After signing with the Raiders, Meyers is expected to be the No. 2 target in the passing game behind Davante Adams, making him worth drafting as a No. 4 Fantasy receiver with a mid- to late-round pick. In Las Vegas, Meyers should get a quarterback and offensive coaching upgrade with Jimmy Garoppolo and Josh McDaniels, who hopefully can get even more out of Meyers, who had a breakout year in 2022 by averaging 12.9 PPR points per game. He scored a career-high six touchdowns last season, and we'll see how he does operating opposite Adams. The Raiders also have Hunter Renfrow and Michael Mayer in need of targets, but Meyers should be a favorite option for Garoppolo. If things go right, Meyers could emerge as a weekly starter in three-receiver leagues.
Meyers (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Meyers was a full participant both Thursday and Friday after clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol. He missed Vegas' Week 2 loss to Buffalo after getting hurt late in the season opener against Denver. Meyers was integral to the win over the Broncos, scoring two touchdowns in his team debut. He's expected to return to a starting role on the outside opposite Davante Adams versus the Steelers.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Clear of concussion protocol
Rotowire
Meyes (concussion) has fully cleared the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reports.
Meyers practiced in full Thursday and looks fully on track for Sunday night's matchup against the Steelers. The No. 2 wideout sat out Week 2 due to a hit sustained during the Raiders' regular-season opener, a game in which he secured nine of ten targets for 81 yards and two scores prior to departing. Meyers retaking the field alongside Davante Adams will bode well for Jimmy Garoppolo's odds of finding success through the air versus Pittsburgh's secondary.

Rotowire
Meyers (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.
Meyers, who was inactive for the Raiders' Week 2 loss to the Patriots, was a limited practice participant Wednesday, but the wideout's full participation in Thursday's session has him trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Steelers.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Meyers (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Meyers, who suffered a concussion in Week 1, is "moving through the protocol the right way," according to head coach Josh McDaniels. With a limited session under his belt, Meyers has at least made progress on some level as he navigates the five-step protocol. In addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, Meyers may need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to have a realistic chance at suiting up Sunday against the Steelers.

