BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 55% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has missed the past two games because of an ankle injury. However, the veteran is the Raiders’ No. 1 wide receiver once healthy after the team traded away Davante Adams last week.
While he’s still nursing an ankle injury, Jakobi Meyers will be the #Raiders WR1 when he steps back on the field.

Meyers is the WR51 for the year, averaging 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, he was playing well before getting hurt. The veteran wide receiver averaged six receptions on 9.3 targets for 61 receiving yards and 11.8 fantasy points per game over his last three healthy contests, totaling 10.2 or more fantasy points twice.
Unfortunately, Meyers might miss another week because of the ankle injury. However, the veteran faces an elite Kansas City Chiefs defense this week, making him a borderline start option if he plays. Yet, Meyers is a must-add in all 10-team and deeper leagues. He should see the volume needed to have top-24 appeal once healthy.
