Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Khalil Shakir

Friday, September 12, 1:57 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers cemented himself as the offense's most reliable option in Week 1, drawing 10 targets and converting eight into 97 yards. As the veteran presence in a young receiving corps, Meyers has quickly earned the trust of Geno Smith, thriving as a chain-mover while Tre Tucker and Dont'e Thornton Jr. stretch the field vertically. His high-volume role makes him a consistent fantasy asset, and if Brock Bowers (knee) is sidelined, Meyers could see an even larger workload as the Raiders lean on his reliability. Ranked as RotoBaller's WR22 for Week 2, Meyers should be locked into starting lineups across all formats.

After sitting out most of the summer with a high-ankle sprain, Buffalo Bills slot receiver Khalil Shakir was effective in a Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Shakir ranked second among Bills receivers in snaps (60) and caught six of nine targets for 64 yards. He'll take on a familiar opponent this week in the division-rival New York Jets, who gave up the ninth-most fantasy points to receivers in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. To their credit, the Jets stymied Shakir in two matchups a year ago, yielding a combined five catches on eight targets for 44 yards. Nevertheless, with Shakir having totaled between six and 12 targets in 14 straight games since last season, he should have opportunities to produce on Sunday. Thanks to his rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, he's RotoBaller's 40th-ranked WR for Week 2.
