Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers snagged 10 of his 15 targets for 121 receiving yards in his team's Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. He's proven to be a surprisingly good player for how he's perceived by the general public of NFL fans, though he's still stuck on a poor team. The Broncos defense preferred to bracket tight end Brock Bowers, allowing Meyers to enjoy softer coverage. While Denver shuts down most receivers, the former Patriots WR has enjoyed two good games against them now. He'll face a presumably tougher test in Week 13, when he'll face the Kansas City Chiefs and likely draw the attention of elite cornerback Trent McDuffie. It won't help that he may have to catch passes from quarterback Desmond Ridder, since the starter from Week 12, Gardner Minshew II (collarbone), won't play again this season. He's still a must-start in PPR leagues though.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will face a tough coverage test when his team takes on the divisional-rival Denver Broncos in Week 12. Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II has been lockdown this season, though Meyers did just fine in their last matchup in Week 5, catching six of nine targets for 72 yards. He may need to rely on garbage time again to produce well, though, and possibly stay away from Surtain, though that might not happen. The Broncos just dominated the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 in Week 11. The star corner held receiver Drake London to three catches for 61 yards in that game, despite the plethora of garbage time. Meyers is a risky WR3/flex in PPR leagues for this matchup with limited upside.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught just four passes on six targets for 28 yards and rushed for an additional 28 yards, netting him 8.8 PPR points in fantasy football on the week as his team fell to the Miami Dolphins 19-34. It was a quieter day than usual for Meyers, and he had less than half the target volume of teammate tight end Brock Bowers. Meyers is the clear WR1 of this team, but he was handled effectively by Dolphins quarterback Jalen Ramsey and his fellow defensive backs. Things won't get any easier in Week 11, when Las Vegas has a date with the Denver Broncos -- cornerback Patrick Surtain II is elite and is licking his chops at a chance to lock down Meyers. He's a risky start next week, as are all WRs that face the Broncos.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hamstring) has had back to back games of double-digit PPR fantasy point performances, racking up 17.2 points in Week 8 and following that up with 18.5 in Week 9. He'll be well-rested after his Week 10 bye when he faces the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in a Week 11 contest featuring two teams with losing records. Meyers will square off at least part of the time with highly-accomplished cornerback Jalen Ramsey in a must-win for Miami, who has a glimmer of playoff hope left. It will be a tough test, but the sixth-year pro should be started in PPR leagues due to his excellent target volume -- he's had 18 targets in his last two games. He's been dealing with a hamstring injury this week, but practiced fully Wednesday through Friday and is expected to play, so this ailment shouldn't be a concern. Treat him as a WR2 for fantasy purposes.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was the clear No. 1 receiver for the team in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He hauled in eight of 11 targets for 105 yards on the day, and was the most targeted Raiders offensive player. He consistently won on his routes and has earned 54 targets over his seven games played this season, making him a reliable fantasy option and a solid WR2 in PPR fantasy leagues. It's unlikely he'll cede many targets moving forward, considering that he's now the top dog in the wideout room. He'll have time to rest whatever remains of his previous ankle injury, as he has a bye week coming up. In Week 11, he'll continue his leading role against the Miami Dolphins with an extra week of rest under his belt.
