Raiders "Set a High Price" on Jakobi Meyers

Saturday, November 1, 10:15 PM

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Las Vegas Raiders have "set a high price" on wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. It's no secret that the wideout wants to be traded. As expected, several teams have inquired about his availability in the trade market, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills seemingly the clubs with the most interest. It's unknown exactly what the Raiders are looking for in return. However, it appears there's still a chance he could be moved before the trade deadline. Meyers was targeted 22 times in the first two games of the 2025 campaign. Since then, he's seen 23 targets in his last four appearances while missing the Week 7 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. All things considered, Meyers may actually benefit from a change of scenery, considering Geno Smith has struggled.

Nico Collins Does Not Have an Injury Designation vs. the Broncos

Saturday, November 1, 5:23 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is ready to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Broncos after missing Week 8 with a concussion. Collins is in a tough matchup against a strong pass defense, but he still brings elite upside. The fifth-year receiver from Michigan has averaged 7.7 targets per game this season and has 26 catches for 339 yards and three touchdowns. Before leaving Week 7's loss to the Seahawks, Collins had four catches for just 27 yards. He has been held under 100 yards in five of his six games this season, and even though he has WR1 upside, he's risky this week returning in such a tough matchup. The Broncos have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points in the NFL to receivers, so Collins checks in as the No. 18 WR in the RotoBaller rankings for the week. Get him back in your lineups this week, but temper expectations.
