Jakobi Meyers Primed for Big Role on Sunday with Davante Adams Out Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers prepares for a larger role in the passing game on Sunday.

Likely to see increased targets Meyers is expected to see increased targets in Sunday's game against the Browns after Davante Adams (hamstring) was ruled out, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Already thin on wideout talent, the Raiders losing Adams opens up ample opportunity for guys like Meyers and Tre Tucker. "I don't need another Davante. There's only one, right? I just need the best version of Jakobi Meyers," coach Antonio Pierce said Friday. While Meyers figures to see increased looks, Brock Bowers might be the biggest beneficiary and the favorite to lead the team in receiving against Cleveland. Meyers has rarely displayed any sort of ceiling for fantasy purposes, but his floor is higher in this spot.

Pads stats in garbage time Meyers recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The stat line suggests that Meyers took a significant step forward in opportunity, though how he got to those numbers is less inspiring. He had just one catch for zero yards at the start of the fourth quarter. With the Raiders down 33-7, Meyers went on to record a 13-yard touchdown and another lengthy reception of 16 yards to account for a significant amount of his production -- the latter of which came from backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell. Meyers will maintain a role in the offense moving forward, but it's likely to be a more peripheral role behind both Davante Adams and Brock Bowers.

Snags four passes Sunday Meyers notched four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win at Baltimore.

Impact Meyers made the most of his three targets in a season-opening loss to the Chargers, pacing the Raiders with 61 yards on three receptions. In Week 2, though, he took a back seat to No. 1 WR Davante Adams (9-110-1 on 12 targets) and rookie TE Brock Bowers (9-98-0 on nine targets), which likely will be the case most games for Las Vegas in 2024. Meyers' next opportunity to make a mark comes next Sunday against the Panthers.

Leading receiver in Week 1 loss Meyers caught all three of his targets for 61 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Meyers' production included a 33-yard catch, which was the longest passing play for either team. He finished with a team-high 61 receiving yards, narrowly edging out Davante Adams (59 yards on six targets) and Brock Bowers (58 yards on eight targets). Adams and Bowers will likely continue to get most of the attention from quarterback Gardner Minshew, so Meyers may need to make the most of limited opportunities to find success in Week 2 against the Ravens and beyond.

Not expected to play Friday Meyers and other starters aren't scheduled to play in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It sounds like the Raiders may also hold out some of their better backups, as QB Aidan O'Connell isn't expected to play Friday night. Come Week 1, the team will have a strong group of pass catchers competing for targets from Gardner Minshew in a road game against the Chargers. It'll be tricky for Meyers to match his 2023 numbers for volume (106 targets in 16 games) or touchdowns (eight rushing, two receiving), but there's no question he'll be on the field for a lot of snaps as either the second or third option in the Raiders' passing game (depending on rookie TE Brock Bowers' usage/progress).

Comes up empty on four targets Meyers failed to bring in any of his four targets in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.

Impact Three of the four targets Meyers saw came from Gardner Minshew on the opening possession, and the final one came on third down from the Cowboys' 11-yard line during the Raiders' second drive. Despite the goose egg Saturday, Meyers is expected to once again serve as a valuable target for either Minshew or Aidan O'Connell come the regular season after posting a 71-807-8 line across 16 regular-season games in 2023.
