BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Las Vegas Raiders were without Davante Adams this week as he was out with a hamstring injury. There's been a lot of speculation about Adams and his future with the team, and while the team has suggested that they won't trade him, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Adams take a bit to return to the lineup from this hamstring issue.
On Sunday, his absence led to Jakobi Meyers stepping into Vegas's No. 1 receiver job. Meyers was targeted 10 times, catching five passes for 49 yards, and has now been targeted 19 times over the past two games.
Jakobi Meyers had a quiet day (5 REC, 49 YDS), but he led the Raiders with a 41.6% target share.

As long as Adams remains out, Meyers will serve as the No. 1 receiver for Las Vegas. He should have a high fantasy floor because plenty of targets will be heading in his direction. Add him off the waiver wire.
