Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Roman Wilson

Thursday, July 31, 3:22 PM

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Las Raiders and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers are in contract talks and could be working toward an extension this offseason. The 28-year-old has been excellent relative to his quarterback play since joining the team via free agency in 2023, collecting 158 receptions for 1,834 yards and 12 touchdowns in 31 games. Meyers is just 28 years old and doesn't rely on explosiveness to succeed, so he could have plenty left in the tank. Former Seahawks signal-caller Geno Smith should provide the best quarterback play Meyers has worked with since Tom Brady in his 2019 rookie season, and he continues to be undervalued in preseason fantasy football drafts. Tight end Brock Bowers is likely the clear No. 1 option in the Sin City, but Meyers should establish himself as the No. 2.

Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh reports that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is starting in three-wide sets with the first-team offense alongside DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III to start training camp practice this week. Wilson, a third-rounder (84th overall) last year out of Michigan, missed the majority of his first season in the NFL due to injury and was active for just one game. With George Pickens in Dallas, there's plenty of opportunity for Wilson to make a statement in what will essentially be his first year in the league. Behind Wilson and Austin, the Steelers have only veteran Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek -- not exactly the most threatening competition. Wilson will have opportunity, but as a speedy deep threat across from Metcalf, it might be hard for him to stand out on a weekly basis.
