Jakobi Meyers Gets Through Full Practice Session

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.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Continues Elite Production

Tuesday, October 21, 9:17 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had eight catches for the third straight week and finished with 123 yards and a touchdown in his team's 27-19 win on Monday. JSN has been one of the top receivers in the league this year, and Sam Darnold continues to give him plenty of targets. He has 36 targets over the last three weeks and has emerged as a true WR1 in Seattle after the departure of D.K. Metcalf this past offseason. Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks are on a bye this week, but he'll look to pick up where he left off in a great matchup in Week 10 against the Commanders. After Washington, Seattle faces the Cardinals, Rams, Titans, and Vikings. At this point, Smith-Njigba is an every-week lock in your lineup, aside from his bye this week.
