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

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 14 against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Meyers popped up on the Week 14 injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury and did not practice. However, he returned to practice and is expected to be available this weekend, so fantasy managers need to leave him locked into all starting fantasy lineups with high-end WR2 upside. In quarterback Aidan O'Connell's return to a starting role in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, Meyers caught six of 11 targets for 97 yards. The previous week in the loss to the division-rival Denver Broncos, Meyers had 10 catches on a season-high 15 targets for a season-high 121 yards. Meyers could go off again against a Bucs defense that has been a top-10 matchup for wideouts in PPR setups in 2024.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) will be a "full-go" at practice on Friday and is on track to suit up on Sunday in Week 14 against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meyers popped up on the injury report on Thursday and was listed as a non-participant, thus putting his status for Week 14 in doubt. It looks like fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief now, although you may want to check back on his final status for Sunday. The 28-year-old is the clear WR1 in Vegas and has been on a heater the last two weeks, going for 16 receptions on 26 targets for 218 yards. With quarterback Aidan O'Connell returning in the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs, Meyers had six catches on 11 targets for 97 yards. With heavy volume likely coming again this Sunday, Meyers lines up as a must-start, high-end WR2 for fantasy managers.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was added to the injury report after sitting out on Thursday with an ankle injury. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's practice as it will likely clarify his availability heading into the weekend. However, seeing him downgrade to a non-participant is not a promising sign. Since Davante Adams left for New York, Meyers has operated as the clear No.1 wide receiver in this passing attack. Since Week 8, Meyers has averaged an impressive 16.5 PPR points per game with 80.6 yards and 6.8 receptions per game. If Meyers were to sit out on Sunday, tight end Brock Bowers would be viewed as the clear top pass catcher, with Tre Tucker operating as the top wideout.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers again had a big day for fantasy managers in Week 13. He caught six of his 11 targets for 97 yards, scoring 15.7 PPR fantasy points. He continues to beat coverages handily with his crisp route running and excellent separation ability. While he wasn't able to haul in nearly half of his targets, he showed chemistry with quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who appears to be a clear upgrade over QB Gardner Minshew II (collarbone). Moving forward, Meyers cannot be benched in PPR fantasy leagues. He's one of the most underrated players at his position in the league, and with tight end Brock Bowers playing at such a high level, defenses are struggling with coverage assignments. Meyers is an easy WR1/WR2 with plenty of upside heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They could have a bottom-5 pass defense after dealing with injuries in the secondary.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is the team's clear No. 1 receiver, and he'll continue to fill in that role when he takes on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. While he has significant target competition from tight end Brock Bowers, who's elite in his own right, there are plenty of targets to go around for each of them. Meyers is coming off a huge game in Week 12 that saw him catch 10 of his 15 targets for 121 yards. That amounted to 22.1 PPR fantasy points. The opposing Denver Broncos defense made a point of bracketing Bowers, limiting his production severely. The Chiefs actually played him similarly in Week 8, and the Chiefs have given up a ton of points to receivers the last few games. Meyers should be started in all PPR leagues, though, regardless of matchup. He's an extremely skillful wideout.
