Jakobi Meyers Says He'll Play Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) said he will play on Thursday night in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Meyers injured his shoulder early in last Thursday night's loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving, but he eventually returned and finished with three catches on four targets for 62 yards. Having Meyers available and healthy on Thursday against a tough Bills defense will be huge for the Patriots offense. Meyers has been the most consistent fantasy wideout in New England and should be quarterback Mac Jones' preferred target this week. In nine games this year, Meyers has hauled in 47 of his 62 targets for 571 yards and three touchdowns for his fantasy managers.

Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker Limited Monday

New England Patriots wide receivers Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) and DeVante Parker (knee) were both listed as limited practice participants on Monday. Meyers suffered a shoulder injury in last Thursday night's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and ended up playing just 16 offensive snaps, but the injury isn't considered serious and he should have a bigger role this Thursday against the Buffalo Bills, barring a setback this week. The 26-year-old has been the most reliable fantasy wideout in New England in 2022, and he still had three catches for 62 yards on Thanksgiving despite his injury. Parker led New England with four catches and 80 yards against Minnesota and he should be fine to play again this week.

Jakobi Meyers' Shoulder Injury Isn't Serious

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) said his right shoulder was "sore" after the Thursday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving, but he also said "I'll be alright." He was injured on the first offensive play of the game, but he returned in the second half after undergoing X-rays in the locker room. When Meyers returned, he was on a limited snap count and finished the contest with three catches for 63 yards. It appeared that he aggravated his shoulder in the second half, but Meyers is confident he'll be fine moving forward. Fantasy managers should be happy that Meyers even returned to this contest to give them any production at all, but it sounds as though he should be fine to play next Thursday against the Buffalo Bills, barring any setbacks.

Jakobi Meyers Briefly Exits, Racks Up 62 Yards In Thanksgiving Loss

The 26-year-old has recorded at least 50 receiving yards in three of the team's last four games. He has 47 catches for 571 yards and three touchdowns over nine games in 2022. Meyers remains a solid option in PPR formats against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13.

Jakobi Meyers Returns On Thursday Night

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) has returned to Thursday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings. He had been listed as questionable after injuring himself on the opening drive. While DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne filled in admirably during Meyers' absence, New England certainly benefits from having its No. 1 receiver back on the field as they look to pull ahead in the second half.

Jakobi Meyers Questionable To Return Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is questionable to return against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12.

The 26-year-old continues to be one of New England's consistent wide receivers and has 40 catches for 457 yards and three touchdowns over seven games in 2022. He draws a tough matchup against a Jets defense that ranks fifth in DVOA against opposing WR2s.

Jakobi Meyers A Solid Option Against Colts

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has become the team's top target in 2022. He had 35 catches for 415 yards and three touchdowns over six games. The 25-year-old has a terrific matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The Colts rank 29th in DVOA against the opposing team's WR1s.

Jakobi Meyers A Strong Option In PPR Formats Against The Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen consistent volume and has become an excellent option in PPR league formats. He has caught 26 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns over five games in 2022. The 25-year-old has a middle-of-the-road option against the New York Jets, who rank 14th in DVOA against opposing WR2s. The Patriots continue to spread the ball around as Tyquan Thornton, and DeVante Parker saw more targets than Meyers in last Monday's loss against the Bears. Despite the lack of targets in Week 7, Meyers should see plenty of volume against the Jets and is a low-end WR2 in Week 8.

The 25-year-old did not do much after that and was out-targeted by DeVante Parker (five) and Tyquan Thornton (five). He has 25 catches for 355 yards and two touchdowns over five games in 2022. Meyers is a solid WR3 option against the New York Jets in Week 8.

The 25-year-old has now had back-to-back solid performances despite dealing with a knee issue. He has 24 catches for 321 yards and a touchdown over four games in 2022. Meyers is a strong option in PPR formats and will look to keep things rolling against the Chicago Bears on Monday night.

Jakobi Meyers, Jonnu Smith Active For Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) and tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) are both active for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. They had been listed as questionable. Meyers has been a bright spot for the Patriots' offense this season, averaging 6.7 catches and 87 yards per game. Even with Bailey Zappe at quarterback, Meyers has asserted himself as a strong fantasy option and should be viewed as a mid-to-low WR2 this week. Meanwhile, Smith has amassed just seven catches for 58 yards through four contests. He should be left on waivers since none of the Patriots' quarterbacks have shown much interest in throwing to the tight ends.

