Jakobi Meyers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Jakobi Meyers will face what is easily his softest matchup of the season in Week 16, when the Raiders face the Jacksonville Jaguars. The opposing team has a patented Swiss-cheese secondary, without much cheese and with mostly holes. They're the worst team at defending against wide receivers in the league, and with quarterback Aidan O'Connell returning from an injury, it's a smash spot for Meyers. He's one of the more underrated WRs in the league, probably because he's been on bad offenses his whole career outside of his rookie season. His upside in PPR fantasy football leagues is massive this week, and he should be started in all of them. He was cleared from the injury report, so he's healthy and ready to go. Don't leave him on your benches.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session, as he may carry an injury designation into the weekend if he does not log a full session. Meyers has been dealing with this ankle injury over the past few weeks but has not missed any time due to it. Meyers was also a limited participant through the opening sessions of practice last week as well. Over his past four games, the veteran wideout has averaged 7.3 receptions with 86.0 yards per game while posting a solid 15.6 PPR points per game. Fantasy managers should view Meyers as a high-floor WR2 in PPR leagues facing the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) remains on the Week 16 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Meyers also had his practice reps limited a bit last week due to his ankle injury, but he was eventually cleared and played in the Week 15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. The 28-year-old pass-catcher caught five of his nine targets in that game for 59 yards in quarterback Desmond Ridder's first start of the year. He should be fine to play this weekend in an excellent matchup against the poor Jacksonville Jaguars secondary, making him intriguing in starting fantasy lineups for semifinal matchups in most leagues. Additionally, it looks like quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) will return from a one-game absence, which definitely will give Meyers more upside as the WR1 in Vegas.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers simply wasn't thrown the ball enough by quarterback Desmond Ridder in the team's 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Though Meyers ended up with nine targets, Ridder took too long to start getting the ball into one of his best playmaker's hands. Meyers is a fantastic receiver in fantasy football and a good playmaker on the field, but he'll need his QB1 back in Week 16 to realize his potential. It's not that he wasn't getting open, but there's only so much you can do on your own. Luckily, Aidan O'Connell (knee) could have a shot to return in Week 16, and the team will face the awful Jacksonville Jaguars pass defense, so Meyers could have a big day coming up soon.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers logged a full practice on Saturday as expected, and he carries no injury designation heading into Monday night's game with the Atlanta Falcons. He's been managing an ankle issue with plenty of rest throughout the weekdays, so this ailment is of minimal concern. He'll face an Atlanta defense that's been shredded multiple times through the air over the past few weeks, and it's a great matchup for Meyers to see plenty of targets. He should be started in all PPR leagues regardless of who ends up playing at QB. While his ceiling is lower if backup quarterback Desmond Ridder ends up getting the nod, he's a great and highly underrated WR that consistently gets separation and wins on his routes, and that's what matters for fantasy football.
