I started the week skeptical of Meyers with the anticipation of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) returning to action, and Meyers was originally listed as a sit-in Start 'Em and Sit 'Em. That post might still show up on his player page on CBS, so ignore it. Thomas is out for the third game in a row, and I'm hopeful that Meyers will build on his outing from Week 11 against the Chargers, when he had five catches for 64 yards on six targets. Keep in mind that Trevor Lawrence only attempted 22 passes in that game, so clearly he was looking for Meyers, which hopefully will continue at Arizona. I like Meyers as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Meyers had a solid game in Week 11 against the Chargers with five catches for 64 yards on six targets, and he scored 11.4 PPR points. That was his first game with double digits in PPR since Week 2, and he's still looking for his first touchdown this season. Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) could return in Week 12 at Arizona after being out for the past two games, and we'll see how Thomas and Meyers work together. The Cardinals are also a tough matchup, and Arizona has allowed just five receiving touchdowns to wide receivers this season. Meyers is only worth starting in three-receiver leagues in this matchup.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Leads Jags wideouts in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Meyers caught five passes (on six targets) for 64 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
In his second game in a Jaguars uniform, Meyers operated as the team's WR1 due to the absence of Brian Thomas (ankle). Meyers finished Sunday's contest leading both teams in receptions and yards, though it was Tim Patrick who hauled in the Jaguars' lone touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence. Meyers has an 8-97-0 line (on nine targets) through his first two games as a Jaguar and has accumulated 38 catches (on 55 targets) for 416 yards through eight regular-season games. His volume will likely take a hit if Thomas is cleared to return for Jacksonville's Week 12 road clash against Arizona next Sunday.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Three grabs in Jags debut
Rotowire
Meyers caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.
Making his Jaguars debut after coming over from the Raiders at the trade deadline, Meyers had the longest reception of the day from Trevor Lawrence at 23 yards, but he was out-paced by Parker Washington in targets 7-3. Meyers will look to continue to build chemistry with his new QB in Week 11 against a familiar AFC West foe in the Chargers, and his volume should rise if Brian Thomas (ankle) remains sidelined for a second straight game.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Meyers was traded from Las Vegas to Jacksonville on Tuesday, and he might benefit this week if Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is out, along with Travis Hunter (knee) being on injured reserve. But that also means more attention from the Texans secondary, and Houston is No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Keep in mind that Meyers was having a down season before the trade with no touchdowns and five games in a row with 9.3 PPR points or less prior to Week 10. And the Texans have only allowed six receivers all season to score at least 10 PPR points, with only two touchdowns since Week 2. Meyers is only worth using in deep, three-receiver leagues.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Shipped to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Jaguars acquired Meyers from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.
A pending free agent, Meyers had made it clear that he wanted to be moved ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and the Raiders were able to find a suitor willing to take on the remainder of the wideout's $5.25 million base salary. In Jacksonville, Meyers will fill the void at receiver left when No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter (knee) landed on injured reserve last week. As was the case in Las Vegas during games in which tight end Brock Bowers was available, Meyers will face competition for targets with Jacksonville in the form of Brian Thomas (ankle), but there should be enough volume to go around for both wideouts to remain reasonably productive. Over his seven appearances for the Raiders this season, Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and no touchdowns on 49 targets.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Quiet in return Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (knee) finished with four receptions on six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Meyers joined TE Brock Bowers (knee) in returning to action out of Las Vegas' Week 8 bye after both starters missed time with minor knee injuries. The 28-year-old Meyers was unable to sniff his teammate's ridiculous 12-127-3 receiving line, instead finishing with his lowest yardage output of the season. With no touchdowns in seven games, Meyers has been a bit of a disappointment through the first half of the fantasy campaign with a 33-342-0 receiving line. If the 2-6 Raiders do not move their top trade asset before Tuesday's deadline, Meyers' next appearance will come against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Full practice after bye week
Rotowire
Meyers (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
The Week 8 bye apparently did him good, following an absence for the Raiders' embarrassing Week 7 loss to Kansas City. There hasn't been much good to say about the Las Vegas offense this season, but QB Geno Smith will at least have his main weapons healthy for the first time in a long time when he faces the Jaguars this Sunday. TE Brock Bowers (knee) was also a full participant Wednesday.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Should be back after bye
Rotowire
Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Meyers (knee/toe) and tight end Brock Bowers (knee) are both expected to return to action after the team's Week 8 bye, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers missed his first game of the season during Las Vegas' blowout 31-0 loss to the Chiefs in Week 7 while Bowers hasn't played since Week 4, but the Raiders anticipate having both pass catchers back in the lineup versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 2 in Week 9. Trade rumors have also surrounded Meyers in recent weeks, and back in late August he in fact requested to be dealt elsewhere by Las Vegas. The team's midseason respite could provide a space for the Raiders to explore options on that front prior to the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 4, but as long as he remains on the roster, Meyers projects to resume handling his usual starting role moving forward.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Inactive for first time this season
Rotowire
Meyers (knee/toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Though Meyers was able to take a questionable tag into the weekend after he followed up a pair of missed practices Wednesday and Thursday with a limited session Friday, the wideout ultimately didn't display enough progress in his recovery from the knee and toe injuries during a pregame workout to get the green light to play in Kansas City. With top tight end Brock Bowers (knee) also set to miss a third straight game, quarterback Geno Smith will be without his top two pass catchers in Week 7. The absences of Meyers and Bowers on Sunday should free up more opportunities in the passing game for tight end Michael Mayer, running back Ashton Jeanty and wideouts Tre Tucker, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton. With the Raiders on bye for Week 8, Meyers will set his sights on a return to action Nov. 2 versus the Jaguars.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Questionable after limited practice
Rotowire
Meyers (knee/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after returning to a limited practice Friday.
