Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Brandon Aiyuk

Sunday, November 26, 7:32 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught six of his seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. With rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell remaining the starter, Meyers accrued the most receiving yards on the team and was tied with Davante Adams for the most targets. Meyers out-performed Adams in this contest, as L'Jarius Sneed shadowed the latter. Meyers and the Raiders have a bye in Week 13 but will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Meyers' performance is encouraging, and he should continue to be considered a borderline WR2 moving forward.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk salvaged his fantasy night with a late touchdown in a 31-13 victory over the Seahawks in Seattle. Aiyuk's 28-yard, deep in-route scoring strike was part of an otherwise quiet performance of two catches on four targets for 50 yards receiving. Midway through the first half, broadcaster Cris Collinsworth observed that the 49ers' offense was doing "whatever they want". What the 49ers wanted apparently, was to feed Deebo Samuel early. Like everyone in this offense besides Christian McCaffrey, Aiyuk will continue to have games where the targets go elsewhere. It will be Aiyuk's efficiency down the field and big-play potential that keep him in the WR1 conversation next Sunday at the Eagles, who have allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game.
