Jakobi Meyers Faces Toughest Test Yet In Week 5
2 months agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will face his toughest challenge in Week 5 when he faces the Denver Broncos. Cornerback Patrick Surtain II is Denver's brightest superstar, and he typically shadows the opposing team's No. 1 receiver. That will be Meyers this week. Surtain has shadowed many great wide receivers and locked them down this season. D.K. Metcalf (29 yards), George Pickens (16 yards), Mike Evans (eight yards), and Garrett Wilson (22 yards) have all fallen victim to Surtain's shutdown ability. Life will be hard for Jakobi without lead WR Davante Adams (hamstring) drawing away coverage. The Broncos' defense as a whole is elite, and it wouldn't be surprising if the flailing Raiders offense can't get anything going. Meyers is on the flex radar in deep leagues despite the tough matchup.
