Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Co-leader in receptions Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers secured seven of 10 targets for 67 yards in the Raiders' 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Despite the disappointing team outcome and Aidan O'Connell's exit in the second half due to a knee injury, the ever-reliable Meyers turned in another productive effort that included a co-team-high reception total. The veteran wideout also set the pace in targets and finished just a yard short of drawing even with Michael Mayer for the team lead in receiving yards. Meyers has at least six catches in five of the last six contests heading into a Week 15 Monday night home matchup against the Falcons on Dec. 16.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Meyers had been listed as questionable heading into the day after being a mid-week addition to the Raiders' injury report due to the ankle issue. After sitting out Thursday's practice session, Meyers returned to the field Friday in a limited fashion and appears to have experienced no setbacks leading up to Sunday's game. Expect Myers and tight end Brock Bowers to be locked in as the clear top two options in the passing game for quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who threw 25 of his 35 attempts to the two pass catchers in last week's loss to the Chiefs.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Likely to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Meyers popped up on the injury report Thursday due to an ankle issue that kept him out of practice. However, he was a limited participant Friday and appears set to suit up against the Bucs on Sunday. Meyers has ascended to the role of Las Vegas' top wideout this season, and he's been productive of late with at least 97 receiving yards in three of his past four games, though he hasn't gotten into the end zone during that span.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers wasn't able to practice Thursday due to an ankle injury. Coach Antonio Pierce told Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com on Friday that Meyers was "full go, ready to go," but the wide receiver ended up limited on the Raiders' final Week 14 injury report. Pierce's comments seem to indicate Meyers will be available Sunday, which won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Practices in full Friday
Rotowire
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Meyers (ankle) will practice in full and is "ready to go" for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers and starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (illness) both sat out Thursday's practice and have returned as full participants Friday. O'Connell is coming off his best game of the season, having thrown for 340 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions during Las Vegas' narrow 19-17 loss to the Chiefs in Week 13, and having his top wideout available leaves room for optimism that the Raiders' passing offense could continue building momentum. Meyers is averaging 10 targets per game over his last five appearances, with rookie tight end Brock Bowers only slightly above him in that category.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Sidelined for practice due to ankle
Rotowire
Meyers didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Meyers wasn't listed on the Raiders' initial Week 14 injury report issued Wednesday, so the ankle issue may have been something that cropped up late in the team's first practice session of the week. Whatever the case, Meyers' absence from Thursday's practice now makes his status worthy of monitoring closely as Sunday's game at Tampa Bay approaches. Since returning to action Week 8 following a two-game absence -- also due to an ankle injury -- Meyers and rookie tight end Brock Bowers have earned heavy volume in the Las Vegas passing attack. Meyers is averaging 10 targets per game over his last five outings, stringing together a 34-403-1 receiving line in the process.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers comes into Week 14 having scored at least 15.7 PPR points in four of his past five games, including two in a row. He didn't slow down with Aidan O'Connell returning in Week 13 at Kansas City with six catches for 97 yards on 11 targets, and now he has a fantastic matchup in Week 14 at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 12.4 PPR points against Tampa Bay in the past five games. I'm viewing Meyers as a No. 1 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 14.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Just short of 100-yard mark in loss
Rotowire
Meyers secured six of 11 targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.
Meyers finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Brock Bowers for the Raiders on the afternoon. The veteran wideout's yardage total was his third highest of the season and maintained a recent pattern of strong play, as Meyers has generated both of his 100-yard efforts this season along with Friday's total within his last four games. The sixth-year pro has at least six catches in five of his last six contests as well and plenty of established chemistry with Aidan O'Connell, giving Meyers a bright outlook heading into a Week 14 road matchup against a vulnerable Buccaneers secondary on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Season-best numbers in loss
Rotowire
Meyers caught 10 of 15 targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.
