Limited practice Wednesday
Meyers (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: In his return from a two-game absence, Meyers caught six of his seven targets for 52 yards and a TD in this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, while recording an 81 percent snaps share on offense. With no reported setbacks in the contest, there's a decent chance Meyers' listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Top target in return
Meyers recorded six receptions on seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Meyers returned from a two-game absence and immediately led the 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.

Active in Week 8, as expected
Meyers (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Chiefs.
Analysis: 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…read more

Expected to be active Week 8
Meyers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game versus Kansas City, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Meyers missed the Raiders' past two contests due to an ankle injury, but he appears set to return Sunday against the Chiefs. The 27-year-old will likely function as Las Vegas' top wideout now that Davante Adams is a member of the Jets. Meyers has logged at least nine targets and 49 receiving yards in each of the past three games for which he's been able to suit up.

Questionable after full practice
Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after returning to a full practice Friday.
Analysis: Meyers was limited Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday and then was able to log a full session to close out the week. Earlier Friday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic relayed that head coach Antonio Pierce expects Meyers to play this weekend, with the wideout's participation level supporting that notion. Look for added context regarding his Week 8 availability to arrive via national reporters such as ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Misses practice Thursday
Meyers (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Meyers, who has missed two straight games, logged a limited practice Wednesday, so his non-participation a day later is notable. It remains to be seen if the downgrade is maintenance-related or indicative of a setback, with added context on that front slated to arrive no later than the release of Friday's final injury report.

Limited in return to practice
Meyers (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: 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 Raiders' former top wideout, Davante Adams, is now with the Jets.

Set to practice Wednesday
Meyers (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Meyers didn't practice last week before sitting out a second straight game in Sunday's 20-15 los to the Rams. The wideout's anticipated participation in Wednesday's session is a step in the right direction, but he'll probably need to practice fully by Friday on order to approach this weekend's game against the Chiefs without an injury designation.

Inactive Sunday
Meyers (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Meyers, who didn't practice this past week, headed into the weekend listed as doubtful. Now that he's been made inactive for the second straight game, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner are slated to lead the Raiders' Week 7 wideout corps, with Alex Bachman, Kristian Wilkerson and Tyreik McAllister also on hand.

Doubtful for Week 7
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Meyers (ankle) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's road game against the Rams, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers will miss his third straight practice of the week and likely his second consecutive game due to a lingering ankle injury. With Davante Adams having been traded to the Jets on Tuesday, Meyers will be in a position to work as Las Vegas' top wide receiver when he's available. However, things are trending toward Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson leading the Raiders' wide receiver corps Sunday, in addition to rookie phenom Brock Bowers at tight end.…read more

Still not practicing
Meyers (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Meyers didn't practice Wednesday, so what the wideout is able to do Friday will loom large in terms of his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Rams. With Davante Adams now a member of the Jets, Meyers, when he's healthy, will have an opportunity to see a steady share of WR snaps and targets in the Raiders offense as the season progresses.

Meyers (ankle) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Meyers, who missed last weekend's loss to the Steelers, thus has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. Once he's available to return to the' lineup, Meyers will have an opportunity to step in as the Raiders' No. 1 wideout after Davante Adams was traded to the Jets on Tuesday.

Returning to practice
Meyers (ankle) is expected to return to practice Wednesday, with Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce noting that he's hopeful the wide receiver can play Sunday against the Rams, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Meyers managed just one limited practice last week (Friday) and was downgraded from questionable to doubtful before being inactive ahead of the Raiders' eventual loss to the Steelers. He appears to have a good chance to return for Week 7, and after the Raiders traded Davante Adams to the Jets on Tuesday, Meyers is now locked in as the team's clear No. 1 wideout.

Sitting out in Week 6
Meyers (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Steelers.
Analysis: After logging one limited practice (Friday) during Week 6 prep, Meyers received a questionable designation ahead of the weekend, but his downgrade to doubtful Saturday signaled that he was destined for his first absence of the campaign due to an ankle injury. With Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third consecutive contest, the Raiders' receiving corps will be composed of Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson on Sunday.

