Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is "locked in as a starter" as training camp gets underway, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Reed also notes that Meyers spent most of his time in OTAs working from the slot. The 28-year-old has been a consistent producer across his two seasons in Las Vegas. He took over as the team's number one receiver after the Raiders traded Davante Adams early in the 2024 season and posted career highs in catches (87) and receiving yards (1,027). Meyers will likely be new Raiders quarterback Geno Smith's second-favorite target behind star tight end Brock Bowers. He finished as the WR23 in PPR points-per-game in a similar role last season.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (groin) tweaked his groin at training camp practice on Tuesday and had an ice pack on it while still in pads, according to Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star. Until we know more about Pittman's injury, we will consider him day-to-day. While Pittman will remain a key contributor in the passing attack for the Colts in 2025 if he's healthy, we saw last year that the emergence of Josh Downs definitely hurt his ceiling. The 27-year-old former second-rounder caught 69 of 111 targets for 808 yards and only three touchdowns in 16 games (14 starts). The less-than-stellar quarterback play from Anthony Richardson Sr. and Joe Flacco didn't help matters. Pittman also played through a back injury for much of the year. Better health would certainly help Pittman, but it's no secret that his fantasy stock has taken a hit as more of a WR4/flex heading into the 2025 season.
Still trying to decide between Meyers and Pittman Jr.? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Jakobi Meyers is projected to score 24.8 points this week while Michael Pittman Jr. is projected to score 12.1 points.