Meyers entered the concussion protocol during the Raiders' Week 1 win over Denver and wasn't able to practice at all last week before sitting out the taem's blowout loss to Buffalo.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Coach Josh McDaniels said Monday that Meyers (concussion) is "headed in the right direction," but it's too early to know if he'll be cleared for the Raiders' home opener against the Steelers on Sunday night, Jimmy Durkin of the Athletic reports.
Meyers didn't play Week 2 after suffering a concussion during the season opener at Denver. The wideout made his presence felt before getting knocked out of that game, recording nine receptions (on 10 targets) for 81 yards and two touchdowns. McDaniels' comments are encouraging, but further clarity on Meyers' availability should surface Wednesday when the Raiders have to release their first injury report of Week 3.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Won't face Bills on Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Meyers didn't practice this week and will target a potential return to action Week 3 against the Steelers. Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN, in Meyers' absence, slot receiver Hunter Renfrow and rookie TE Michael Mayer are candidates to see additional Week 2 targets, while DeAndre Carter, Kristian Wilkerson and Tre Tucker are on hand to provide the Raiders with WR depth this weekend.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Not likely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said Friday that Meyers (concussion) is viewed as doubtful to play Sunday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Friday's injury report will confirm the wideout's official Week 2 injury designation, but at this stage, Meyers is trending toward missing Sunday's contest. With Meyers expected to be sidelined, the Raiders will turn to depth wideouts DeAndre Carter (knee), Kristian Wilkerson and Tre Tucker to pick up added snaps behind starters Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow.
Meyers (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.
Meyers was concussed toward the end of Week 1 and remains in the league's protocol with a pair of DNPs to open the week. At this point, it might be a surprise if he gains clearance ahead of Sunday's Week 2 date against the Bills. DeAndre Carter and rookie Tre Tucker will be asked to take on larger offensive roles should Meyers sit out.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Sidelined to begin week
Rotowire
Meyers (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Prior to taking a hit to the head from Broncos safety Kareem Jackson this past Sunday, Meyers had notched nine catches (on 10 targets) for 81 yards and two touchdowns. The aforementioned play in the waning moments of the fourth quarter of the Raiders' season-opening win sent Meyers into the concussion protocol, and he's yet to progress enough to step on the practice field. He'll have two more chances to practice this week, which also can be said for fellow wideouts Davante Adams (foot) and DeAndre Carter (knee), both of whom were sidelined to begin Week 2 prep. Aside from that trio, Hunter Renfrow, Kristian Wilkerson and Tre Tucker are the healthy wide receivers on the Raiders' active roster.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Still in concussion protocol
Rotowire
Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said Wednesday that Meyers remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers still has time to clear the five-step protocol ahead of Sunday's game in Buffalo, but his status will need to be monitored over the next few days. Prior to being forced out of this past weekend's 17-16 win over the Broncos, Meyers caught nine of his 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Meyers is in the league's five-step concussion protocol Monday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Meyers suffered a concussion during Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos, a contest that saw him secure nine of 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns. He suffered the injury on a hit from Kareem Jackson late in the fourth quarter. Meyers will need to gain full medical clearance before he can suit up again, making his status unclear for the Week 2 matchup in Buffalo. Hunter Renfrow would stand to step up behind Davante Adams if Meyers is forced to miss any time.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Possible concussion after two TDs
Rotowire
Meyers is being evaluated for a concussion after Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. Prior to getting injured in the fourth quarter, Meyers caught nine of 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns.
Meyers stayed down after a high hit from Kareem Jackson in the game's final minutes. After eventually being helped to his feet, Meyers was immediately taken to the locker room, per Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Gutierrez notes that Meyers was upright in the locker room, but the wide receiver will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance to build on his productive debut in Week 2 against the Bills.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Week 1 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'm not the biggest fan of the Raiders passing game with Jimmy Garoppolo under center this season, but Meyers should play a prominent role as the starter opposite Davante Adams. And Meyers could be looking at 100-plus targets, which is hard to overlook at this ADP or as someone to add with 1 percent of your remaining FAB where available. Being reunited with Josh McDaniels should be a positive for Meyers, and if Garoppolo isn't awful then Meyers might be a surprise Fantasy option.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Solid gain on one catch
Rotowire
Meyers brought in his only target for 18 yards in the Raiders' 34-17 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday night.
The veteran wideout made his one grab count, bringing in a pass from Jimmy Garoppolo on the Raiders' opening drive to take the ball down to the Rams' 19-yard line. Meyers should develop into a highly reliable short- and medium-range target for Garoppolo during the coming campaign while working alongside Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow in three-wide sets.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Lands in Las Vegas
Rotowire
Meyers agreed Tuesday with the Raiders on a three-year, $33 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Meyers heads to a familiar offensive scheme under head coach Josh McDaniels while landing a relatively affordable deal that includes $21 million guaranteed. After operating as New England's top wideout in recent years, Meyers now slots in as a comfortable No. 2 option behind top receiver Davante Adams, giving new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) a more complete complement of skill-position players. Meyers' departure leaves the Patriots with a significant void to fill in the passing game.

Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Suits up Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Meyers, who aggravated a shoulder injury during last week's win over the Dolphins, was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 18 availability confirmed, New England's top wide receiver should remain a key target for QB Mac Jones in a game that the team needs to win in order to secure a spot in the upcoming postseason. To date, Meyers has caught 64 of his 89 targets for 772 yards and five TDs, a rate of production that makes him the Patriots' most reliable pass-catcher from a fantasy perspective.

Rotowire
Meyers (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Following this past weekend's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, Meyers suggested that he was "fine" after aggravating his shoulder injury during the contest. That said, unless he returns to a full practice by Friday, the Patriots' top wide receiver is expected to approach Sunday's game against the Bills with an injury designation.

Prior to his exit from Sunday's tilt, Meyers managed to catch six of his nine targets for 48 yards and a TD. While the wideout's post-game comments would seem to indicate that he plans to play next weekend against the Bills, we'd still expect Meyers' name to appear on the Patriots' Week 18 injury report.
