  • Nine targets in Week 17 win

    Meyers caught six of nine targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Meyers fumbled on a failed lateral attempt to Travis Etienne in the first quarter, but the veteran wide receiver was otherwise his usual steady self. This was Meyers' seventh consecutive game with at least four catches, and he has at least 39 receiving yards in all eight of his appearances for the Jaguars after coming over from the Raiders in a midseason trade. Meyers will remain a reliable target in the short and intermediate range when the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South in a Week 18 home…read more

  • Held to 46 yards

    Meyers recorded four receptions on eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. He added one rush for one yard.

    Analysis: Parker Washington took over as the Jaguars' top pass catcher in the win, though Meyers still managed eight targets -- his second-highest mark with the team. He failed to record a catch on his first three opportunities, though he managed to make a 25-yard reception just before halftime, setting up a field goal. Meyers continues to have a consistent role in the team's offense, though he's now been held to 50 yards or fewer in four of seven games with the Jaguars.

  • Inks three-year extension with Jags

    Meyers and the Jaguars agreed to terms on a three-year, $60 million extension Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: This new contract includes $40 million in guarantees. Since arriving in Jacksonville at the trade deadline in early November, Meyers has helped the Jaguars go 5-1 by hauling in 27 of 38 targets for 355 yards and three touchdowns during that span. He'll now be tied to the organization through the 2028 campaign.

  • Seven targets tie for team lead

    Meyers caught five of seven targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Meyers saw his touchdown streak end at three games, but he remained heavily involved, tying Brian Thomas for the team lead in targets while finishing two receiving yards shy of Travis Etienne's team-high total. Meyers is locked in as a key piece of a surging Jaguars offense that has averaged 33.3 points in six games since acquiring the veteran wide receiver in a trade with the Raiders. Denver's elite defense will try to slow Meyers and the Jaguars down in Week 16.

  • Earns 10 targets

    Meyers recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts. He added three rushes for nine yards.

    Analysis: Meyers continued to solidify himself as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target, and he took advantage of Parker Washington's (hip) absence to log his first double-digit target performance since Week 2. He was inefficient with the opportunity, though he did manage a 14-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter -- his most impactful play in the blowout win. Meyers has now found the end zone in three straight games and has at least six targets in each of his last four contests.

  • Big performance against Titans

    Meyers recorded six receptions on six targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans. He added one rush for three yards.

    Analysis: Meyers continues to build rapport with Trevor Lawrence, and he was clearly the Jaguars' best receiver in Sunday's blowout win. He may have benefitted from the departure of Parker Washington (hip) with a few extra targets in the second half, though Meyers accounted for most of his production before Washington's absence. He caught a deep pass over the middle of the field late in the first quarter that went for 50 yards, and he capped off the same drive with a three-yard touchdown reception.…read more

  • Scores first TD of season with JAX

    Meyers hauled in four of six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.

    Analysis: Meyers finally hit pay dirt with his first touchdown as a member of the Jaguars since being traded from the Raiders on Nov. 4. It was also the veteran wideout's first touchdown of the season after being held scoreless over his previous nine appearances overall. Meyers has become more comfortable in Jacksonville's offense with each passing week, which should excite fantasy managers with thoughts of a strong run to close out the regular season. The 28-year-old will attempt to build off of this…read more

  • Leads Jags wideouts in Week 11 win

    Meyers caught five passes (on six targets) for 64 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: In his second game in a Jaguars uniform, Meyers operated as the team's WR1 due to the absence of Brian Thomas (ankle). Meyers finished Sunday's contest leading both teams in receptions and yards, though it was Tim Patrick who hauled in the Jaguars' lone touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence. Meyers has an 8-97-0 line (on nine targets) through his first two games as a Jaguar and has accumulated 38 catches (on 55 targets) for 416 yards through eight regular-season games.