Doubtful for Sunday
Meyers (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful Saturday for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Meyers likely to join Davante Adams (hamstring) on the sideline for Week 6, second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell will have few weapons to work with in his first start of 2024. Meyers had played in each of the Raiders' first five games, and he drew 19 targets over the past two weeks while Adams was out of the lineup.

Status in question for Week 6
Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With one limited practice (Friday) under his belt this week, Meyers' availability for Week 6 action won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up Sunday, he'll continue to serve as the Raiders' No. 1 WR with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third straight game.

Returning to practice Friday
Coach Antonio Pierce said Meyers (ankle) will take part in Friday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers has missed back-to-back sessions to begin Week 6 prep due to an ankle injury, but his return to drills is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers. Fellow WR Davante Adams (hamstring) isn't expected to be available for that contest, so Meyers' status is key for a banged-up Raiders receiving corps.

Logs another missed practice
Meyers missed his second straight practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: With top WR Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Meyers' status gains added import ahead of Week 6 action. A return to practice, in any capacity, on the part of Meyers on Friday would bode well for his chances of facing Pittsburgh, but he likely will need to practice fully in such a scenario in order to avoid an injury designation.

Meyers (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back absences make Friday's practice pivotal with regard to Meyers' Week 6 status ahead of Aidan O'Connell's first start of the season. Meyers (if healthy) and TE Brock Bowers profile as O'Connell's top targets, with Davante Adams (hamstring) still not practicing and potentially getting traded soon.

Dealing with ankle issue
Meyers didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: With Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Meyers' status is worth monitoring closely in the coming days. While Adams was sidelined for both of the past two games, Meyers took on a heightened role in the Las Vegas passing attack, producing an 11-121-0 receiving line on 19 targets between those contests.

Another nine targets
Meyers recorded six receptions on nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Meyers finished second on the team in targets behind Brock Bowers and now has 19 targets combined across two games without Davante Adams (hamstring). He also managed his highest yardage total of the season thanks to long gains of 21, 18 and 16 yards. Quarterback play will remain a question in Las Vegas, but Meyers should have a key role in the offense assuming Adams is traded, as is currently expected.

Ten targets in Adams' absence
Meyers caught five of 10 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Meyers paced the Raiders in targets and receiving yards in the absence of Davante Adams (hamstring). Adams is considered week-to-week, so Meyers could remain the team's de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Week 5 against the Broncos. Meyers has 19 targets over the last two games after being targeted only eight times in the first two games of the season.

Likely to see increased targets
Meyers is expected to see increased targets in Sunday's game against the Browns after Davante Adams (hamstring) was ruled out, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Already thin on wideout talent, the Raiders losing Adams opens up ample opportunity for players like Meyers and Tre Tucker. "I don't need another Davante. There's only one, right? I just need the best version of Jakobi Meyers," coach Antonio Pierce said Friday. While Meyers figures to see increased looks, Brock Bowers might be the biggest beneficiary and the favorite to lead the team in receiving against Cleveland.

Pads stats in garbage time
Meyers recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: The stat line suggests that Meyers took a significant step forward in opportunity, though how he got to those numbers is less inspiring. He had just one catch for zero yards at the start of the fourth quarter. With the Raiders down 33-7, Meyers went on to record a 13-yard touchdown and another lengthy reception of 16 yards -- the latter of which came from backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell -- to account for a significant amount of his production. Meyers will maintain a role in the offense…read more

Snags four passes Sunday
Meyers notched four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win at Baltimore.
Analysis: 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.

Leading receiver in Week 1 loss
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.
Analysis: 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.

Not expected to play Friday
Meyers and other starters aren't scheduled to play in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Comes up empty on four targets
Meyers failed to bring in any of his four targets in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.
Analysis: 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.

Strong finish to season
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.
Analysis: 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.

