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

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially deemed questionable for Sunday's home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. If he suits up, it will be his first in-game action since Week 5, when he ripped off 72 yards on 6-of-9 receiving in the 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos. Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported earlier in the day that Meyers is expected to play, though the questionable designation contradicts that slightly. Still, a full practice session on Friday is undoubtedly a boon to his outlook. The 27-year-old will line up against one of the more staunch units in the league this weekend but projects to get a ton of work if he is healthy enough to play. He'll be a WR2/3 for the outing.

Per head coach Antonio Pierce, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is expected to suit up for the team's Week 8 matchup. Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported the news. Meyers returned to practice on Wednesday after logging three DNPs the week prior but was listed as a non-participant on the Raiders' Thursday report. However, it was evidently just a day of rest for the 27-year-old. Las Vegas will undoubtedly benefit from his presence after he missed the last two contests with his ankle ailment. The former New England Patriot will slide back into his WR1 role for the team, pushing fellow wideouts DJ Turner and Tre Tucker back down the ranks. Meyers will return for a tough outing Sunday against the Raiders' division-rival Kansas City Chiefs.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice session. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, but didn't practice at all on Thursday. It's possible that it was a rest day for Meyers, but that was not confirmed. This doesn't look good considering Meyers hasn't played in two weeks due to this ankle issue. The Raiders could desperately use Meyers with Davante Adams no longer with the team. If healthy, Meyers is the No. 1 option in the passing game and could carve out WR3 value against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), who has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, will return to practice on Wednesday. Meyers will likely be limited as he returns to practice, but it's improvement and could allow him to return to the field on game day this Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. If the 27-year-old is able to get the green light to return this weekend, he'll most likely operate as the WR1 for quarterback Gardner Minshew II, who will be taking over the starting role under center again now that Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is on Injured Reserve. Although the Raiders could be forced to throw plenty against KC, Meyers will be a shaky WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues, at best, if he plays in Week 8. In five games in 2024, he has 25 catches (36 targets) for 273 yards and a touchdown.UPDATE: Meyers was limited on Wednesday.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as doubtful entering the weekend, so this update is not much of a surprise. The 27-year-old will miss his second consecutive game after starting the season with 25 catches, 273 yards, and one touchdown over the first five weeks. With Meyers sidelined and Davante Adams traded to the New York Jets, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner should handle additional opportunities in the passing game.
