Jakobi Meyers Looking To Continue Production

Jakobi Meyers Looking To Continue Production

one year ago

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had yet another strong performance in the Week 6 win against the New England Patriots. Meyers finished the game with five catches on seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown against his former team. Meyers developed a rapport with Garoppolo but will be without his teammate in Week 7. Garoppolo left the game in the second half with a back injury and has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer will step into the starting role for the Raiders. It remains to be seen what this quarterback change will mean for Meyer's value since he had his worst game of the season when Garoppolo was ruled out with a concussion in Week 4. Meyers saw a season-low two catches on four targets for 33 yards when Raiders rookie Aidan O'Connell took over for Garoppolo. Meyers will face off against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. The Bears are one of the most favorable matchups for wide receivers, so Meyers will still likely have a good game. Fantasy managers should be excited to start Meyers as a high-end WR2 against the Bears in Week 7 but should temper expectations without Garoppolo throwing him passes.
