Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers walks into an immediate opportunity to dominate the target share as they face the Houston Texans in Week 10. Meyers joins a wide receiver room absent of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee). The Jaguars are averaging just 215.3 yards per game through the air, but Meyers' biggest competition for targets this week is 23-year-old Parker Washington. Trevor Lawrence and the offense face a tough test against a Texans defense that is allowing just 177.5 passing yards per game and ranks fourth with nine interceptions on the year. Meyers is a must-start option this week, as Lawrence tests out his new weapon on day one.

Jaguars reporter Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union said on a recent radio appearance that the price the team paid to acquire wide receiver Jakobi Meyers indicates that the team views him as more than just a rental. Jacksonville traded fourth and sixth-round draft picks to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Meyers on Tuesday. Meyers will provide immediate aid to a Jaguars wide receiver room that will be without Travis Hunter (knee) for at least three more games and could be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Dyami Brown (concussion) in Week 10. Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas this season. If O'Halloran is correct and Jacksonville plans to keep Meyers beyond 2025, his presence could be a slight negative for the dynasty value of Hunter and Thomas Jr.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for fourth and sixth-round draft picks, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Meyers has recorded 33 receptions for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas so far this season. He'll provide a much-needed talent infusion to the Jaguars' wide receiver room, which lost Travis Hunter (knee) to Injured Reserve before Week 9 and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) to an ankle injury during their Week 9 win. Meyers should slot in as either the WR1 or WR2 in Jacksonville, pending the health status of Thomas Jr. Meyers seemingly fell out of favor in recent weeks in Las Vegas, as he has not recorded more than four catches or 39 receiving yards in a game since Week 2. The 28-year-old was vocal about his desire to be traded away from the Raiders, so he may be rejuvenated by a fresh start in Jacksonville.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Las Vegas Raiders have "set a high price" on wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. It's no secret that the wideout wants to be traded. As expected, several teams have inquired about his availability in the trade market, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills seemingly the clubs with the most interest. It's unknown exactly what the Raiders are looking for in return. However, it appears there's still a chance he could be moved before the trade deadline. Meyers was targeted 22 times in the first two games of the 2025 campaign. Since then, he's seen 23 targets in his last four appearances while missing the Week 7 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. All things considered, Meyers may actually benefit from a change of scenery, considering Geno Smith has struggled.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is an interesting flex play heading into Week 9 despite looming trade rumors. Meyers has turned 43 targets into 29 receptions for 329 yards despite missing the team's Week 7 matchup with the Chiefs. The disgruntled receiver offers flex upside this week as the Raiders take on a banged-up Jaguars secondary. Meyers has one last game before the trade deadline, and could send a message to head coaches across the league with a big game Sunday. Look for the team to keep Meyers involved early, as the team tries to maximize their return on a potential deal on Tuesday.
Nov 1, 2025 5:26 PM EST
The Buffalo Bills are one of the teams with interest in acquiring current Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers ahead of the NFL's November 4 trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Diana Russini. Russini notes that Las Vegas has "set a high price" on Meyers. Across six games this season, the 28-year-old has recorded 29 catches for 329 yards on 43 targets. Meyers has also publicly expressed his desire to be traded as he plays out the final season of his current contract. A new home may help rejuvenate Meyers, who currently profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3. In Buffalo, he would likely join wideout Khalil Shakir as one of the top targets for Bills quarterback Josh Allen. If Meyers is eventually moved, wide receivers Tre Tucker and Jack Bech are the most likely candidates to see their roles in the Raiders offense expand.
Nov 1, 2025 12:40 PM EST
The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to find a trade partner for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said that he "wouldn't give up hope on this one just yet." The deadline for the Raiders to trade Meyers is next Tuesday, so they still have a bit of time to work something out with a contending NFL team looking to bolster their receiving corps. The Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been the teams most connected to the WR market in recent weeks. Meyers, who is having a disappointing 2025 campaign while working with quarterback Geno Smith, requested a trade early in the season and said recently that he's still open to being dealt. Vegas' recent acquisition of veteran Tyler Lockett gives them extra depth if they end up trading Meyers out of town, although Lockett still probably wouldn't have much fantasy appeal in that scenario.
