Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers returned from a concussion in Week 3, catching seven of 12 targets for 85 receiving yards on Sunday night.

Meyers and the Raiders have a date with the Chargers in Week 4.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is good to go to play in the Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the team's home opener on Sunday Night Football. Meyers was able to clear the league's concussion protocol and returned to a full practice on Thursday, setting the stage for him to return after missing the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old made a nice impression in his debut for the Raiders in the season opener, catching nine of his 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns before suffering a concussion. He'll return to the No. 2 role behind Davante Adams against Pittsburgh and is back on the fantasy radar as a WR4/flex option for managers this weekend.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and was a full participant in practice on Thursday for the first time since suffering the head injury in the season opener, when he went for a game-high nine catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns before getting hurt. Meyers is on track to play on Sunday night in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the team's home opener after missing the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. With the 26-year-old back, he should once again be the No. 2 option for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo behind star wideout Davante Adams. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect big games like Meyers had in Week 1 every week, but he'll be back in play as a WR4/flex option in fantasy lineups in Week 3.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was able to return for a limited practice session on Wednesday. That was good news after Meyers missed the Week 2 matchup versus the Buffalo Bills due to a concussion. Luckily, it appears Meyers is heading in the right direction ahead of the Week 3 contest versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meyers was upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice. Barring any setbacks, Meyers should be back on the field this weekend. He should be in the WR3 conversation, assuming he's back to full health.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing all of practice and the Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills last week. Meyers was in the concussion protocol all of last week, but participation in the middle of this week is a good sign. The former Patriot caught nine passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns in his Raiders debut in Week 1, so he might have more fantasy value than projected heading into the 2023 campaign. Assuming he plays in Week 3, he makes for an intriguing flex play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is "headed in the right direction" as he progresses through the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Josh McDaniels. It remains to be seen if Meyers can play in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night after missing the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. In the season-opening win over the division-rival Denver Broncos, the 26-year-old had a great game, catching nine passes on 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns. Meyers' practice status this week will give us a better idea of whether he'll have any shot at playing this Sunday night. Hunter Renfrow was unable to take advantage of Meyers being out in a tough Week 2 matchup in Buffalo.
Sep 18, 2023 7:25 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and has officially been ruled out for Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills after initially being ruled as doubtful to play. Meyers had a successful debut with the Raiders in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos and caught two touchdown passes, but he took a helmet-to-helmet hit late in the contest and now will miss Week 2. Fantasy managers should be removing him from their starting lineups for this weekend. Top wideout Davante Adams could be busy in a tough road matchup against the Bills and is a must-start WR1, while Hunter Renfrow now becomes a lot more interesting as a DFS sleeper play with Meyers set to be inactive. Tight ends Austin Hooper and rookie Michael Mayer should have bigger roles as well.
Sep 15, 2023 7:42 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol on Friday and is doubtful to play in Week 2 in Buffalo against the Bills after not practicing all week. Meyers took a hit to the head late in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos and has been in the concussion protocol ever since. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old after he caught both of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's touchdown passes in the season opener. Fantasy managers that were planning on using him in their starting lineups this weekend will now have to pivot. Top wideout Davante Adams should see even more looks, as well as Hunter Renfrow and tight ends Austin Hooper and Michael Mayer.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Meyers took a shot to the head late in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos and is in danger of missing the Week 2 road contest in Buffalo against the Bills this Sunday. The 26-year-old still has two days to gain clearance, but right now it's not looking good for him. In his Raiders debut last weekend, Meyers was a favorite of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, catching nine of 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns. If he cannot get cleared in time for Sunday's game, Hunter Renfrow and Kristian Wilkerson should see expanded roles behind No. 1 wideout Davante Adams in a tough matchup.
Sep 14, 2023 6:27 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels told reporters on Wednesday that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers remains in the league's concussion protocol. It means that Meyers won't practice on Wednesday and is very much up in the air for a Week 2 meeting with the Buffalo Bills on the road. The good news is that he still has time to get cleared for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old had a great showing to kick off the season in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos, catching nine of his 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns. Meyers should be scooped up immediately if he's on your league's waiver wire. If he's unable to get the green light to play this Sunday in Buffalo, Hunter Renfrow and Kristian Wilkerson would have bigger roles behind Davante Adams in the passing game.
Sep 13, 2023 11:24 AM EST
Updating from a previous post, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) entered concussion protocol on Monday. The former New England Patriots wideout caught nine passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos but was being evaluated for concussion shortly after the game. NFL teams take precautions with head injuries more than ever before, so he could be at risk of missing the Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers should check back for further updates. If he does miss Week 2, Davante Adams, DeAndre Carter, and the Raiders' stable of running backs could see more targets.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (head) is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit late in Sunday's victory over the Denver Broncos. Depending on the results, Meyers could be in danger of missing Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran receiver put together a solid outing in Week 1, catching nine passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns in his Las Vegas debut.

Sep 11, 2023 9:04 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had a stellar debut for his new team, catching nine of 10 targets for 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns during the team's 17-16 win against the Broncos on Sunday. It was the first two-touchdown game of Meyers' career, who showed instant rapport with new QB Jimmy Garoppolo. The 26-year-old left the game in the fourth quarter with a head injury after a hard hit from DB Kareem Jackson over the middle of the field. Meyers did not return to the game. He will likely enter the league's concussion protocol this week, putting his status for Week 2 against the Bills in doubt. If healthy, Meyers can be treated as a low-end WR3 next week.
