Receives second-round tender
The Patriots will utilize a second-round contract tender on Meyers as a restricted free agent Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

Leads team with 83 catches
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). Beyond that trio, it remains to be seen how the…read more

Racks up six receptions
Meyers recorded six receptions on nine targets for 40 yards in Saturday's 47-17 wild-card round loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Meyers led the team with nine targets, though he was out-produced by Kendrick Bourne. 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. Meyers will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent, though after commanding 126 targets and tallying 83 receptions in 2021, it's likely that the Patriots will look to retain him for 2022 and…read more

Playing in wild-card round
Meyers (thigh) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Bills.
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.

Questionable for playoff opener
Meyers (thigh) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's playoff game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion once again Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers is one of 13 players listed as questionable for the contest by the Patriots, but we'd be surprised if he wasn't available for the team's playoff opener. 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. With no reported setbacks, we suspect that his listed practice limitations…read more

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.

Active for Sunday's game
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.

Listed as questionable
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. Through 15 games to date, Meyers has made a mark in PPR formats by logging a 71-723-1 receiving line on 110 targets.

Stays limited in practice
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.

Catches four passes Thursday
Meyers logged 56 of a possible 64 snaps in Thursday's 25-0 win over the Falcons, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
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. While he's only scored one TD (in Week 10) all season, Meyers' steady workload makes him worthy of lineup consideration in PPR formats.

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.

Does little with big volume
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.

Catches five passes versus Jets
Meyers hauled in five of his seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers, who logged a team-high 59 snaps on offense (out of a possible 76) among the team's wideouts, duplicated his Week 6 stat line Sunday, on one less target. 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. Through seven games, the 24-year-old leads the Patriots in catches (41), targets (59) and receiving yards (390). In Week 8, he'll be facing a Chargers defense that has allowed an…read more

Catches five passes Sunday
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.

Amasses 14 targets in loss
Meyers hauled in nine receptions (14 targets) for 94 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints.
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. While bigger receiving days like this shouldn't be expected on a weekly basis from Meyers, he could be in a line for a small bump in targets if James White (hip) is forced to miss time.…read more

Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Meyers was on the field for 52 of a possible 58 snaps on offense in the contest, while Nelson Agholor logged 50 snaps, and Kendrick Bourne was out there for 31 plays. Look for Meyers' playing time to remain steady going forward, and though he operates in an offense that spreads the ball around, as the Patriots' early leader in targets (15) through two games, Meyers (who has 10 catches in that span) does possess some utility in PPR formats.

Makes one grab
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.

Analysis: Half of Meyers' yardage came on a 28-yard first-quarter touchdown grab in conjunction with Cam Newton.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Sees just seven snaps Week 1
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.
Analysis: Meyers, who was not targeted Week 1, has limited fantasy value so long as he remains behind Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry and Damiere Byrd in New England's wide receiver pecking order.

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.

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..