  • Three grabs in Jags debut

    Meyers caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Making his Jaguars debut after coming over from the Raiders at the trade deadline, Meyers had the longest reception of the day from Trevor Lawrence at 23 yards, but he was out-paced by Parker Washington in targets 7-3. Meyers will look to continue to build chemistry with his new QB in Week 11 against a familiar AFC West foe in the Chargers, and his volume should rise if Brian Thomas (ankle) remains sidelined for a second straight game.

  • Shipped to Jacksonville

    The Jaguars acquired Meyers from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: A pending free agent, Meyers had made it clear that he wanted to be moved ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and the Raiders were able to find a suitor willing to take on the remainder of the wideout's $5.25 million base salary. In Jacksonville, Meyers will fill the void at receiver left when No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter (knee) landed on injured reserve last week.

  • Quiet in return Sunday

    Meyers (knee) finished with four receptions on six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Meyers joined TE Brock Bowers (knee) in returning to action out of Las Vegas' Week 8 bye after both starters missed time with minor knee injuries. The 28-year-old Meyers was unable to sniff his teammate's ridiculous 12-127-3 receiving line, instead finishing with his lowest yardage output of the season. With no touchdowns in seven games, Meyers has been a bit of a disappointment through the first half of the fantasy campaign with a 33-342-0 receiving line.

  • Full practice after bye week

    Meyers (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Week 8 bye apparently did him good, following an absence for the Raiders' embarrassing Week 7 loss to Kansas City. There hasn't been much good to say about the Las Vegas offense this season, but QB Geno Smith will at least have his main weapons healthy for the first time in a long time when he faces the Jaguars this Sunday. TE Brock Bowers (knee) was also a full participant Wednesday.

  • Should be back after bye

    Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Meyers (knee/toe) and tight end Brock Bowers (knee) are both expected to return to action after the team's Week 8 bye, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meyers missed his first game of the season during Las Vegas' blowout 31-0 loss to the Chiefs in Week 7 while Bowers hasn't played since Week 4, but the Raiders anticipate having both pass catchers back in the lineup versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 2 in Week 9. Trade rumors have also surrounded Meyers in recent weeks, and back in late August he in fact requested to be dealt elsewhere by Las Vegas.

Fantasy managers will want to prepare to have another lineup option available in the event that Meyers is made inactive for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Meyers (knee/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after returning to a limited practice Friday.

    Analysis: Meyers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to a limited session Friday is a positive indicator heading into the weekend. Fortunately for those considering Meyers in Week 7 fantasy lineups, the Raiders kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Meyers ends up being limited or ruled out this weekend, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and Alex Bachman (ankle) -- if he's available -- could see added opportunities versus Kansas City alongside fellow WR Tre Tucker.

    Analysis: This is welcome news after Meyers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, though it remains to be seen whether Meyers goes down as a full or limited participant Friday. Las Vegas' injury report will come out later Friday ahead of Sunday's visit to Kansas City. If he's healthy enough to play, Meyers will try to snap out of a slump that has seen him fall short of 40 receiving yards in each of the past three games.

Friday's session thus looms large in terms of the availability of Meyers for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

At least the Raiders were able to pick up a win after losing their previous two contests during the wideout's current slump.

  • Low output despite Bowers absence

    Meyers secured four of six targets for 32 yards in the Raiders' 40-6 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Brock Bowers (knee) unavailable, the expectation was that Meyers would be even busier than usual in his role as the Raiders' No. 1 receiver. However, all of Tre Tucker, Ashton Jeanty and even practice squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam outpaced Meyers in receptions, receiving yards or both.

    Meyers brought in four of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Meyers wound up leading the Raiders in targets, but the end result was a season low in receiving yards. The veteran wideout's yardage total has decreased on a weekly basis, but he was able to buck a similar trend in targets with Sunday's seven looks from Geno Smith. Meyers should continue providing a solid fantasy floor as the Raiders prepare to face the Colts next Sunday.

    Meyers caught three of four targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: After seeing double-digit targets in each of the first two games of 2025, Meyers saw his volume crater in Week 3 as Tre Tucker instead got more of Geno Smith's attention. Meyers has still topped 60 receiving yards in three straight contests en route to a 17-228-0 line on 26 targets, and there could be plenty of volume to go around in Week 4 against a Bears defense that has been one of the worst units in the NFL to begin the year.