Oct 30, 2025 7:23 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Meyers sat out of the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee issue. He appears to be ready to go in Week 9 after resting up during the bye week. Meyers has been a hot name on the trade market recently, but the Raiders have stated they want a strong return for the 28-year-old wideout. Meyers hasn't exactly impressed recently with four receptions or less in each of his last four games. Fantasy managers should consider Meyers a possible WR3 for the upcoming Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Oct 29, 2025 9:08 PM EST
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that teams he's talked to think that Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers possibly has the best chance of being dealt among available wide receivers at this year's trade deadline. The Raiders continue to receive interest in the seven-year veteran, and Fowler believes that the Raiders want a strong draft pick in return. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and Buffalo Bills are believed to be in the receiver market. Fowler predicts that if Meyers is moved before Tuesday's deadline, he will end up with the Steelers, who are seeking an upgrade behind WR1 DK Metcalf. The Raiders are clearly in a transitional phase, and Meyers has made it clear he wants out of Sin City. The Raiders just signed veteran Tyler Lockett, too, which would soften the blow of trading away Meyers. The 28-year-old has struggled with quarterback Geno Smith running the offense, catching only 29 passes for 329 yards and no touchdowns in 2025, so perhaps a change of scenery can get him going.
Oct 29, 2025 12:27 PM EST
Multiple NFL teams have "shown interest" in trading for Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who is in the final year of his contract and has publicly said he still wants to be traded, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. However, teams have "had a hard time getting a clear read on whether Las Vegas is truly willing to move him." The belief is that it would take at least "a Day 2 pick" for the Raiders to even consider moving him. The 28-year-old missed the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to knee and toe injuries, but he's expected to be ready to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 after a bye in Week 8. A change of scenery might be what Meyers needs to get going, as he has a 29-329-0 line through six games in 2025 while working with quarterback Geno Smith. If Meyers is traded, Tre Tucker and rookies Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech would start in three-wide sets for the Raiders.
Oct 27, 2025 3:24 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers hasn't been quiet about wanting to be traded. Despite that, the Raiders aren't going to let Meyers go for free. The organization said they're only willing to trade Meyers if they get strong value in return. Coming into Week 8, Meyers has 29 receptions with 329 receiving yards and no touchdowns. The 28-year-old hauled in a career-high 87 receptions last season, but isn't having the same success. The Raiders offense is struggling and Meyers could certainly benefit from a move elsewhere. We'll see if any organization is willing to pay the right price to acquire the 28-year-old.
Oct 26, 2025 8:40 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) said that he still wants to be traded. "Oh, for sure. But I'm a professional at the end of the day. I'm just trying to play good football," Meyers said when asked if he still wants a trade this year. The Raiders are already looking at another lost season after starting 2-5 and sitting in last place in the AFC West as they head into their Week 8 bye in the first year with Pete Carroll as head coach. The 28-year-old Meyers asked for a trade earlier this season and wasn't granted one, but with Vegas out of contention coming up on the trade deadline, he could get his wish. He missed his first game in the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to knee and toe injuries, but Meyers is expected to be back after the bye to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. After reaching the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his career in 2024, Meyers has taken a back seat to Tre Tucker so far in 2025, posting a 29-329-0 line on 43 targets through six games.
Oct 21, 2025 4:50 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Monday that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) "should return" for the Week 9 game on Sunday, Nov. 2, against the Jacksonville Jaguars after the team's Week 8 bye, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meyers missed Sunday's blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to knee and toe injuries, but the bye is coming at a good time for the 2-5 Raiders. The 28-year-old should be back in Week 9, but fantasy managers probably aren't going to be in a rush to throw him back into their starting lineups. Third-year wideout Tre Tucker has been the Raiders' leading receiver this year and has shown more chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith than Meyers has. After asking for a trade earlier this year, Meyers has disappointed with 29 receptions, 329 yards, and no touchdowns in six games in 2025. And when he returns after the bye, Bowers should be back, too, to steal valuable targets away.
