Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Eclipses century mark in loss
Jakobi Meyers secured eight of 11 targets for 105 yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.The veteran wideout was the leader across the board for the Raiders' pass catchers despite middling quarterback play from both Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder. Meyers' reception, yardage and target totals were also all season-high figures, and he now has at least six receptions in four of the last five games. It remains to be seen what quarterback Meyers will work with in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 coming out of a Week 10 bye, but the sixth-year pro should remain the clear-cut leader of the wideout corps under any circumstance.

Meyers was limited in practice to kick off Week 9 prep, but his full session Thursday sets the stage for him to join tight end Brock Bowers as the clear top targets in the passing game for quarterback Gardner Minshew in Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Gets in limited practice Wednesday
Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.In his return from a two-game absence due to the ankle injury, Meyers caught six of his seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown while playing 81 percent of the snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Top target in return
Jakobi Meyers recorded six receptions on seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.Meyers returned from a two-game absence and immediately led the Las Vegas Raiders in targets and receptions. He was heavily involved on the opening drive, converting a key first down with an 11-yard catch before finding the end zone from seven yards away. Meyers then tallied his longest catch of the day for 17 yards early in the second quarter, setting up a Las Vegas field goal. While his final stat line was modest, Meyers should dominate targets along with Brock Bowers moving forward.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Active in Week 8, as expected
Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Chiefs.Meyers was reported to be in line for a return from a two-game absence after wrapping up the practice week with a full session Friday, and his active status is now official. The veteran wideout returns to a notably altered wide receiver corps than the one he left, as Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets during Meyers' absence. Meyers will therefore assume the No. 1 receiver role moving forward, albeit with the inconsistent Gardner Minshew as his quarterback beginning with a difficult matchup against the Chiefs' talented secondary Sunday.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Limited in return to practice
Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.Meyers didn't practice in any capacity last week before missing a second straight game in Sunday's loss to the Rams, but his presence at Wednesday's session is an encouraging sign for his chances of playing this weekend against the Chiefs. Once Meyers returns to the lineup, a high-volume role should await him, given that the Las Vegas Raiders' former top wideout, Davante Adams, is now with the Jets.
