BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 or Flex
ANALYSIS: The Las Vegas Raiders' top wide receiver, Jakobi Meyers, had a bye week in Week 10. Before the break, Meyers was a key part of the offense, grabbing eight passes for 105 yards on 11 targets in a Week 9 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He led the Raiders in both targets and receptions in that game.
Although he was dealing with an ankle injury before the bye, Meyers had the time to rest and fully practiced on Wednesday. A hamstring issue popped up on the injury report, but he is expected to play this week.

In Week 11, the 28-year-old faces the Miami Dolphins. With his role as the Raiders' No. 1 wide receiver, Meyers should be considered a WR3 or flex play in fantasy this week.
He sees a lot of volume in the offense, with 32 catches over his last five contests. Additionally, he has seen two games with double-digit targets this season.
Miami is not the easiest matchup for wide receivers, but Meyers should benefit if the Raiders must throw due to being behind. He is a better start in PPR leagues than in standard formats.