Six grabs in Sunday's loss
Meyers caught six of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Davante Adams monopolized the attention of rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell on the afternoon, but Meyers finished second on the Raiders in catches, targets and receiving yards. It's the first time the fifth-year wideout had seen double-digit targets since Week 7, and Meyers is just within striking distance of a new career high if he's able to produce 121 receiving yards in Week 18 against the Broncos -- a secondary he lit up for a 9-81-2 line in their first meeting this season way back in…read more

Meyers hauled in three of five targets for 42 yards during Monday's 20-14 victory in Kansas City.
Analysis: On a day in which Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell managed just 62 yards passing, Meyers paced the team in catches and receiving yards and ranked second in targets to only Davante Adams (six). It was a quiet follow-up to Meyers' Week 15, when he recorded touchdowns as both a receiver and passer in a 63-21 win against the Chargers. His next chance to produce arrives Sunday in Indianapolis.

Catches, throws TDs in big win
Meyers brought in two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown and completed both his pass attempts for 12 yards and another score in the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Meyers made a significant impact on just two touches, recording his seventh receiving touchdown of the season on a 22-yard grab late in the first quarter. He later added a three-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams to cap off the Raiders' opening drive of the second half after catching a wide receiver screen from Aidan O'Connell. Meyers now has reached the 60-catch mark for the third straight season, but it's worth noting his receiving score was only his second in the last seven games. Meyers…read more

Meyers caught five of six targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The Raiders' offense came out of the team's bye in a complete funk, but Meyers was still able to haul in at least four passes for the third straight game, although his grabs didn't produce much yardage. The fifth-year wideout hasn't seen double-digit targets since Week 7, but he'll look to break out in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Variety of involvement Sunday
Meyers caught six of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown while adding one rushing attempt for two yards and throwing a pass attempt that fell incomplete in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Meyers wound up leading the team in receiving in addition to his pair of unconventional touches Sunday, as Las Vegas' coaching staff was intent on getting its budding star back on track. The NC State product was recruited as a quarterback out of high school, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that teams have attempted to utilize that additional skill on trick plays.

Four catches in Week 11 loss
Meyers secured four of five targets for 49 yards in the Raiders' 20-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers was third on Las Vegas in receptions, tied for third in targets and second in receiving yards on the afternoon, but all three totals were modest. After a busy first six games of the season, Meyers' catch and yardage tallies Sunday were his best since Week 7, while his target total tied for his highest in that sample. Meyers will aim to keep building on his rapport with rookie signal-caller Aidan O'Connell in a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs.

Meyers was held to two catches on as many targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers finished with two or fewer receptions for the third consecutive week following his blazing start to the season with Las Vegas. He was able to negate last week's dip in usage by scoring the first rushing touchdown of his career against the Giants, but there were no unexpected bonuses this time around.

The versatile wideout has now thrown, ran and caught a touchdown over the course of his five years in the league.

Finds end zone again Sunday
Meyers caught seven of 13 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: The touchdown came in garbage time after rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell had replaced Brian Hoyer under center. Meyers has scored a TD in three straight games and five times total on the year, a big leap from his Patriot days when he found the end zone only twice in his first three seasons. Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is expected back in Week 8 against the Lions, but Meyers has shown he can be productive no matter who is throwing him the ball.

Meyers had five receptions on six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over New England.
Analysis: The Patriots' defense zoned in on No. 1 wideout Davante Adams, affording Meyers the opportunity to catch the Raiders' lone offensive touchdown Sunday. The former Patriot made his old club pay in the narrow victory, but he may be without his starting quarterback after Jimmy Garoppolo was knocked out of the game with a back injury.

Analysis: The Raiders didn't practice Wednesday after playing Monday, but Meyers would have been limited had the team held a formal session.

Overlooked by O'Connell
Meyers recorded two receptions on four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Meyers had proven to be a key target for Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) in two games this season, commanding 10 and 12 targets. However, he lost out significantly with Aidan O'Connell under center, as Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs were the only two pass catchers to be targeted more than four times. The good news for Meyers is that Garoppolo is likely to return in time for a Week 5 matchup against the Packers.