    Meyers finished with six receptions (on 12 targets) for 68 yards in Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Meyers paced Las Vegas in targets, receptions and receiving yards, despite finishing with a poor catch rate (50 percent). The 28-year-old has garnered double-digit targets in both appearances with new QB Geno Smith this season, cementing the wideout's spot atop the Raiders' depth chart. Meyers' predictable volume makes him a reliable starting option heading into Sunday's tilt against the Commanders, offering a notable boost in value for those in PPR formats.

The veteran wideout displayed an encouraging rapport with new quarterback Geno Smith, and Meyers' final line was a signature one for a receiver that's made his living in the league excelling in the short- and medium-range passing windows.

  • Beneficiary of Cooper's retirement?

    Meyers, who is still seeking a contract extension with the Raiders, appears further entrenched as the team's No. 1 receiver following the announcement of Amari Cooper's retirement Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Meyers expressed uncertainty about the odds of he and Las Vegas reaching agreement on a long-term extension after Wednesday's practice, but the retirement of Cooper -- who inked with the Raiders last week -- could benefit him both in terms of projected target share and contract leverage. Though Las Vegas can lean on star TE Brock Bowers in the passing game, the team now has little in the way of proven contributors at wideout behind Meyers.

    Meyers said Wednesday that he's unsure whether he and the Raiders will be able to reach agreement on a contract extension, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Meyers requested a trade from Las Vegas in late August due to dissatisfaction with his current contract situation, and he cited loyalty to his teammates Wednesday as the cause of his not holding out. Currently, Meyers is heading into the final year of his contract with the team and will be due $10.76 million for the 2025 season.

    Meyers failed to bring in his only target in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Meyers played on the Raiders' opening drive with Geno Smith and other starters but came up empty on his one opportunity. Despite a quiet preseason that saw him bring in only one of three targets for four yards, Meyers will begin the regular season against his old Patriots squad on Sunday, Sept. 7 as Las Vegas' No. 1 wide receiver, although tight end Brock Bowers could well prove to be Smith's top target over the course of the campaign.

While the veteran wideout is lined up for a WR1 role with the Raiders, he's not expected to be the team's top option in the passing game -- that distinction will likely go to second-year tight end Brock Bowers.

    Analysis: New Raiders quarterback Geno Smith played only one drive while some other starters played into the team's second possession. Meyers and Smith will have to wait to register their first connection in an NFL game, but the veteran wide receiver is poised to remain a key component of Vegas' offense come the regular season. Meyers has little to prove in the preseason, but he and the rest of the starters may get more playing time in the team's second preseason game against the 49ers on Aug. 16.

    As the Raiders' first training camp practice approaches, Meyers remains locked in as a starter in the team's wide receiver corps, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

After recording an 87-1,027-4 receiving line on a career high 129 targets over 15 regular-season games in 2024, the sure-handed pass catcher seems poised to maintain steady volume in an offense that is now helmed by veteran QB Geno Smith, who should represent an upgrade over Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.

    Meyers recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Meyers was the only thing working in the Raiders' offense for the majority of the game, as he connected with Aidan O'Connell for four receptions of at least 20 yards -- the longest of which went for a 25-yard score. That was enough to bring him over 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time in his career. Meyers will enter 2025 in the final year of his three-year contract with the Raiders, and he should remain a key part of the offense.

Meyers is up to 78 receptions on the season, leaving him five shy of tying his career high, and his 904 yards is already a new personal best.

