Jakobi Meyers Active On Sunday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is officially active on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in the Week 18 regular season finale. Meyers entered the game with a questionable tag after he was limited in practice all week, but he'll be available and should be quarterback Mac Jones' top target in this must-win game for New England. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that DeVante Parker is returning from a concussion and could take valuable targets away in the passing game. Meyers leads the team with 64 receptions, 772 yards and five touchdowns on 89 targets over 13 games played this year. Fantasy managers should treat him as a WR3/flex if you're still playing for a fantasy title this weekend. In the first meeting against Buffalo in Week 13, Meyers had just three catches for 22 yards on five targets.
Jan 8, 2023 • 4:48 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Uncertain For Season Finale
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is officially questionable for the Week 18 meeting with Buffalo. The 26-year-old has had intermittent stints on the injury report for the same ailment throughout the season. However, he's played through it, so he'll likely be available for the pivotal must-win matchup versus the Bills. Meyers has been on a roll, catching a touchdown in each of his last two appearances. He's the team's top wideout, giving him a good chance to produce for fantasy managers, even with a challenging game on tap.
Jan 7, 2023 • 2:42 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Exits Week 17 Early With Shoulder Injury
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) exited Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins early with a shoulder injury. He injured his shoulder during a touchdown catch in the fourth quarter and did not return. The 26-year-old caught six of his nine targets for 48 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Meyers will undergo further evaluation after the game and is considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his practice status throughout the week. Meyers has been New England's top wide receiver, and his absence would be a slight blow to the Patriots' offense against the Bills for the regular season finale. Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne, and Nelson Agholor would see an uptick in targets if Meyers cannot play in Week 18.
Jan 1, 2023 • 9:49 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Will Play On Saturday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) will play against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old had dealt with a shoulder injury throughout the week, limiting him at practice. However, he has the green light. Meyers is the team's top wideout, so Mac Jones may look in his direction more often than usual, especially with DeVante Parker (concussion) sitting this one out.
Dec 24, 2022 • 5:22 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Likely To Play Against The Bengals
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is expected to play versus Cincinnati, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 26-year-old practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week because of a shoulder injury, but it appears it won't keep him off the field on Christmas Eve. With Davante Parker (concussion) ruled out, Meyers should receive plenty of attention from Mac Jones, especially since he's the team's top receiving option. Yet, that still doesn't mean the wideout will produce against an effective Bengals defense. However, Meyers at least deserves WR3/flex consideration in Week 16.
Dec 24, 2022 • 8:41 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton Questionable
New England Patriots wide receivers Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) and Tyquan Thornton (knee) are both listed as questionable for the Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Meyers and Thornton were able to practice on a limited basis this week, so they have a good shot at playing on Christmas Eve. DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for a second straight game, so Meyers, already the team's leading receiver, should be quarterback Mac Jones' top target in this struggling New England offense. Based on volume alone, Meyers should serve as a decent WR3/flex without a ton of upside against Cincinnati. Thornton, meanwhile, should continue working behind Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne in his rookie season.
Dec 23, 2022 • 1:41 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton Limited Wednesday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) and Tyquan Thornton (knee) were both listed as limited at Wednesday's practice. Meyers was also limited on Tuesday, with Thornton popping up on the injury report for the first time this week. Meyers missed Week 14 with a concussion but cleared the protocol and was active last Sunday. He caught just two of six targets for 47 yards and was responsible for an ill-advised lateral at the end of regulation that directly led to New England's loss. Meyers is the team's leading receiver and should be active on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he should be considered a WR4/flex in fantasy in the Patriots' low-scoring offense. Thornton, a rookie, has only 17 receptions for 166 yards and one touchdown in 10 games this year and should remain on the waiver wire in single-year leagues.
Dec 22, 2022 • 2:07 AM | RotoBallerRhamondre Stevenson, Jakobi Meyers Active For Week 15
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) are officially active for Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Both players had been listed as questionable. Stevenson has emerged as New England's clear lead back and even carved out a massive role in the passing game. So far, he has 742 rushing yards, 58 receptions, 385 receiving yards, and five touchdowns, positioning him as the RB9 in PPR leagues. He should be started in all leagues this week, especially with Damien Harris (thigh) sidelined. Meanwhile, Meyers, whose role has declined in the second half of the season, is returning from a one-week absence. He has 15 catches, 178 yards, zero touchdowns, and one fumble over his last four games. Thus, he should be viewed as nothing more than a low-end WR3 this week.
Dec 18, 2022 • 7:36 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Expected To Play In Week 15
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is expected to suit up in Week 15 to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Meyers missed the Monday night win over the Arizona Cardinals to close out Week 14 and was listed as questionable for Sunday's game on Friday's final injury report. On the flip side, DeVante Parker (concussion) was ruled out for this weekend after suffering a concussion of his own on Monday. The 26-year-old Meyers is New England's leading receiver and should be quarterback Mac Jones' top target against the Raiders, assuming his snap count isn't limited in his return. Even though Meyers is expected back, wideouts Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne should see more looks behind Meyers.
Dec 17, 2022 • 5:10 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Questionable To Face The Raiders
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was officially listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Meyers missed last week and the first two practice days this week, but he was able to return to a limited session on Friday, giving him a chance to clear the league's concussion protocol and play on Sunday. With DeVante Parker (concussion) already ruled out, quarterback Mac Jones would love to get the team's leading receiver back on game day. If Meyers misses his second straight game, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne will be much more involved, as well as rookie Tyquan Thornton. The 26-year-old Meyers has 50 receptions on 67 targets for 593 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in 10 games played this year.
