The NFL will wait until Raiders WR Davante Adams' legal proceedings conclude before dishing out any discipline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Adams has been charged with a city ordinance violation of assault for pushing a photographer to the ground after last Monday night's loss to the Chiefs. That means the situation is now part of the league's personal-conduct policy, so the league will wait until the case is resolved. Per Rapoport, Adams could be fined, suspended or both. His court date is scheduled for November 10.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to play Dunday against the Browns, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That’s not a surprise, given that Meyers played through the same issue last week

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He was in the same boat last week before posting a 7-111-1 line on an 80% snap rate. Meyers should be fine for this weekend's game, but check back around 11:30 am ET to make sure he's active.

Raiders WR Davante Adams has been charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a cameraman after Monday night's loss to the Chiefs. His court date is scheduled for November 10, which is the Thursday after Week 9. It's unlikely that a suspension comes before then, if Adams is suspended at all. We'll continue to keep you updated on the situation.

Raiders WR Davante Adams caught just 3 of his 7 targets in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, but he turned those into 124 yards and 2 TDs. Adams scored on plays of 58 and 48 yards. One other incompletion came on a late-game pass where a slight bobble kept him from getting 2 feet down in bounds. He also drew a pair of PI calls that consumed another 48 yards. Adams continued to draw attention after the game though, when he shoved a sound guy to the ground on his way to the locker room. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the league is reviewing the situation for disciplinary purposes -- "potentially even a suspension." We'll monitor the developments.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs ran for 154 yards and a TD on 21 carries in Monday night's narrow loss to the Chiefs. He added a team-high 5 catches for 39 yards. That landed Jacobs 3rd among RBs in PPR scoring for the week. He now sits 4th at the position for the year. His 26 total opportunities (carries + targets) at K.C. constituted 83.9% of the Raiders' total RB opportunities for the game. Jacobs ranks 6th among RBs in team opportunity share for the season.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers returned from 2 games missed with a knee sprain to rack up a 7-111-1 receiving line in Sunday's win over the Lions. He drew a team-high 8 targets (38.1% of team pass attempts), as rookie QB Bailey Zappe filled in for Mac Jones Zappe proved efficient, completing 17 of 21 passes for 188 yards (8.95 per attempt). Meyers has now drawn a target on 31.4% of Patriots pass attempts. He looks like at least a weekly WR3 for PPR lineups going forward.

11:39am EDT 10/9/22

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. It’s a plus matchup. But, between the knee that limited him in practice all week and a rookie QB making his 1st career start, Meyers would be a risky Week 5 fantasy play.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is off the final injury report and ready to play Monday night’s game against the Chiefs. We don’t have any worries about the team easing him back in. Mack Hollins’ playing time should remain strong, but target share figures to be spottier

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. It’s an excellent matchup, but at less than 100% and with Bailey Zappe under center, Meyers would be a shaky fantasy play.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) put in a full practice on Thursday. Barring a setback, he'll return for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) remained limited on Wednesday. He put in 3 limited practices last week before missing the Packers game, so Meyers' status for Sunday's game vs. the Lions remains uncertain.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs went off in Week 4, torching the Broncos for 144 yards and 2 scores on 28 attempts. With 5 catches (6 targets), Jacobs actually set a career-high with 34 opportunities. Vegas never trailed after the 1st quarter, so his passing-game usage is encouraging. He’s actually caught 5 balls in back to back games. On the ground, Jacobs continued to make the most of his opportunities behind a surprisingly-effective O-line. He’s now up to 4.8 YPC through 70 carries. The contract-year back will look to keep rolling Monday night at Kansas City.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman left Sunday's win over the Broncos early with a concussion. He had just returned from the ankle sprain that knocked him out of Week 1 early. We'll see how Perryman progresses through the league protocol. Divine Deablo worked as the corps leader with Perryman out before. Jayon Brown got playing time in the 70-80% range.

Patriots QB Brian Hoyer exited in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Packers to be checked for a concussion. Fourth-round rookie QB Bailey Zappe is next up for New England.

Update: Hoyer has been ruled out with a concussion.

The Patriots ruled out WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) on Saturday. He was limited in practice all week. We'll see if he’s able to return for a Week 5 meeting with Detroit.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s yet to return to practice, so consider him iffy for Week 5. Vegas will also be without TE Foster Moreau (knee) this weekend, boosting the target projections for WR Davante Adams, TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. At less than 100% and catching passes from QB Brian Hoyer, Meyers shouldn’t be in your Week 4 fantasy plans.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking like a long shot to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. That's good news for the target outlooks of Davante Adams, Darren Waller and Mack Hollins, who's coming off a big Week 3.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman put in a limited practice Wednesday, the 1st time he has been on the field since leaving the opener with an ankle injury. We'll see just what the LB roles look like if Perryman's ready for game action. Divine Deablo has led the group in snaps the past 3 weeks. Pro Football Focus grades him just 68th, however, among 86 LBs with 45+ snaps played so far. LB Jason Brown checks in 70th, trailing Deablo as the #2 in playing time. Perryman was the every-down LB for last year's Raiders but has an uneven history of use across 3 franchises.
