• Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Snags four passes Sunday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Meyers notched four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win at Baltimore. Meyers made the most of his three targets in a season-opening loss to the Chargers, pacing the Raiders with 61 yards on three receptions. In Week 2, though, he took a back seat to No. 1 WR Davante Adams (9-110-1 on 12 targets) and rookie TE Brock Bowers (9-98-0 on nine targets), which likely will be the case most games for Las Vegas in 2024. Meyers' next opportunity to make a mark comes next Sunday against the Panthers.

• Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Leading receiver in Week 1 loss

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Meyers caught all three of his targets for 61 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers. Meyers' production included a 33-yard catch, which was the longest passing play for either team. He finished with a team-high 61 receiving yards, narrowly edging out Davante Adams (59 yards on six targets) and Brock Bowers (58 yards on eight targets). Adams and Bowers will likely continue to get most of the attention from quarterback Gardner Minshew, so Meyers may need to make the most of limited opportunities to find success in Week 2 against the Ravens and beyond.

• Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Not expected to play Friday

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Meyers and other starters aren't scheduled to play in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. It sounds like the Raiders may also hold out some of their better backups, as QB Aidan O'Connell isn't expected to play Friday night. Come Week 1, the team will have a strong group of pass catchers competing for targets from Gardner Minshew in a road game against the Chargers. It'll be tricky for Meyers to match his 2023 numbers for volume (106 targets in 16 games) or touchdowns (eight rushing, two receiving), but there's no question he'll be on the field for a lot of snaps as either the second or third option in the Raiders' passing game (depending on rookie TE Brock Bowers' usage/progress).

• Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Comes up empty on four targets

  08/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Meyers failed to bring in any of his four targets in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night. Three of the four targets Meyers saw came from Gardner Minshew on the opening possession, and the final one came on third down from the Cowboys' 11-yard line during the Raiders' second drive. Despite the goose egg Saturday, Meyers is expected to once again serve as a valuable target for either Minshew or Aidan O'Connell in the upcoming campaign after posting a 71-807-8 line across 16 regular-season games in 2023.

• Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Strong finish to season

  01/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Meyers caught three of five targets for 61 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos. Meyers improvised on a play on which he was expected to throw, reversing field and ultimately scampering into the end zone from close range. The wideout then found pay dirt again with a wide-open 33-yard grab to begin the fourth quarter. Despite inconsistent quarterback play, Meyers finished the season with 71 catches on 106 targets for 807 yards and nine total touchdowns.
