Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen his fantasy relevance fade in recent weeks and should be avoided in starting lineups heading into Week 6. Despite the Raiders frequently playing from behind, their passing game ranks just 15th through five weeks, with Meyers failing to separate himself from the pack. He saw an even target share with Tre Tucker and practice-squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam in Week 5, signaling a troubling trend for the veteran wideout. The emergence of Tucker, combined with the Raiders' growing emphasis on the running game led by Ashton Jeanty, has further diminished Meyers' role. Until he reclaims consistent targets, Meyers should be treated as a low-end WR3 or bench option in standard formats heading into this week's matchup.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle posted another solid game in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Miami's second full game since losing wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season. Waddle led the Dolphins with eight targets and hauled in six catches for 95 yards. The 26-year-old has now recorded 29 catches for 390 yards and three touchdowns on 40 targets through six games this season. In the two games without Hill, Waddle has been much better, recording 12 catches for 205 yards and a score on 17 targets. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver, although Waddle and the Dolphins will have a tough matchup in Week 7 when they travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns.