The veteran wideout put together his best performance of 2024, with his receptions, targets and yards all being season highs. Meyers has produced a 28-306-1 line on 39 targets over the last four games, but he'll head into a Week 13 clash against Kansas City with uncertainty at quarterback -- Gardner Minshew (collarbone) was lost for the season Sunday, while Aidan O'Connell (thumb) may not be ready to return from IR.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Meyers had a solid game against the Broncos when they first met in Week 5 with six catches for 72 yards on nine targets, and we'll see if he can replicate his 13.2 PPR points in the rematch. He's coming off a down game in Week 6 at Miami with four catches for 28 yards on six targets, and he only has two touchdowns on the season. We'll see if he gets matched up with Patrick Surtain II, and so far he's been able to limit DK Metcalf (5.9 PPR points), George Pickens (4.9 PPR points), Mike Evans (3.7 PPR points), Garrett Wilson (9.1 PPR points), DeAndre Hopkins (9.6 PPR points) and Drake London (9.1 PPR points) to minimal production. I would only start Meyers in three-receiver leagues in Week 12.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Held in check by Dolphins
Rotowire
Meyers secured four of six targets for 28 yards and rushed once for 20 yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
It was an atypical stat line all the way around for Meyers, who recorded the longest rush of his career but also posted his lowest receiving yardage tally of the campaign. The veteran pass catcher did record at least four catches for the seventh straight game, but he's eclipsed the century mark only once, in Week 9 against the Bengals, over the course of the season. Meyers usually gets more mileage out of his pass-catching opportunities than he did Sunday, but he'll face a daunting task against the Broncos at home in Week 12.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers should benefit with Gardner Minshew remaining the starting quarterback for the Raiders heading into Week 11 at Miami, and I like Meyers as a solid No. 2 receiver in all leagues. He's hot coming off the bye for Las Vegas since he scored at least 17.2 PPR points in each of his past two games against the Chiefs and Bengals. He has 18 targets over that span for 14 catches, 157 yards, and a touchdown, and he should have success against the Dolphins, who have allowed five receivers to score at least 14 PPR points in the past three games.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Meyers has been WR15 on a per-game basis since Week 3. He's scored at least 17 PPR Fantasy points in each of his last two games since he returned from injury. He's priced like a number three wide receiver and will go overlooked because of questions about the offense and the quarterback.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Eclipses century mark in loss
Rotowire
Meyers secured eight of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
The veteran wideout was the leader across the board for the Raiders' pass catchers despite middling quarterback play from both Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder. Meyers' reception, yardage and target totals were also all season-high figures, and he now has at least six receptions in four of the last five games. It remains to be seen what quarterback Meyers will work with in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 coming out of a Week 10 bye, but the sixth-year pro should remain the clear-cut leader of the wideout corps under any circumstance.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Churns out full practice
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
After missing two straight games with the ankle injury, Meyers returned to action in this past Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs, playing 80 percent of the offensive snaps while finishing with six catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Meyers was limited in practice to kick off Week 9 prep, but his full session Thursday sets the stage for him to join tight end Brock Bowers as the clear top targets in the passing game for quarterback Gardner Minshew in Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start

Meyers is the No. 1 receiver for the Raiders with Davante Adams now in New York, and Meyers has scored at least 13.2 PPR points in each of his past two games. In Week 8 against Kansas City, Meyers had six catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on seven targets for 17.2 PPR points, and he gets a more favorable matchup in Week 9 against the Bengals. Three receivers have scored at least 13.4 PPR points against Cincinnati in the past two games, and I like Meyers as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Gets in limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
In his return from a two-game absence due to the ankle injury, Meyers caught six of his seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown while playing 81 percent of the snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Meyers' listed limitations Wednesday may just have been maintenance-related.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Meyers has averaged 14.9 PPR FPPG over his last four games against some very difficult matchups. He has 35 targets over that stretch. This week, he's priced like a low-end WR3 against a mediocre Bengals defense. Expect 10 targets, and don't be surprised if he gives you 20 Fantasy points.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Top target in return
Rotowire
Meyers recorded six receptions on seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Meyers returned from a two-game absence and immediately led the Raiders in targets and receptions. He was heavily involved on the opening drive, converting a key first down with an 11-yard catch before finding the end zone from seven yards away. Meyers then tallied his longest catch of the day for 17 yards early in the second quarter, setting up a Las Vegas field goal. While his final stat line was modest, Meyers should dominate targets along with Brock Bowers moving forward.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Active in Week 8, as expected
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Chiefs.
Meyers was reported to be in line for a return from a two-game absence after wrapping up the practice week with a full session Friday, and his active status is now official. The veteran wideout returns to a notably altered wide receiver corps than the one he left, as Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets during Meyers' absence. Meyers will therefore assume the No. 1 receiver role moving forward, albeit with the inconsistent Gardner Minshew as his quarterback beginning with a difficult matchup against the Chiefs' talented secondary Sunday.