Jakobi Meyers Likely To Suit Up Against Cleveland

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to suit up against the Browns on Sunday. Meyers was limited at practice throughout the week due to a knee injury and was riding a questionable tag heading into this one. However, he will likely be on the field and look to build off a solid Week 5 performance versus Detroit, where he finished with seven catches for 111 yards and a touchdown. Nelson Agholor (hamstring) has already been ruled out, and with Mac Jones (ankle) and Damien Harris (hamstring) both uncertain to play, Meyers may continue to draw the attention of Bailey Zappe.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He was a limited participant in practice this week.

He caught seven passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday an hour and a half before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff to ensure Meyers is active for Week 6.

Jakobi Meyers Limited On Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was limited during Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back days that Meyers has been able to get in a limited practice session. He posted seven receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown last week, so hopefully he can build off that performance in Week 6. Meyers appears to be the unquestioned No. 1 target for quarterback Bailey Zappe. He'll be a strong fantasy play, assuming he can actually suit up this week. Fantasy managers should consider Meyers questionable right now for Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns.

Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receivers Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Nelson Agholor (hamstring) were both limited in Wednesday's practice. Meyers missed Weeks 3 and 4 before returning in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions to post a strong seven receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, the 25-year-old should be rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe's top target in the passing game in his second career start in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Agholor played only seven snaps before leaving the game last weekend, but the fact that he was limited to begin the week is a good sign. Aside from a six-catch, 110-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 2, Agholor has done very little and isn't recommended as a flex play if he's active.

Jakobi Meyers Scores, Paces Pats In Receiving

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) caught seven of eight targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Detroit Lions. He returned to action in Week 5 after missing the last two weeks due to a knee issue. The 25-year-old led the Patriots in receptions, receiving yards, and targets in Sunday's win. Bailey Zappe connected with Meyers for a 24-yard touchdown strike. Meyers is New England's top receiver and should have a heavy dose of targets in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns.

Jakobi Meyers Will Play Against Lions

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is officially active in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. Meyers will make his return after missing the last two contests, but he'll be taking passes from rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe in his first career start with Mac Jones (ankle) missing his second straight game and veteran backup Brian Hoyer (concussion) on Injured Reserve. Meyers' return is bad news for DeVante Parker, who has had his best two games with Meyers on the sidelines the last two weeks. In his two games in 2022, Meyers has 13 receptions on 19 targets for 150 yards and no touchdowns. With Zappe starting under center, Meyers will be a shaky low-upside WR4/flex for fantasy managers.

Jakobi Meyers Expected To Play In Week 5

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to play in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, according to a league source. Meyers has missed the last two games with a knee injury, but he's expected to return on Sunday despite being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. The 25-year-old was able to put in limited practices all week, giving him a great shot to return for the first time since Week 2. His return will be bad news for DeVante Parker, who has become a waiver-wire pickup after a couple solid weeks with Meyers out of action. Meyers' fantasy managers should downgrade him if he's active, though, since rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe will be making his first career start this weekend with Mac Jones (ankle) out another game and with Brian Hoyer (concussion) on Injured Reserve.

Jakobi Meyers Limited On Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday. He had missed the last two games due to a knee issue. The 25-year-old was limited last week before being downgraded to out on Saturday for Week 4 versus the Green Packers. Meyers will look to log a full practice this week to increase his chances of suiting up for Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. He has caught 13 passes for 150 yards over two games in 2022. Meyers could be catching passes from third-string quarterback Bailey Zappe as Mac Jones (ankle) and Brian Hoyer (head) are dealing with injuries, making him flex play in deep-league formats if active.

Jakobi Meyers Ruled Out For Week 4

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was a limited participant in practice all week but will be sidelined for a second consecutive game when the team faces off against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. In Meyers' absence last week, it was DeVante Parker that stepped up, and he will likely operate as the team's WR1 once again in Week 4. With Mac Jones (ankle) also declared out, though, no Patriots' pass-catchers can be trusted in starting fantasy lineups with Brian Hoyer under center against a stingy Packers defense.

