Aidan O'Connell (knee) is back for the Raiders after missing Week 15 against Atlanta, and that's great news for Meyers. Meyers only scored 10.9 PPR points against the Falcons with Desmond Ridder at quarterback, but prior to that, Meyers had scored at least 13.7 PPR points in three games in a row and five of his past six outings. The Jaguars are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Meyers has top-15 upside in all leagues.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after returning to a full practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
As was the case ahead of Week 15 action, Meyers had his practice reps managed this week, but he'll be available Sunday and thus should remain a viable fantasy option given his high volume role in the Raiders offense. In 12 games overall this season, Meyers, who logged a 5-59-0 line on nine targets versus Atlanta this past Monday, has caught 71 of his 105 targets for 802 yards and two TDs.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Meyers, who also was limited Wednesday, logged back-to-back capped sessions last week as well before practicing fully Saturday and approaching this past Monday's game against the Falcons without an injury designation. Chances are that pattern will be repeated ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Jaguars, with Friday's final injury report set to confirm that notion either way.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers had his reps capped in practices Thursday and Friday due to the same injury, but he was deemed a full participant Saturday and entered Monday's loss to the Falcons without an injury designation. With no reported setbacks coming out of Monday's contest, Meyers' limitations Wednesday may have well been maintenance-related. The expectation is that Meyers will be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, a contest in which the Raiders should welcome Aidan O'Connell (knee) back to the lineup after the quarterback was inactive Week 15.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Leading receiver in MNF loss
Rotowire
Meyers had five receptions (on nine targets) for 59 yards while getting sacked for a 10-yard loss on his only passing attempt in Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons.
The Raiders tried to tap into Meyers' prior experience as a quarterback with an early trick play against Atlanta, but that plan backfired and resulted in a drive-killing sack. The versatile wideout had a solid receiving night all things considered, leading the Raiders in both targets and yards Monday. Meyers carries a high floor into a soft matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: All set for Monday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Falcons, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers' status never seemed to be in jeopardy, and after practicing fully Saturday he's set to reprise a role that has yielded 36 targets over the past three games. Whether the passing game will remain functional is another question entirely, as starter Aidan O'Connell is technically listed as questionable despite failing to practice all week due to a knee bruise. In the event O'Connell is ruled out, the Raiders would likely turn to Desmond Ridder, who has compiled 239 yards and a touchdown on 44 pass attempts scattered across three spot appearances this season.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) remained limited at practice Friday.
Meyers also was limited Thursday, so he'll likely need to practice fully Saturday in order to go into Monday night's game against the Falcons without an injury designation. The wideout approached Week 14 action listed as questionable due to his ankle issue, but he was able to suit up for this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers while logging a 91 percent snap share and catching seven of his 10 targets for 67 yards in the contest.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.
Though he headed into Week 14 action listed as questionable, Meyers was active for this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers en route to logging a 91 percent snap share and catching seven of his 10 targets for 67 yards. With no setbacks having been reported, there's a solid chance that Meyers' listed limitations Thursday were maintenance related ahead of Monday night's game against the Falcons.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
There's a chance Aidan O'Connell (knee) can play Monday night against Atlanta, which is good news for Meyers. But even if Desmond Ridder starts then you should still start Meyers as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He scored at least 13.7 PPR points in three games in a row against Denver, Kansas City and Tampa Bay, and he has 36 targets over that span. The Falcons are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 13.3 PPR points against Atlanta in the past four games, with 10 touchdowns over that span.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Co-leader in receptions Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers secured seven of 10 targets for 67 yards in the Raiders' 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Despite the disappointing team outcome and Aidan O'Connell's exit in the second half due to a knee injury, the ever-reliable Meyers turned in another productive effort that included a co-team-high reception total. The veteran wideout also set the pace in targets and finished just a yard short of drawing even with Michael Mayer for the team lead in receiving yards. Meyers has at least six catches in five of the last six contests heading into a Week 15 Monday night home matchup against the Falcons on Dec. 16.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Meyers had been listed as questionable heading into the day after being a mid-week addition to the Raiders' injury report due to the ankle issue. After sitting out Thursday's practice session, Meyers returned to the field Friday in a limited fashion and appears to have experienced no setbacks leading up to Sunday's game. Expect Myers and tight end Brock Bowers to be locked in as the clear top two options in the passing game for quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who threw 25 of his 35 attempts to the two pass catchers in last week's loss to the Chiefs.