    Analysis: Aidan O'Connell's return was generally positive for the Raiders' offense, but that wasn't the case for Meyers. He saw his fewest targets since Week 2 and tallied his lowest reception total of the campaign. The lone positive from the performance was that Meyers delivered explosive gains of 24 and 17 yards on his two catches. He should get more involved once again in Week 17 against the Saints.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Co-leader in receptions Sunday

    Meyers secured seven of 10 targets for 67 yards in the Raiders' 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: 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…read more

    Meyers (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Likely to suit up Sunday

    Meyers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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 head coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Meyers (ankle) will practice in full and is "ready to go" for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meyers and starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (illness) both sat out Thursday's practice and have returned as full participants Friday. O'Connell is coming off his best game of the season, having thrown for 340 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions during Las Vegas' narrow 19-17 loss to the Chiefs in Week 13, and having his top wideout available leaves room for optimism that the Raiders' passing offense could continue building momentum.

    Meyers didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Meyers secured six of 11 targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    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.

    Analysis: 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' 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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

    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 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. While Meyers failed to complete a pass against the Chiefs, his receiving touchdown on the Raiders' opening drive was the wideout's…read more

  • 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.

  • Down game on SNF

    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. Meyers' recent slump roughly coincides with starter Jimmy Garoppolo getting hurt and eventually demoted to backup, as the two showed great chemistry earlier in the year after joining forces…read more

  • Scores first rushing TD of career

    Meyers caught two of five targets for 38 yards while scoring a 17-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: It was the first rushing touchdown of Meyers' career and also his longest carry on nine career attempts. The versatile wideout has now thrown, ran and caught a touchdown over the course of his five years in the league. The 27-year-old's six combined scores through eight games with Las Vegas already matches the high he set last season with New England when he had six scores over 14 games. The next stop for Meyers' breakout fantasy campaign will come in a home matchup against the Jets on Sunday…read more

  • Held back by QB's poor play

    Meyers caught his only target for 19 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Meyers' lone target didn't come until the fourth quarter, as Jimmy Garoppolo threw for just 62 yards through the first three quarters and finished with 126 passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The wide receiver also made a heads-up play later in the fourth to momentarily keep the Raiders' faint hopes alive, jumping on top of a Josh Jacobs fumble and advancing it one yard. Meyers had at least four catches in four of his previous six appearances this season, so he'll…read more

  • 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.

  • Catches lone receiving TD

    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. The free-agent duo had joined forces in Las Vegas to make Meyers an early fantasy star this year, so Garoppolo's status could be key for the wideout heading into next…read more

    Analysis: The Raiders didn't practice Wednesday after playing Monday, but Meyers would have been limited had the team held a formal session. Fellow wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant, but at this stage, there's little reason to believe that either of Las Vegas' starting wideouts is in danger of sitting out Sunday against Meyers' former team, the Patriots.

Meyers finished as the Raiders' leading receiver with fellow starter Davante Adams (shoulder) playing at less than 100 percent Monday.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

Look for added context with regard to Meyers' Week 15 status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, but if he's available, the 26-year-old would presumably be in line to reclaim a key role in a Patriots wideout corps that also includes Nelson Agholor, Kendrick…read more

    Meyers (concussion) was present for the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Meyers was limited Wednesday before failing to practice Thursday, and the extent of his participation Friday has yet to be clarified. New England's No. 1 wide receiver will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up Sunday in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Initially, Meyers was listed as limited for a second day in a row on New England's Week 15 injury report. However, the team updated Thursday's version later, making him a non-participant for the fourth time on five reports since being diagnosed with a concussion Week 13 against the Bills. Considering the mid-week downgrade, Meyers seemingly doesn't have a great chance to suit up Sunday at Las Vegas, with Friday's report revealing whether he enters the weekend with a designation or ruled out for…read more

  • Stays limited at practice

    Meyers (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: While Meyers was deemed a limited participant both Wednesday and Thursday, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has yet to practice this week. Considering that, Meyers seems more likely to play this weekend against the Raiders than Parker, but chances are he'll approach Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET contest with a Week 15 injury designation.

    Analysis: Meyers wasn't spotted on the field during the media-access portion of practice, but he apparently got some work in after all. With that in mind, Meyers may have a chance at putting an end to a one-game absence this weekend against the Raiders. In order for that to come to fruition, however, Meyers will likely need to put in a full practice by Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist.