Garners 12 targets on SNF
Meyers (concussion) turned 12 targets into seven receptions for 85 yards in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Meyers returned from a one-game absence after clearing the league's concussion protocol, resuming his role as the Raiders' No. 2 wideout. His 12 targets finished only behind teammate Davante Adams, who racked up a whopping 13-172-2 receiving line on 20 targets. Meyers still finished with a strong fantasy line in his own right, and he has now recorded double-digit targets in both of his active games since joining Las Vegas this past offseason. With his health back in order and a significant role…read more

Good to go for Week 3
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.
Analysis: 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.

Clear of concussion protocol
Meyes (concussion) has fully cleared the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reports.
Analysis: 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.

Full practice participant
Meyers (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: 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. The Raiders haven't yet confirmed whether Meyers has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but added clarity on that front will arrive no later than Friday, when Las Vegas posts its final Week 3 injury report.

Logs limited practice
Meyers (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Returning to practice
Meyers (concussion) will practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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. He could be back Sunday against Pittsburgh and should be the second option in the Raiders' passing game if he can clear the five-step protocol.

Trending in right direction
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.
Analysis: 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.

Won't face Bills on Sunday
Meyers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: 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.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said Wednesday that Meyers remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Meyers is in the league's five-step concussion protocol Monday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Possible concussion after two TDs
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.
Analysis: 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.

Solid gain on one catch
Meyers brought in his only target for 18 yards in the Raiders' 34-17 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday night.
Analysis: 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.

Lands in Las Vegas
Meyers agreed Tuesday with the Raiders on a three-year, $33 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: 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.

Meyers (shoulder) caught three of seven targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Meyers' two-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was reviewed, but the touchdown call stood after the replay official ruled that he managed to get both feet down in the back of the end zone. The pending unrestricted free agent finishes the season on a three-game touchdown streak, raising his season totals to 67 catches, 804 yards and six touchdowns on 96 targets.

He did play somewhat less than usual -- 62 percent snap share, compared to 80-plus every week in the first half of the season -- but there was no report of any setback.

The wideout downplayed the injury following the game, and his participation at practice Monday, albeit in a limited fashion, is an encouraging sign. Meyers will have two more opportunities to log a full session before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's divisional clash against Buffalo.

Dealing with shoulder issue
Meyers downplayed the shoulder issue he dealt with during Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports. "Sore. I'll be alright though," Meyers said of his shoulder following the contest. "It started to feel better as the game went on."
Analysis: Though Meyers was limited to 16 snaps versus the Vikings, he still managed to catch three passes (on four targets) for 62 yards in the contest. Look for the Patriots' top wideout to appear on next week's injury report ahead of the team's Dec. 1 game against the Bills. At this stage, however, Meyers looks like he's on track to be available for the Week 13 matchup.

Solid yardage total in loss
Meyers brought in three of four targets for 62 yards in the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis: Meyers had the rare experience of being outpaced in catches by two of his position mates, Nelson Agholor (six receptions) and DeVante Parker (four grabs). However, the 26-year-old wideout did post his third-highest yardage total of the campaign and best since Week 5, making it a reasonably productive night overall. Meyers now takes aim at the tough Bills secondary next Thursday night in a critical Week 13 home divisional matchup.

Notches sixth 50-yard game of 2022
Meyers caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers tied Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in targets and finished four receiving yards shy of the running back's team-high total. New England's offense didn't get into the end zone, as the game's only touchdown came on a Patriots punt return in the final minute. Meyers is rarely a threat to score himself -- he has only five receiving touchdowns in 54 career NFL games -- but he's been a reliable chain-mover for New England, accruing over 50 yards in six of eight games this season.

