Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Chase Claypool

Wednesday, October 29, 9:08 PM

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.

Free-agent wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) is hoping to sign with an NFL team. The 2020 No. 49 overall pick was spectacular as a rookie, amassing 62 catches for 873 yards and 11 touchdowns. Since then, he hasn't been as productive. finding the end zone only six times. After stops in Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Miami, Claypool was in line to suit up for the Buffalo Bills heading into the 2024 campaign. Unfortunately, he tore a ligament and tendon in his toe before eventually being released by the team. With the injury behind Claypool, he is eager to get back on the field while claiming to be stronger and faster than ever. "I am back to being the strongest and fastest I've ever been and couldn't be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves," said the 26-year-old. "I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what's been suppressed these last two years." It appears he is more motivated than ever. Although Claypool should see attention from fantasy managers if he signs with a club, he could have a tough time getting close to the level of production he had in his inaugural year. Still, the wideout is worth monitoring in case he ends up inking a deal with a team where he'll have the opportunity to get involved.