Meyers was held out of this past Monday's win over the Cardinals while in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, while Parker exited the Week 14 contest after sustaining the head injury.

    Analysis: Meyers was held to just 16 offensive snaps during New England's Thanksgiving Day loss to Minnesota due to a shoulder injury, though he still caught three of four targets for 62 yards. 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.

    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.

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 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.

    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.

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.

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.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 1

    Meyers (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Meyers, who was a limited practice participant this week, is one of five players listed as questionable by the Patriots for this weekend's season opener. Fortunately for those considering the wideout in Week 1 fantasy lineups, New England kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. As long as he's available versus Miami, Meyers is in line to maintain a key pass-catching role in the team's offense alongside fellow wideouts DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

    Meyers (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After having logged two straight limited practice sessions, Meyers will need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to approach Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins minus an injury designation. If he's available this weekend, Meyers is in line to maintain a key pass-catching role in New England's offense alongside fellow wideouts DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

    Meyers was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meyers exited the Patriots' preseason finale early with the knee issue, but the fact that he was able to practice Wednesday is a positive indicator with regard to his Week 1 status. Assuming he's available this Sunday in Miami, Meyers is poised to maintain a key role in a Patriots wide receiver corps that also includes newcomer DeVante Parker and returnees Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

    Analysis: The report notes that Meyers, who exited Friday's preseason finale early, was sporting a sleeve on his left leg and appeared to be limited in his participation Monday. While it's possible that Meyers' name appears on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report, the wideout's presence on the field suggests that his regular-season availability is in no danger.

    Meyers brought in his lone target for five yards in the Patriots' 23-6 preseason loss to the Raiders on Friday night.

    Analysis: Meyers' only target came on the Patriots' second drive, and Zack Cox of NESN reports the receiver spent some time in the blue medical tent midway through the first half with an issue that was never identified.

    Meyers caught one of three targets for four yards in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: He hauled in his lone catch on the Patriots' third possession of the game, hooking up with Mac Jones to help kick-start an 81-yard touchdown drive. Meyers is coming off a strong 2021 campaign and has already established a rapport with the team's second-year QB; however, he heads into Week 1 behind trade acquisition DeVante Parker on the depth chart in what is expected to be a run-oriented offense, so Meyers could have trouble seeing the same kind of target volume he did last year.

  • Signs second-round tender

    Meyers (undisclosed) officially signed his second-round tender from the Patriots on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    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. After signing the tender, Meyers is set to make $3.986 million next season, but the two sides are expected to resume extension talks following the conclusion of minicamp.

He'll have more competition for targets this year after the Patriots traded for WR DeVante Parker, but the impact of any lost volume could be offset by improved efficiency, especially if QB Mac Jones takes a big step forward in his second NFL season.

    Analysis: Meyers was one of a handful of offensive weapons who were limited, but the severity of their injuries remains unknown. The undrafted wideout out of NC State led New England with 83 receptions, 126 targets and 866 yards last season, so the Patriots will likely be extremely cautious with Mac Jones' favorite target.

    Analysis: Meyers led New England's pass catchers in receptions (83), targets (126) and receiving yards (866) to go along with two touchdowns last season, so it's not a major surprise to see the team using the second-round tender. The Patriots will be able to match any offer sheet issued by another team, or they can decline to match and receive a second-round pick.

    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. If that happens, Meyers will remain a key cog in a WR corps that also will feature Kendrick Bourne (signed through 2023) and Nelson Agholor (signed through 2022).

    Meyers recorded six receptions on nine targets for 40 yards in Saturday's 47-17 wild-card round loss to Buffalo.

The majority of Meyers' work came with the game well out of reach, though he did tally a 19-yard reception to set up a field goal for New England just before halftime. He was otherwise limited to short gains.

    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.

To be sure, his status should be verified ahead of Saturday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wideout was on the field for 52 of a possible 62 snaps on offense in Week 18 en route to catching four of his eight targets for 70 yards in a loss to the Dolphins.

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.