Targeted six times in win
Meyers recorded five receptions on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.
Analysis: The Patriots didn't need to get aggressive on offense in order to win, and that was reflected in Meyers' stat line. He managed at least five receptions for the fourth time in seven games on the campaign but still came away with his second-lowest yardage total in that same span. The Patriots will head into their bye and may return to another slow-paced game dominated by defense in Week 11 against the Jets.

Five-yard TD among nine catches
Meyers caught nine of 12 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers gave the Patriots a 13-10 lead with a five-yard touchdown catch early in the third quarter as the Patriots dinked and dunked their way to victory. In addition to scoring the team's only touchdown, the shifty slot receiver led New England in targets and catches while finishing 12 receiving yards short of Rhamondre Stevenson's team-high total. Stevenson and Meyers are the only skill players seeing consistent usage for the Patriots heading into the team's Week 9 game against the Colts.

Finds end zone in MNF loss
Meyers caught both his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Meyers made a splash early in the game by hauling in a 30-yard pass from Bailey Zappe to account for New England's first score of the game. However, he largely disappeared from there and was out-targeted by both DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton. It was only Meyers' fourth career touchdown across 51 games, and he is typically reliant upon target volume to be productive. Whether Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones is at quarterback, if the Patriots' offense continues to spread the ball around, Meyers…read more

Four-catch afternoon in win
Meyers (knee) brought in all four targets for 60 yards in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers finished with a second straight solid stat line after posting a 7-111-1 line on eight targets in his Week 5 return. The fourth-year pro may be dealing with lingering knee issues for some time, but as the last two games have demonstrated, they aren't impeding his production. Meyers figures to be busy once again in a Week 7 Monday night home matchup versus the Bears.

Meyers (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Meyers, who returned to action last weekend against the Lions after missing two games, practiced in a limited fashion this week, but he'll be out there on the heels of recording a 7/111/1 stat line on eight Bailey Zappe targets in Week 5. Despite having suited up for just three contests to date, Meyers still leads the Patriots in catches (20), targets (27) and receiving yards (261) to go along with the TD he scored against Detroit.

Analysis: Meyers -- who also was limited Wednesday -- had his practice reps managed last week as well, but he was able to put together a 7-111-1 receiving line on eight targets in this past Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions.

The fourth-year wideout added his first touchdown of the season for good measure, scoring from 24 yards out in tandem with rookie signal-caller Bailey Zappe late in the third quarter.

Double-digit targets
Meyers caught nine passes for 95 yards on 13 targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers was less explosive than Nelson Agholor (six catches for 110 yards and one touchdown on six targets) but more than doubled Agholor's target volume. It's a reminder that Meyers is more of a floor player than a ceiling one, but if he keeps getting double-digit targets the truly big game will happen eventually.

Analysis: Meyers has been limited during offseason activities due to "bumps and bruises," but he's expected to be fine by the start of training camp. The undrafted wideout led New England in receiving yards last year, but he'll have competition for targets after the Patriots traded for DeVante Parker this offseason.

Meyers finished the 2021 regular season with a team-high 83 catches on 126 targets for 866 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 17 games.
Analysis: Per Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site, Meyers is a pending restricted free agent this offseason, but we'd expect the team to find a way to retain the 25-year-old in 2022. With that in mind, Perillo suggests that a second-round tender probably would facilitate such an outcome.

Analysis: Meyers was limited at practice this past week as he continues to manage a thigh issue he played through in Weeks 17 and 18. Assuming no in-game setbacks, he'll continue to head the Patriots' wideout corps Saturday along with Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Over the course of 17 regular-season outings, Meyers led the team with 83 catches (on 126 targets) for 866 yards and a pair of TDs, a rate of production on the part of the 25-year-old that yielded fantasy relevance in PPR formats.

Still dealing with thigh injury
Meyers (thigh) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Meyers is operating under the same practice regimen for a third straight week. In the final two games of the regular season, he still logged at least 77 percent of the offensive snaps on both occasions, reeling in 12 of 16 targets for 143 yards and one touchdown. Even if his reps continue to be managed Wednesday and Thursday and he enters the weekend as questionable, Meyers doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out Saturday's wild-card contest in Buffalo.

