Jakobi Meyers Featured Early Saturday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers corralled all three of his targets for 45 yards during Saturday night's 24-23 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Aidan O'Connell fired a strike to Meyers on a nice in-breaking route to pick up 24 yards on his second completion and then went right back to him the next play on a bubble screen to the opposite side of the field. Later in the drive, Meyers was the recipient of a critical third down pass -- effectively extending the drive. The fifth-year veteran was the clear focal point of the offense sans Davante Adams and could provide a nice bit of value this year as a sleeper at his current draft position (Yahoo!'s WR52). He and the rest of the Raiders starters will get more play next time out when Las Vegas takes on the Dallas Cowboys next Saturday in Week 2.