    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 (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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Starter Nelson Agholor struggled having to deal with shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore, which explains the uptick in usage for his fellow wideouts.

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.

  • Connects with Cam in win

    Meyers brought in all three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Half of Meyers' yardage came on a 28-yard first-quarter touchdown grab in conjunction with Cam Newton. Meyers has been impressing throughout camp, and the NC State product appears set for another prominent role in the air attack again this season despite the offseason additions of Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.

  • 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.

    Analysis: While much of the offseason attention was focused on free-agent additions Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, Meyers remains in the mix to carve out a key role in the Patriots' receiving corps in 2021. Also making a case on that front is 2019 first-rounder N'Keal Harry, but Meyers -- who led the team with 59 catches for 729 yards in 14 games last season -- is a player who could provide a degree of fantasy utility this coming season if the team's passing game picks up as hoped, either due to…read more

  • Likely top wideout in minicamp

    Meyers appears to be the likely top wide receiver option at minicamp this week, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Callahan notes that both Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne are still learning the playbook, which positions Meyers as the top wideout for the time being. Meyers could continue to hold that role depending on how things go throughout camp, but he figures to face competition once everyone has the system down.

  • In line to compete with Bourne

    Meyers figures to compete with newcomer Kendrick Bourne for a starting slot this coming season, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's assumed that free agent acquisition Nelson Agholor will hold down one starting assignment, but following the retirement of Julian Edelman, the rest of the Patriots' depth chart remains unsettled. Though it's clear that the team sees something in Bourne, Meyers did display solid chemistry with QB Cam Newton last season while leading the team with 59 catches for 729 yards in 14 games. Meanwhile, 2018 first-rounder N'Keal Harry is also in the mix, but his role this coming season is undefined.…read more

  • Team's leading receiver in Year 2

    Meyers caught six of seven targets for 68 yards and threw a 19-yard touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for seven yards in the season finale.

    Analysis: Meyers spent his freshman season at NC State as a quarterback before converting to wide receiver, and he showed off his passing skills on a trick play in the third quarter, finding Cam Newton for the game-tying touchdown. He finishes the season as New England's leader in both catches (59) and receiving yards (729), but Meyers is yet to catch a touchdown through two NFL seasons. The Patriots will likely look to upgrade their underwhelming receiving corps in the offseason, but Meyers should be a…read more

  • Makes four grabs

    Meyers caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Meyers led the Pats in receiving on a night when the team made an in-game quarterback change from Cam Newton to Jarrett Stidham, with neither QB proving to be effective. Given that dire situation, it's tough to rely on Meyers for production, but his status atop New England's depth chart as well as a favorable matchup against the Jets at least offers some promise ahead of Week 17.

  • Eclipses century mark

    Meyers reeled in seven of 10 targets for 111 yards and lost one fumble during Sunday's 22-12 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Meyers' third-quarter giveaway didn't come back to haunt New England, as the Dolphins were forced into a punt just three plays later. With that in mind, the 24-year-old's Week 15 outing will go down as one of his most impressive of the 2020 campaign, as he eclipsed the century mark in receiving for the second time this season. A Week 16 matchup against Buffalo could allow Meyers to expand on a noteworthy Week 8 performance in a loss to the division rivals in which he notched six catches for 58…read more

  • Serviceable night in loss

    Meyers brought in four of five targets for 47 yards in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout managed to put together a serviceable night relative to opportunity, recording multiple receptions for the eighth straight contest. Meyers hasn't come close to matching the career-best 12 receptions and 169 yards he generated versus the Jets in Week 9, but he's posted a 19-211 line on 27 targets in the subsequent five contests, acceptable numbers considering how erratic Cam Newton's play has been under center. With Jarrett Stidham replacing Newton late in Thursday…read more

  • Does little with six targets

    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.

  • Leading receiver in Week 12 win

    Meyers caught five of six targets for a team-high 52 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Meyers accounted for more than half of quarterback Cam Newton's 84 passing yards as the Patriots relied on the defense and a pair of James White rushing touchdowns to carry them to victory. While Meyers is still in search of his first career touchdown, he has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in five of his last six games heading into a Week 13 date with the Chargers.