Four catches in Sunday's loss
Meyers caught four of eight targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 33-24 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: It was the fifth time this season Meyers has hauled in at least 70 yards in a game, but the only scoring plays he was involved in went the other way -- he was Mac Jones' intended target on a pick-six in the first quarter, and the third-year wideout was then charged with a fumble on the final play of the game as he tried to pitch it to a teammate, resulting in a Miami recovery in the end zone for a second defensive TD. Meyers wraps up a career-best regular season with 87 catches on 130 targets…read more

Active for Sunday's game
Meyers (thigh) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Meyers, who practiced in a limited fashion this past week, will give it a go Sunday and should head the Patriots' Week 18 wideout corps along with Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Heading into the team's regular-season finale, Meyers has complied a 79-796-2 stat line on 118 targets through 16 games to date, production that makes him worthy of fantasy lineup consideration, especially in PPR formats.

Questionable for Sunday
Meyers (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing in a limited fashion this past week.
Analysis: Given the 'questionable' designation, Meyers' status is worth verifying ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but it'd be a surprise if he wasn't out there Sunday alongside fellow wideouts Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Assuming he's active, Meyers, who has logged a 79-796-2 stat line on 118 targets through 16 games, merits Week 18 fantasy consideration, notably in PPR formats.

Another limited session
Meyers (thigh) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: So far, there's nothing to suggest that Meyers' availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins is in danger, but it still seems likely that the wideout will head into the weekend with an official 'questionable' Week 18 injury designation.

Logs limited practice
Meyers (thigh) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Meyers was listed as questionable with the same injury for Week 17, but he proceeded to play through the health concern in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, playing 56 of the Patriots' 72 offensive snaps and finishing with eight catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Meyers may have just received some extra maintenance to begin Week 18.

Leads team in receptions
Meyers (thigh) brought in all eight targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 50-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers paced the Patriots in receptions while checking in just behind Kendrick Bourne in receiving yardage. The third-year pro posted his best catch total since Week 4 while taking advantage of the absences of both Nelson Agholor (concussion) and N'Keal Harry (coach's decision), and his four-yard scoring grab just before halftime was only his second touchdown of the campaign. Meyers will have one final regular-season tune-up for the playoffs when he tangles with the Dolphins in Week 18.

Meyers (thigh) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: With Nelson Agholor (concussion) having previously been ruled out for the contest and N'Keal Harry (hip) inactive, Meyers should be in line to head the Patriots' Week 17 wideout corps along with Kendrick Bourne, with Gunner Olszewski and Kristian Wilkerson candidates to mix in as well. Meyers has carved out a degree of utility in PPR formats this season by logging a 71-723-1 receiving line (on 110 targets) over the course of 15 games.

Meyers (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Meyers was able to practice in a limited fashion this past week, so he'll likely have a good chance of getting cleared ahead of Sunday's game, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. With Nelson Agholor (concussion) ruled out, Meyers -- if active -- would be in line to head the Patriots' Week 17 wideout corps along with Kendrick Bourne and N'Keal Harry.

Meyers (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Meyers has typically avoided New England injury reports this season, but he's tending to a thigh issue in the aftermath of the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bills. Fortunately for the third-year wideout he's at least been able to practice in some capacity for the Patriots' first two sessions of the week, a sign that he'll likely be ready to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Limited by thigh issue
Meyers was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a thigh injury.
Analysis: Meyers is a newcomer to the Patriots' injury report, so his status is worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. In this past weekend's loss to the Bills, the wideout logged 48 of a possible 64 snaps on offense and caught six of his eight targets for 59 yards.

