Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Michael Pittman Jr.

Friday, October 10, 8:31 PM

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is off to a hot start in 2025. The veteran wide receiver has now caught 26 passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns thus far. Pittman will look to keep it going in Week 6's home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been solid against the pass this season, allowing the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in five contests. That being said, Pittman has emerged as Indy's top wide receiver this season as Daniel Jones seems to prefer him over Josh Downs when dropping back to pass. Fantasy gamers can trust Pittman as a solid WR2 heading into Week 6's slate.