Oct 20, 2025 3:11 PM EST
After testing his knee and toe injuries during pre-game warmups on Sunday, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) has been ruled out for the Week 7 game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. With their bye coming next week, the Raiders are erring on the side of caution with Meyers. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Still, he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, which means he should be ready to return when the Raiders resume play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders will also be without star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) for a third straight game on Sunday, so Vegas will be looking to receiver Tre Tucker and tight end Michael Mayer to step up, in addition to rookie receivers Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech. Meyers, who asked for a trade earlier this season, has had a season to forget so far in 2025.
Oct 19, 2025 11:42 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) will use Sunday's pre-game workout to determine whether he can play through the injuries, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Raiders are once again set to be without tight end Brock Bowers (knee), and could also be without another pass catcher if the veteran receiver is not able to play. Meyers hasn't been a great fantasy option since a productive Week 1, as he's ranked 40th or lower among PPR receivers four weeks in a row. Now facing multiple injuries and a matchup against a strong Kansas City defense, managers should look for other options this week.
Oct 19, 2025 7:43 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is officially listed as questionable to play this Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. Meyers was unable to practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was upgraded to a limited participant on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this weekend. With tight end Brock Bowers (knee) expected to miss a third straight game, the Raiders' struggling offense will need all the help they can get against a Chiefs team that is finally looking like a juggernaut again. If Meyers doesn't get the green light to play on Sunday, Tre Tucker and rookies Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech would likely work in starting three-wide sets. Tight end Michael Mayer should also be heavily involved in the passing attack in what should be a positive game script on Sunday. Meyers has been a major disappointment so far in 2025, especially the last two weeks with Bowers out.
Oct 17, 2025 5:42 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) returned to practice on Friday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports. Meyers missed the last two days of practice, but suited up on Friday and putting him in a good spot to be able to play Sunday. After recording at least 60 receiving yards in each of his first three games, Mayers has now gone three straight games with just four catches and under 40 yards. Star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) was also seen practicing on Friday, which will give him a chance to play on Sunday. With the Raiders' bye in Week 8, the team could opt to rest him one more week. That would open up more targets for Meyers, who will rank on the WR3 line for Week 7, assuming he is good to go.
Oct 17, 2025 4:29 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is not participating in practice on Thursday despite offensive coordinator Chip Kelly saying he expected him to, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Despite playing 90% of the offensive snaps in the Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans, Meyers has missed both practices so far this week, putting him in danger of missing the Week 7 game this Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old will need to return to practice on Friday to have a shot at being active this weekend. With tight end Brock Bowers (knee) expected to miss a third straight game, the Raiders would be missing their top two pass-catchers if Meyers is also unavailable. Receiver Tre Tucker and tight end Michael Mayer could be heavily targeted. Meyers hasn't shown much chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith this year and did not take advantage of Bowers missing the last two weeks.
Oct 16, 2025 5:11 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly said the team is expecting wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) to be back at practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday, per ESPN's Ryan McFadden. Meyers may be limited on Thursday, but his return is a positive sign for his availability in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old has recorded 29 catches for 329 yards on 43 targets through six games this season. However, he's yet to record a touchdown and has not cracked four receptions or 40 receiving yards in a game since Week 3. If Meyers were unable to go in Week 7, Raiders wideouts Tre Tucker and Jack Bech would likely see an uptick in targets. Assuming Meyers can play, he profiles as a solid WR3/flex option against Kansas City.
Oct 16, 2025 4:11 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is dealing with knee and toe injuries and was not present at practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Ryan McFadden. It's unclear exactly if Meyers' two injuries will put him in danger of suiting up for a Week 7 divisional battle against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. The 28-year-old was able to play 90% of the offensive snaps in last Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans, though, catching all four of his targets for 39 yards. We'd think Meyers would be fine for this weekend as long as he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday. He has not shown much chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith this year, and his production has been disappointing in the two games that star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) has missed. If Meyers suits up in a tough matchup against KC, he should be considered a low-ceiling WR3 in fantasy football.
