BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers led the team in receiving yards in the season opener with 61 yards. He caught all three of his targets.
His biggest play of the game came off a 33-yard catch, which was also the largest gain the Raiders had.
While Meyers did not see as many targets as No.1 wideout Davante Adams (6) and tight end Brock Bowers (8), it is promising to see Meyers still have a prominent role on the offense and flash big-play ability. The 27-year-old ran a route on 97.5% of his plays and logged 61.1% of the snaps in the slot.

Last season, Meyers caught 71 passes for 801 yards and eight scores.
Playing on a Raiders team that lacks proven running backs, Meyers should continue to see a solid amount of targets his way every week with the chance for a few spike games.
The NC State product is worth holding on your bench in all leagues and will be a solid fill-in WR3/flex option later in the season during bye weeks.
