Meyers

Meyers actually had a chance to score in the first quarter, but Aidan O’Connell’s deep floater caused him to have to come back into the deepest defender on the sideline and he had to settle for a 43-yard catch. Meyers now has 25 targets in the last two weeks. Hard to call him anything less than a WR3 heading into Week 14’s game against the Buccaneers with this overall production profile, the shape of the Vegas passing game, and O’Connell’s performance today.

It was a season-high yardage total for Meyers as the Broncos focused on shutting down Brock Bowers. Meyers avoided Pat Surtain in coverage and was peppered by Gardner Minshew throughout. He even saw an end zone look from Desmond Ridder after Minshew left the game with a collar bone injury. Meyers, who has at least six receptions in five games this season, should be a top-30 fantasy play in Week 13 against a tough Kansas City secondary. Ridder represents a big downgrade for every Vegas pass catcher.

Meyers finished second on the team in targets but took a backseat to rookie tight end Brock Bowers this week. Bowers saw 16 targets and went for 126 yards and a touchdown. With Gardner Minshew attempting 43 passes, Meyer’s six targets were good for a measly 14 percent target share. Meyers and Bowers will continue to trade off high-volume games, but it’s painfully clear that Bowers is the better option for the success of the offense. Meyers should rebound in Week 12 versus the Broncos, but his WR2 aspirations have become WR3 reality moving forward.

Meyers was the Raiders’ top receiver, leading the team in targets, receptions, and yards. He has been consistently targeted on various crossing routes, screens, and downfield throws. Though the Raiders’ quarterback situation is tumultuous, Meyers remains a mainstay of the receiving corps. With five straight games of at least seven targets, Meyers is a fantasy WR2 moving forward.

Meyers was limited in Wednesday’s practice but returned for two full sessions before being removed from the injury report. He will likely have his practice reps managed going forward but isn’t at risk of missing any playing time barring any setbacks. Meyers reeled in 6-of-7 targets for 52 yards and a score in Week 8. Serving as the Raiders’ No. 1 receiver, Meyers is on the WR2/3 border for Week 9.

Wednesday was likely a maintenance day for Meyers, who got in a full practice on Thursday and should be good to go for Week 9 against the Bengals. Meyers caught six passes for 52 yards in last week’s loss to the Chiefs and has caught five or more passes in each of his last four games while scoring two touchdowns. He has a solid floor in PPR leagues and should be a fringe WR3/WR4 against the Bengals.

We can safely assume this is just a maintenance day for Meyers, who missed Weeks 6 and 7 with a high-ankle sprain. Fantasy managers can expect their WR2/3 to suit up against the Bengals on Sunday.

Meyers played well in his return from a high-ankle sprain, notably winning a contested catch against Chiefs S Justin Reid for a seven-yard touchdown. Meyers’ seven targets can hardly be considered a high-volume outing but he did lead the team in targets this week. He is WR3/4-viable against the Bengals in Week 9.

The Raiders No. 1 wide receiver returns after a two-week absence. He and Brock Bowers will do their best to give the Chiefs their first loss of the season. While the squad faces an uphill battle in that regard, the team at least has most of its starters available. The Raiders declared RB Dylan Laube, CB Sam Webb, WR Tyreik McAllister, LB Kana’i Mauga, OG Dylan Parham, TE Harrison Bryant and DT Zach Carter inactive.

Meyers has missed two games because of the ankle injury. He returned to practice Wednesday but was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday, casting doubt on his availability for Week 8. Meyers got back on the field on Friday before being listed as questionable. He will return to a team without Davante Adams, who is now a Jet. With only Brock Bowers competing with him for targets, Meyers has WR2 upside based on the potential for elite volume.