Meyers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to a limited session Friday is a positive indicator heading into the weekend. Fortunately for those considering Meyers in Week 7 fantasy lineups, the Raiders kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Meyers ends up being limited or ruled out this weekend, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and Alex Bachman (ankle) -- if he's available -- could see added opportunities versus Kansas City alongside fellow WR Tre Tucker.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Spotted at practice Friday
Rotowire
Meyers (knee/toe) is participating in practice Friday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
This is welcome news after Meyers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, though it remains to be seen whether Meyers goes down as a full or limited participant Friday. Las Vegas' injury report will come out later Friday ahead of Sunday's visit to Kansas City. If he's healthy enough to play, Meyers will try to snap out of a slump that has seen him fall short of 40 receiving yards in each of the past three games.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Meyers (knee/toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
After being on the field for 90 percent of the Raiders' snaps on offense in the team's Week 6 win over the Titans, a game in which Meyers caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, the wideout is managing a pair of injury issues ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Meyers now has two more chances to practice before Las Vegas assigns final Week 7 injury designations.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Meyers has disappeared in the past four games, and it's tough to trust him in the majority of leagues in Week 7 against the Chiefs. After starting the season with at least 12.8 PPR points in each of his first two games, Meyers has scored 9.3 PPR points or less in four games in a row. He's yet to score a touchdown this year, and he has two games in his past four outings with just four targets. The Chiefs are No. 9 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Meyers should struggle in this matchup in Week 7. Now, if you're looking for a sign of hope with Meyers, he did score at least 15.7 PPR points in each of his two games against Kansas City last season. But given his recent body of work, I would only start Meyers in three-receiver leagues.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Recent struggles continue
Rotowire
Meyers finished with four receptions on as many targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
Meyers' recent struggles continued, as he failed to eclipse 40 receiving yards for the third week running. At least the Raiders were able to pick up a win after losing their previous two contests during the wideout's current slump. Las Vegas is still without the services of star TE Brock Bowers (knee), so Meyers needs to step up his play for both his team and frustrated fantasy managers. Perhaps Meyers can turn his disappointing campaign around if he can find the end zone for the first time in 2025 against the Chiefs next Sunday.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Meyers has been a disappointment in each of the past three games against Washington, Chicago, and Indianapolis, and he scored 9.3 PPR points or less in each of those outings. But I like that he has 13 targets in his past two games against the Bears and Colts, and Brock Bowers (knee) is still banged up. This is a good matchup for Meyers against the Titans, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and five guys have scored at least 13.8 PPR points against Tennessee this season. I consider Meyers a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues, and you can also use Tre Tucker as a No. 3 receiver in Week 6.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers struggled the past two games against Washington and Chicago with a combined 16.3 PPR points, but he had seven targets against the Bears in a game where Geno Smith attempted just 21 passes. Meyers remains a go-to option for Smith, and he should start playing at a high level again, including in Week 5 against the Colts. Indianapolis is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and four receivers in the past three games scored at least 13.8 PPR points. I like Meyers as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Leads team with seven targets
Rotowire
Meyers brought in four of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to Chicago.
Meyers wound up leading the Raiders in targets, but the end result was a season low in receiving yards. The veteran wideout's yardage total has decreased on a weekly basis, but he was able to buck a similar trend in targets with Sunday's seven looks from Geno Smith. Meyers should continue providing a solid fantasy floor as the Raiders prepare to face the Colts next Sunday.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Three grabs in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Meyers caught three of four targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.
After seeing double-digit targets in each of the first two games of 2025, Meyers saw his volume crater in Week 3 as Tre Tucker instead got more of Geno Smith's attention. Meyers has still topped 60 receiving yards in three straight contests en route to a 17-228-0 line on 26 targets, and there could be plenty of volume to go around in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers is off to a great start with Geno Smith with 14 catches for 165 yards on 22 targets in two games against the Patriots and Chargers, and he scored at least 12.8 PPR points in each outing. This should be another game where Meyers gets plenty of volume, and he has scored at least 13.7 PPR points in four games in a row on the road. I like Meyers as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.