Six catches in Week 16 loss
Meyers caught six of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 33-21 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Meyers led the Patriots in targets, catches and receiving yards as Mac Jones mustered just 145 passing yards. Jones went the entire month of December without throwing a touchdown to a wide receiver, but Meyers continues to play a prominent role in the Patriots' passing game despite having just one touchdown catch in his three seasons with the team. A Week 17 visit from the lowly Jaguars offers a nice opportunity for Meyers to make another rare visit to the end zone.

Six grabs in Saturday's loss
Meyers caught six of 12 targets for 44 yards in Saturday's 27-17 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: He tied Hunter Henry for the team lead in catches while leading all receivers on the night in targets as the Patriots played catch-up in the second half, but the volume didn't result in much production for Meyers. It's the third time this season he's seen double-digit passes thrown his way, but game script might not be in his favor in Week 16 against the Bills, even if the weather is a little less harsh than it was in their first meeting this season.

Not targeted Monday
Meyers was not targeted in Monday night's 14-10 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Meyers was not alone among target-less Patriots, as the team threw the ball merely three times amid extremely windy conditions. With both of Mac Jones' completions going to non-wideouts, it was an unusual outing for New England's receiving corps, yet still effective enough to win. Meyers and company will now embark on their bye week before returning the play the Colts in Week 15.

Just under 100 yards in win
Meyers caught five of eight targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Meyers set a new season high in receiving yards, topping his Week 3 output against the Saints by four. He still has only one career touchdown, but the 25-year-old wide receiver has carved out a consistent role in New England's offense, catching at least four passes in all but one game this season.

Analysis: Meyers, who out-snapped fellow wideouts Nelson Agholor (49), Kendrick Bourne (29) and N'Keal Harry (26) in the contest, wound up with four catches on a team-high six targets for 39 yards.

Scores at long last
Meyers caught four passes for 49 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: On his 135th NFL reception Meyers finally found the end zone, albeit from Brian Hoyer in garbage time rather than starter Mac Jones. Hopefully it's not such a long wait for touchdown No. 2 -- indeed, with Meyers' target volume, he's a good bet to find the end zone a few more times before the season is over. That's particularly true if Jones can build on his three-touchdown showing against the Browns. Meyers projects well against the Falcons on Thursday.

Just one catch in win
Meyers had one reception (four targets) for eight yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over Carolina.
Analysis: The Patriots' passing offense wasn't used much as a whole in a game that they comfortably led wire to wire. That said, Meyers has hit a bit of a rough patch in terms of efficiency, posting a poor catch rate of 39 percent over his last two contests. The 24-year-old will try and reverse his fortunes in a tough matchup against the Browns in Week 10.

Meyers caught four of nine targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: He tied Kendrick Bourne for the team lead in receptions and led New England in targets, but Meyers' longest grab went for only 17 yards as the Pats weren't able to produce much offense through the air. The 37 yards were a season low for the third-year receiver, but Meyers may have a tough time producing much more in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Though he has yet to record a regular-season receiving TD in his NFL career, Meyers maintains PRR utility, given his steady dose of playing time and targets.

Meyers hauled in five of his six targets for 44 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Meyers, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in the contest, is averaging six catches and 57.7 receiving yards per game, numbers that put him on the PPR radar. While the third-year wideout has yet to be credited with a regular-season TD, that almost changed Sunday before his 25-yard catch-and-run was called back due to a penalty.

Totals 56 yards
Meyers recorded four receptions on five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Meyers was targeted five times, good enough for second on the team. However, his upside was greatly limited by a wide distribution of targets with seven different Patriots seeing multiple targets. His performance Sunday was highlighted by catches of 24 and 17 yards, and he now has at least one reception of more than 20 yards in every contest this season. Overall, Meyers has racked up at least 50 receiving yards in each of his last three games heading into a Week 6 matchup against Dallas.

Sees double-digit targets again
Meyers had eight receptions (12 targets) for 70 yards while also completing both of his pass attempts for 45 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Meyers turned in another solid fantasy line, leading the team in receptions and targets for the second week in a row. The 25-year-old also gave his managers a little boost on a couple of trick plays resulting in 45 passing yards. This isn't the first time Meyers has been used as a passer, as he also completed two passes on trick plays last season. The third-year man is looking like the Patriots' top receiving option heading into a soft matchup against the Texans in Week 5.

