Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Matthew Golden

Sunday, October 19, 11:42 AM

After testing his knee and toe injuries during pre-game warmups on Sunday, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) has been ruled out for the Week 7 game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. With their bye coming next week, the Raiders are erring on the side of caution with Meyers. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Still, he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, which means he should be ready to return when the Raiders resume play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders will also be without star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) for a third straight game on Sunday, so Vegas will be looking to receiver Tre Tucker and tight end Michael Mayer to step up, in addition to rookie receivers Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech. Meyers, who asked for a trade earlier this season, has had a season to forget so far in 2025.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is getting better fantasy production little by little each week, and looks to get into the end zone when the Packers head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 7. Golden has seen a slight uptick in involvement in targets when he's on the field, as his targets per route run have crept upwards in the last three weeks, up to last week's season-high 21.7 percent. In that three-game stretch, Golden has also averaged five targets, so there's room to grow there as well. Even with the spread-out nature of the targets in the passing game, Golden has clear upside and will be a flex-worthy fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 for Green Bay's matchup against the Cardinals.
