Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Jerry Jeudy

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers requested a trade on Monday since he and the organization have been unable to reach a contract extension this summer. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter said on the The Pat McAfee Show that the Raiders are "not looking to deal him." "My understanding is the Raiders had one team reach out to trade for Jakobi Meyers but they wanted them to pick up some of his salary," Schefter added. The 28-year-old is owed $10.76 million in the last year of his current deal in 2025. It sounds like Meyers will be with Vegas for the Week 1 regular-season opener against the New England Patriots, where he'll operate as one of quarterback Geno Smith's top options. He had his first 1,000-yard season on a career-high 87 catches last year, but he scored only four times. Meyers is good, but not great, and is on the WR3/4 borderline in RotoBaller's rankings.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and running back Jerome Ford are not expected to play in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Browns beat writer Kelsey Russo. In addition, the Browns are expected to hold out rookie RB Dylan Sampson. Jeudy's last chance to play in the preseason will come next Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams, as he also didn't play in the preseason opener last week. In regards to the RB situation, the Browns are being mindful not to thin out their RB room even more with rookie second-rounder Quinshon Judkins still unsigned as he deals with legal matters. Jeudy will be the unquestioned WR1 again in 2025, although his fantasy upside will remain limited with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco running the offense. Ford figures to have an elevated backfield role if Judkins is not ready for the start of the season.