Dec 17, 2022 • 12:35 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Downgraded To DNP Thursday
Updating a previous post, New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. It was previously reported that he was a limited participant. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, so this is a mid-week downgrade, which usually isn't a good sign. The 26-year-old sat out of the Monday night win over the Arizona Cardinals and still needs clearance from the concussion protocol in order to play in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders. DeVante Parker (concussion) has yet to practice this week, so New England's top two receivers could be out this weekend. If that's the case, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and rookie Tyquan Thornton would be asked to step up. Tight end Hunter Henry would also benefit from more targets.
Dec 16, 2022 • 12:42 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Limited Again On Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was limited once again during Thursday's practice. The 26-year-old is reportedly doing better, but wasn't on the field during the portion of practice that is open to reporters. At this point, it's uncertain if he'll be available for the Week 15 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He still needs to clear concussion protocol, but still has Friday to do so. Fantasy managers should check back after Friday's practice for another update on Meyers.
Dec 15, 2022 • 11:33 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Officially Limited On Wednesday
Updating a previous post, New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was officially listed as limited for the team's practice session on Wednesday. Meyers did not take the field for the portion of practice open to the media but did manage to get some reps in. This is an encouraging sign for the fourth-year wideout, who was sidelined in Week 14 with a concussion. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress throughout the week to see if he's able to clear the league's protocol in time for a Week 15 bout with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Dec 14, 2022 • 11:21 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Ruled Out For Week 14
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 14 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to play this week. That being said, the Pats will be forced to play without Meyers on Monday Night. The combo of DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, and Kendrick Bourne will be asked to pick up the slack with Meyers out. None of them are great streaming options, but Parker is the best choice out of the three wideouts.
Dec 10, 2022 • 11:37 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Exits Early, Examined For Head Injury
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (head) entered the blue medical tent and was examined for a head injury during Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old took a vicious shot from Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin in the end zone, breaking up a potential touchdown reception. Meyers did not return as the injury occurred late in the game. He finished with three catches on five targets for 22 yards before exiting. Meyers will undergo further evaluation, and his status for next Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14 is to be determined.
Dec 2, 2022 • 1:55 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Officially Active For Week 13
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The assumption was that Meyers would play after being limited throughout the week. He injured his shoulder during last Thursday's game, but will be cleared to play this Thursday. The 26-year-old has been the most consistent fantasy contributor out of the wideouts in New England this season. He could have low-end WR3 or flex appeal for this Thursday Night matchup.
Dec 2, 2022 • 12:01 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Expected To Play Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Week 13 due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, according to a source. Meyers was limited in practice on the short week and said that he plans to play after injuring his shoulder early in last Thursday night's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old was able to return to that game to catch three of his four targets for 62 yards. DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor saw expanded roles in that game and both found the end zone with Meyers hurting. Meyers has been the team's leading receiver in 2022 and has been the most consistent fantasy producer, so you should consider him at least a decent WR3/flex in starting lineups in Week 13.
Dec 1, 2022 • 7:05 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Questionable For Thursday Night
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He was limited during practice throughout the week but reportedly is expected to play Thursday. The 26-year-old initially injured his shoulder in the Thanksgiving loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Meyers is New England's leading wide receiver with 47 catches for 571 yards and three touchdowns over nine games in 2022. Nelson Agholor would see an uptick in targets if Meyers is ruled out on Thursday. Fantasy managers should check back an hour before the 8:15 ET kickoff to ensure Meyers is active before inserting the fourth-year wideout into their starting lineups.
Nov 30, 2022 • 9:40 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Nov 29, 2022 • 7:31 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Nov 25, 2022 • 5:24 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Nov 25, 2022 • 2:43 AM | RotoBallerJakobi 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 hauled in one pass for 26 yards before exiting the contest. DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor should see expanded roles in the passing game until Meyers can return.
Nov 25, 2022 • 1:54 AM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Oct 16, 2022 • 5:56 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Questionable For Week 6
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. The 25-year-old is expected to play against the Browns, who rank 25th in pass DVOA. Meyers returned to action in Week 5 after missing the last two games due to a knee issue. 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.
Oct 15, 2022 • 3:22 AM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Oct 13, 2022 • 10:35 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Oct 9, 2022 • 3:59 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Oct 8, 2022 • 4:00 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Oct 6, 2022 • 3:03 AM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Oct 1, 2022 • 6:26 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Sep 30, 2022 • 10:52 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Sep 28, 2022 • 10:51 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Sep 25, 2022 • 4:06 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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. Meyers looked great against the Steelers last week, hauling in nine of 13 targets for 95 yards. In his absence, the Patriots will turn to a combination of Nelson Agholor, DeVante Parker, and Kendrick Bourne at the wide receiver position this week.
Sep 25, 2022 • 1:06 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Questionable For Week 3
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. After missing the last two sessions, he was a limited participant in Friday's practice. The 25-year-old has caught 13 of 19 targets for 150 yards in two games in 2022. He has a plus matchup as the Ravens defense has allowed the most passing yards through the air. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday morning to ensure Meyers is active. Nelson Agholor and DeVante Parker should see an uptick in targets if Meyers is ruled out.
Sep 24, 2022 • 2:05 AM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Sep 22, 2022 • 10:47 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Misses Practice Wednesday
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.
Sep 21, 2022 • 10:33 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Sep 11, 2022 • 3:59 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Expected To Play In Week 1
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. He falls into the low-end WR4 tier this week.
Sep 11, 2022 • 12:16 PM | RotoBallerJakobi 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.
Sep 9, 2022 • 10:37 PM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers Limited Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has now practiced in a limited fashion in back-to-back days. The 25-year-old will need to log a full practice on Friday to better his chances of suiting up for Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. He caught 83 passes for 866 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games in 2022. Meyers is a borderline flex play in PPR leagues as quarterback Mac Jones' go-to target in New England's offense. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status this weekend. Stay tuned.
