Meyers can play, he'll resume his role as the de facto WR1 for the team in stead of Adams. If he can't, Tucker will be an upside mid-to-low-end WR3, with he and rookie tight end sensation Brock Bowers in line for elevated usage. The Raiders will get a difficult matchup when they host the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.