Jakobi Meyers Questionable To Face Packers

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. Meyers missed the Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens but put in limited practices all week, suggesting that he has a pretty good chance to suit up this Sunday. However, quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) has been ruled out, so if Meyers is active, he'll be taking passing from veteran backup Brian Hoyer. The 25-year-old went off for nine catches on 13 targets for 95 yards in Week 2 before his injury, but he'll have a limited ceiling and a scary floor if he plays against the Packers with Hoyer running New England's offense.

Jakobi Meyers Limited In Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Meyers was sidelined in Week 3 with a knee injury but seems to have a chance to return to action in a Week 4 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The fourth-year wideout was the favorite target of Mac Jones (ankle) through two games, with DeVante Parker shining in his absence last week. Meyers remains the wide receiver to stash for fantasy purposes, but with Brian Hoyer expected to start Sunday's contest as Jones deals with a high ankle sprain, the Patriots' receiving options will not be recommended as anything more than desperation flex plays.

Jakobi Meyers Officially Out In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) and safety Kyle Dugger (knee) have officially been ruled out for Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy managers need to make sure to remove Meyers from their lineups this weekend. It's a shame, too, after he caught nine of 13 targets for 95 yards in the Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nelson Agholor, DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne are in line to see a boost in targets this Sunday as a result of Meyers being inactive. Tight ends Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, although they've done very little through two games, could also be sneaky deep-league streamers at the position in Week 3 against a Baltimore defense that allowed over 40 points to the Dolphins last week.

Jakobi Meyers Not Expected To Play Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is not expected to play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. He had been listed as questionable.

Jakobi Meyers Misses Another Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back days that Meyers has been unable to practice due to a lingering knee issue. He underwent testing and the organization doesn't believe that the injury is significant. Meyers could have possible WR3 value in PPR formats, assuming he plays in Week 3. Otherwise, DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor would likely see increased targets coming their way.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) underwent tests on his knee Wednesday and was forced to miss practice. Fortunately, the test results showed that the injury is minor and Meyers is unlikely to miss significant time. His status for Week 3 is currently in question and will be determined as the week progresses. Meyers has been the favorite target of quarterback Mac Jones through two games this season and would be an interesting flex option this week against a Baltimore Ravens secondary that just got burnt by the Miami Dolphins. If Meyers is unable to suit up, Nelson Agholor and DeVante Parker would see an increased opportunity.

Jakobi Meyers Sees 13 Targets In Week 2 Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers hauled in nine of 13 targets and garnered 95 yards in the team's Week 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just as he was in Week 1, Meyers was the favorite target of Mac Jones but was much more productive this week. Meyers has never been an end zone threat, which caps his upside, but he is again proving to be a solid PPR fantasy option. He should be rostered and can be deployed as a high-floor WR3 or flex play going forward.

Watt and rank 25th in DVOA against the team's opposing WR2. Meyers is 45th in the latest Rotoballer Week 2 rankings among all wide receivers and is a solid flex option in PPR formats.

Jakobi Meyers Active For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is officially active for the Week 1 season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Meyers was limited in practice all week and was fully expected to suit up for this one. The 25-year-old was quarterback Mac Jones' favorite target in 2021, but the Patriots added former Dolphins wideout DeVante Parker in the offseason. New England's offense has been struggling all summer long without long-time offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels -- now the Las Vegas Raiders head coach -- so Meyers' fantasy stock is down entering this Week 1 matchup against an improved Dolphins defense. Meyers should be considered a low-ceiling WR4/flex in PPR leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (leg) is expected to play in Week 1 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Meyers was limited in practice all week and will now be active for the season opener in Miami. Although Meyers faces new competition in the form of DeVante Parker, there's no denying that the strong rapport he built with Mac Jones last season will transition to the 2022 campaign.

Jakobi Meyers Questionable For Week 1

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1 of the regular season against the Miami Dolphins. Meyers was able to practice on a limited basis all week and appears to be trending in the right direction to suit up this Sunday. Fantasy managers will have the benefit of knowing Meyers' status early on Sunday. The 25-year-old was one of quarterback Mac Jones' favorite targets in 2021, but the team added DeVante Parker and their offense could be in trouble without long-time offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels this year. Against a much-improved Dolphins defense, Meyers will merely be a low-upside WR4/flex for fantasy managers if he's active.