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Likely to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Meyers popped up on the injury report Thursday due to an ankle issue that kept him out of practice. However, he was a limited participant Friday and appears set to suit up against the Bucs on Sunday. Meyers has ascended to the role of Las Vegas' top wideout this season, and he's been productive of late with at least 97 receiving yards in three of his past four games, though he hasn't gotten into the end zone during that span.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Meyers wasn't able to practice Thursday due to an ankle injury. Coach Antonio Pierce told Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com on Friday that Meyers was "full go, ready to go," but the wide receiver ended up limited on the Raiders' final Week 14 injury report. Pierce's comments seem to indicate Meyers will be available Sunday, which won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Sidelined for practice due to ankle
Rotowire
Meyers didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Meyers wasn't listed on the Raiders' initial Week 14 injury report issued Wednesday, so the ankle issue may have been something that cropped up late in the team's first practice session of the week. Whatever the case, Meyers' absence from Thursday's practice now makes his status worthy of monitoring closely as Sunday's game at Tampa Bay approaches. Since returning to action Week 8 following a two-game absence -- also due to an ankle injury -- Meyers and rookie tight end Brock Bowers have earned heavy volume in the Las Vegas passing attack. Meyers is averaging 10 targets per game over his last five outings, stringing together a 34-403-1 receiving line in the process.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers comes into Week 14 having scored at least 15.7 PPR points in four of his past five games, including two in a row. He didn't slow down with Aidan O'Connell returning in Week 13 at Kansas City with six catches for 97 yards on 11 targets, and now he has a fantastic matchup in Week 14 at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 12.4 PPR points against Tampa Bay in the past five games. I'm viewing Meyers as a No. 1 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 14.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Just short of 100-yard mark in loss
Rotowire
Meyers secured six of 11 targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.
Meyers finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Brock Bowers for the Raiders on the afternoon. The veteran wideout's yardage total was his third highest of the season and maintained a recent pattern of strong play, as Meyers has generated both of his 100-yard efforts this season along with Friday's total within his last four games. The sixth-year pro has at least six catches in five of his last six contests as well and plenty of established chemistry with Aidan O'Connell, giving Meyers a bright outlook heading into a Week 14 road matchup against a vulnerable Buccaneers secondary on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Season-best numbers in loss
Rotowire
Meyers caught 10 of 15 targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.
The veteran wideout put together his best performance of 2024, with his receptions, targets and yards all being season highs. Meyers has produced a 28-306-1 line on 39 targets over the last four games, but he'll head into a Week 13 clash against Kansas City with uncertainty at quarterback -- Gardner Minshew (collarbone) was lost for the season Sunday, while Aidan O'Connell (thumb) may not be ready to return from IR.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Meyers had a solid game against the Broncos when they first met in Week 5 with six catches for 72 yards on nine targets, and we'll see if he can replicate his 13.2 PPR points in the rematch. He's coming off a down game in Week 6 at Miami with four catches for 28 yards on six targets, and he only has two touchdowns on the season. We'll see if he gets matched up with Patrick Surtain II, and so far he's been able to limit DK Metcalf (5.9 PPR points), George Pickens (4.9 PPR points), Mike Evans (3.7 PPR points), Garrett Wilson (9.1 PPR points), DeAndre Hopkins (9.6 PPR points) and Drake London (9.1 PPR points) to minimal production. I would only start Meyers in three-receiver leagues in Week 12.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Held in check by Dolphins
Rotowire
Meyers secured four of six targets for 28 yards and rushed once for 20 yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
It was an atypical stat line all the way around for Meyers, who recorded the longest rush of his career but also posted his lowest receiving yardage tally of the campaign. The veteran pass catcher did record at least four catches for the seventh straight game, but he's eclipsed the century mark only once, in Week 9 against the Bengals, over the course of the season. Meyers usually gets more mileage out of his pass-catching opportunities than he did Sunday, but he'll face a daunting task against the Broncos at home in Week 12.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers should benefit with Gardner Minshew remaining the starting quarterback for the Raiders heading into Week 11 at Miami, and I like Meyers as a solid No. 2 receiver in all leagues. He's hot coming off the bye for Las Vegas since he scored at least 17.2 PPR points in each of his past two games against the Chiefs and Bengals. He has 18 targets over that span for 14 catches, 157 yards, and a touchdown, and he should have success against the Dolphins, who have allowed five receivers to score at least 14 PPR points in the past three games.
