BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: low-end WR4
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers appeared to be Jimmy Garoppolo's favorite target in the passing game. In four full games with Garoppolo under center, Meyers never finished worse than the WR25 in fantasy and never finished under 15.5 PPR fantasy points. But with rookie Aidan O'Connell under center, things have been quite different for the 27-year-old wideout.
In five starts with O'Connell, Meyers is averaging just 3.2 catches and 44 yards per game. He has 16 catches for 220 yards and one receiving touchdown in those contests. However, the four-year vet is coming off a strong performance in Week 12, where he caught six passes for 79 yards and one touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Still, it's hard to entirely trust Meyers this week. The Vikings do give up the 12th most fantasy points per game to wideouts this season, so there is an encouraging sign for him this weekend. But playing on a Raiders offense that is averaging just 223.8 passing yards with O'Connell as quarterback makes him a low-end flex option in Week 14 in 12-team leagues.