  • Down day despite Newton's success

    Meyers caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Cam Newton threw for 365 yards but didn't pay much attention to his favorite target from recent weeks. 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.

  • Clearly Newton's top option

    Meyers caught five of seven targets for 59 yards while also throwing a 24-yard touchdown on his lone passing attempt in Sunday's 23-17 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Meyers scored his first NFL touchdown in the 22nd game of his professional career, but it did not come the way most would have expected. The former high-school quarterback received a backwards pass from Cam Newton before planting his feet and throwing a Russell Wilson-esque rainbow that fell into Rex Burkhead's bread basket in the end zone. The trick play was a treat to witness, but the important news for fantasy owners was that Meyers paced all Patriot receivers in targets, catches and…read more

  • Career-best performance in win

    Meyers caught 12 of 14 targets for 169 yards in Monday night's 30-27 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: He put together by far the best showing of his young career, accounting for the majority of Cam Newton's 274 passing yards. Meyers was targeted on 40 percent of Newton's 35 attempts, and caught nearly everything thrown his way. Although his longest reception went for 33 yards, Meyers' most important play came on a 20-yard reception that put New England in range for the game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. Following such a great performance, Meyers' stock is undoubtedly on the…read more

  • Leading receiver in Week 8 loss

    Meyers caught six of 10 targets for 58 yards and added a two-point conversion in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Meyers has emerged as the favorite target for struggling quarterback Cam Newton with Julian Edelman (knee) and N'Keal Harry (concussion) both unavailable, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. None of Meyers' gains went for more than 16 yards, but he caught a key two-point conversion to tie the score in the third quarter. Meyers should continue to play a prominent role on his 24th birthday against the porous Jets secondary in Week 9.

  • Extended snaps await Week 8

    Meyers is expected to pick up extra snaps Sunday against the Bills with Julian Edelman (knee) set to miss the contest, Dave Green of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots' No. 4 receiver heading into last week's game against the 49ers, Meyers was thrust into a larger role after starter N'Keal Harry left the contest early with a concussion. Meyers proceeded to play 79 percent of the offensive snaps in the 33-6 loss, finishing the day with four receptions for 60 yards on six targets. With Edelman being ruled out, Meyers should hold down a regular spot in three-wide sets for the second straight game, and the North Carolina State product could have an…read more

  • Leads team in receiving yards

    Meyers caught four of six targets for 60 yards and carried one time for two yards during Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Meyers hadn't seen action in over a month coming in, but he found a way to lead the team in all major receiving categories despite Cam Newton finishing with under 100 passing yards on the day. Newton was ultimately benched in favor of Jarrett Stidham after his third turnover, and Meyers managed to snare a pass from him as well. Given the team's struggles under center and Meyers' inactivity for much of the season, he won't take a great deal of fantasy appeal into next Sunday's meeting with the…read more

    Meyers was on the field for seven of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-11 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

  • Catches 26 passes as a rookie

    Meyers finished the 2019 regular season with 26 catches (on 41 targets) for 359 yards in 15 games.

    Analysis: Meyers stuck around after making the team as an undrafted rookie and even managed to log a few PPR-worthy efforts in the process. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder probably did enough to make the team again in 2020, but it's possible he'll have to fight to keep his slot in New England's wide receiver corps, depending on the team's offseason moves.

  • Hauls in three passes Sunday

    Meyers was on the field for 14 of a possible 73 snaps on offense in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills, en route to catching all three of his targets for 25 yards.

    Analysis: Mohamed Sanu (70), Julian Edelman (52) and N'Keal Harry (37) all saw more snaps than Meyers in Week 16, and in such a context Meyers will be a speculative fantasy option in both Week 17 and the NFL postseason.

  • Relegated to special teams

    Meyers was not targeted during Sunday's 34-13 win over Cincinnati and logged just seven offensive snaps during the contest.

    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.

    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.

  • 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

    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..
