Raiders HC Antonio Pierce says WR Jakobi Meyers has "really, really, really stepped up his game," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Since the offseason, he's been lights out."
What They're Saying
Raiders WR Kristian Wilkerson, who has played with Meyers for five years dating back to their time with New England: "He pushes me every single day. He goes hard, practices hard. He leads by example."
SI.com's Carter Landis: "Meyers has the luxury of more one-on-one looks, which he loves to take. He is an excellent route runner whose ability to get open is one of the most reliable skill sets on the Raiders’ roster."
2024 Fantasy Football Impact
Did you even realize that Meyers finished 26th among PPR receivers in his first year with the Raiders -- even with Davante Adams at No. 10 and the QB play abysmal?
That followed a WR30 rank in PPR points per game his final season with New England, the culmination of a quietly successful first four years.
Meyers sits just 56th among WRs in PPR redraft ADP, and WR58 by best ball ADP.
He basically only needs to stay healthy to outperform that draft cost and has already showed the potential to smash it. He's a free square as a WR5 across formats.
Dynasty Impact
Meyers still doesn't turn 28 until November. So he's likely also an underrated asset in your dynasty league. Give him a look before he produces in-season numbers to change that.
