Weekly Writeup
Meyers logged full practice participation twice this week and looks to be ready to get back onto the field following his Week 1 concussion. This is a solid spot for him against a Steelers' secondary that's allowed 30.6 half-PPR points per game to opposing WRs this season.

View WR Fantasy Rankings »
Bottom Line

Meyers is coming off a career-best fantasy season, finishing 29th among WRs in PPR points per game and 30th in non-PPR.

While not a downfield threat or big TD producer, he has displayed strong target-earning ability over the past three seasons.

That ability will be tested in Vegas, alongside target hog Davante Adams.

But Meyers got a nice three-year, $33 million deal from the Raiders and has experience in HC Josh McDaniels’ offense. It makes him the clear favorite for the #2 WR job.

Meyers certainly isn’t an exciting fantasy pick. But he could see enough volume to be a useful depth piece in PPR leagues.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Meyers caught 67 balls for 804 yards and 6 TDs in 14 games last season.
  • The yardage and TDs easily led a Patriots offense that finished 20th in passing yards and 19th in passing scores.
  • Meyers missed weeks 3 and 4 with a knee injury and Week 14 with a concussion.
  • His scoring averages in 14 games ranked 29th in PPR points and 30th in non-PPR.
  • Meyers’ finishes in points per game the previous two seasons:
    • 2020: 50th in PPR, 69th in non-PPR
    • 2021: 44th in PPR, 62nd in non-PPR
  • Over the past three seasons, Meyers ranks 24th among WRs in catches and 28th in receiving yards … but 61st in receiving TDs.
  • After somehow mustering just 2 TDs on 142 receptions (1.4% TD rate) across 2020 and 2021, Meyers scored six times on 67 catches last year (9.0% TD rate).
  • Meyers’ 1.90 yards per route run last year easily led Patriots WRs and ranked 23rd among 84 WRs league-wide with 50+ targets.
  • Meyers ranked 51st among 90 qualifiers in yards per route run in 2021 and 11th out of 90 in 2020.
  • His target shares (and ranks among WRs) the last three years:
    • 2020: 26.7% (6th)
    • 2021: 24.5% (20th)
    • 2022: 22.1% (31st)

What to Expect in 2023
  • Meyers signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the Raiders in free agency. The contract lands him 27th among WRs in average annual salary (tied with Allen Lazard, who signed a four-year, $44 million deal with the Jets this offseason).
  • Meyers reunites with Raiders HC Josh McDaniels, who was Patriots OC for Meyers’ first three NFL seasons.
  • The Raiders lost 191 targets (32.6% of the team total) with the offseason departures of WR Mack Hollins and TEs Darren Waller and Foster Moreau.
  • Alpha WR Davante Adams returns after hogging 180 targets (30.7% share) last year. WR Hunter Renfrow is also back after a disappointing 2022 season (36-330-2 in 10 games).
  • Considering his recent production, contract, and history with McDaniels, Meyers looks like the clear favorite to be Vegas’ #2 WR this year.
  • The Raiders swapped out QB Derek Carr for QB Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason. That looks like a lateral move at best. Garoppolo beats Carr in career completion rate and yards per attempt, but he’s spent most of his time in Kyle Shanahan’s QB-friendly offense. Carr beat Garoppolo in Pro Football Focus passing grade in four straight seasons from 2018-2021 – although Garoppolo edged Carr last year.

Jakobi Meyers cleared for Week 3

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) practiced all week and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday night’s game vs. the Steelers. Meyers posted a big 9-81-2 line in the opener and is on the WR3 radar for Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was upgaded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He still has some work to do to clear the concussion protocol. We'll update Meyers' status again tomorrow.

Raiders HC Josh McDaniels said Monday that WR Jakobi Meyers is "headed in the right direction" as he moves through the league concussion protocol. That indicates optimism the WR will be ready for Week 3. We'll continue to track Meyers' progress this week. He's worth grabbing where available ahead of his return, though, after a big Week 1 receiving line.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Buffalo. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 3 after his big opener. Meyers' absence would seem to present opportunity for WR Hunter Renfrow, but Renfrow played exactly as little (13 snaps, nine routes) as WR Kristian Wilkerson in Week 1. So we're not looking to get the veteran slot man into fantasy lineups this week. Here's hoping you don't need any Raiders WR beyond Davante Adams, who could be in for a huge target share this week.

Dynasty Write-up
Meyers parlayed a productive final season with New England into a three-year deal ($21 million guaranteed). His payday suggests a hefty role under his former OC (now HC) Josh McDaniels. We just don’t see much long-term upside here — especially with Vegas unsure on their long-term QB. Note: Davante Adams is under contract through the 2026 season.