Analysis: Meyers and Kendrick Bourne (six receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown) both posted big fantasy lines with the Patriots playing from behind for the entire contest. Starter Nelson Agholor struggled having to deal with shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore, which explains the uptick in usage for his fellow wideouts.

Meyers caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 22-20 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Meyers' three looks all came from Cam Newton, including one that was intercepted due to Meyers' inability to make a tightly contested grab down the seam. While it remains unclear who will be his starting quarterback for Week 1's matchup against the Dolphins, Meyers' role with New England's first-team offense should give him decent value whether Newton or rookie Mac Jones is under center.

Steady effort in camp
Meyers has "picked up where he left off last year, and been the most dependable target" for the Patriots in training camp thus far, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.

Meyers caught two of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Meyers accounted for nearly a third of the team's targets but gained positive yardage on only one play as the running game and defense took center stage in the blowout. He came into the game having topped 50 yards in five of his last six games, and his relative lack of production in this one can mostly be attributed to the lopsided score. With that said, Meyers will be hard-pressed to produce big numbers in Thursday's matchup against the talented Rams secondary.

Meyers finished fifth on the team in receiving yards and tied for fourth in targets, while Damiere Byrd paced the team with 132 receiving yards and a touchdown. Meyers will likely draw the attention of top Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson in Week 12, which will make the No. 1 receiver in New England's inconsistent-at-best passing attack a risky option coming off this disappointing outing.

Analysis: Meyers was averaging 51.7 yards per game over his prior three outings, but New England went in a different direction Sunday. The Patriots are notorious for changing things up to suit the week's matchup, but -- after recording just one catch in Week 14 -- Meyers' seven offensive snaps Sunday seem like part of a downturn. He's a very tough play Saturday, especially against Buffalo's third-ranked pass defense.

Catches 35-yard pass
Meyers was on the field for 38 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs, en route to hauling in one of his three target for 35 yards.
Analysis: Looking ahead, Meyers profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, as QB Tom Brady has yet to develop a consistent rapport in the passing game with anyone other than Julian Edelman and running back James White.

Targeted seven times in Week 13
Meyers was on the field for 61 of a possible 87 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Meyers caught three of his seven targets for 46 yards Sunday, but looking ahead, he could see his workload reduced once Mohamed Sanu (19 snaps) and Phillip Dorsett (22 snaps) are closer to 100 percent.

Catches four passes for 74 yards
Meyers logged 54 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-9 win over the Cowboys, en route to catching four passes on nine targets for a season-high 74 yards.
Analysis: Meyers' increased involvement in the Patriots offense was the result of both Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle) being inactive Sunday. Rookie N'Keal Harry also saw added work Week 12, recording 57 offensive snaps and turning his only catch (on four targets) into a 10-yard TD. Meyers' fantasy import in next Sunday's game against the Texans hinges on the status of Dorsett and Sanu, but he's at least demonstrated that he can produce when afforded ample playing time.

Targeted twice in win
Meyers caught one of his two targets for a seven-yard gain during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: He followed up a one-snap, no-target outing in Week 9 with a 19-snap, one-catch game against the Eagles. Granted, that total is far from noteworthy from a fantasy perspective, but Meyers has shown to be serviceable when given the opportunity -- especially as an undrafted rookie. He may get that opportunity in Week 12 with the Patriots potentially missing Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) not 100 percent. Depending on their health, Meyers could see a few more targets…read more

Sees just one snap in Week 9
Meyers logged just one of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: The Patriots ran plenty of three-receiver sets Sunday, but turned almost exclusively to Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett on that front. Meyers thus slots in no higher than New England's No. 4 option at the position, and he could drop another notch once rookie N'Keal Harry re-joins the mix, possibly as soon as Week 11, following the team's bye week..
