The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Denver Broncos in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jakobi Meyers.

Should You Start or Sit Jakobi Meyers in Week 12?
Things are going sideways in Vegas, and Jakobi Meyers’ high-end volume is becoming less appealing by the week. This team hasn’t cleared 20 points in six of their past seven games, and if you want the granular breakdown, Meyers posted a ninth-percentile yards per route run last week.
That’s just not going to cut it.
Not all weeks are going to be that bad, but the fact that such a performance is within the range of outcomes is concerning. Meyers’ 8.7 targets per game over his last six still hold value, just not in the elevated floor way that we were hoping following the Davante Adams trade.
Meyers is a fringe top-30 receiver for me this week. He gave PPR managers 13.2 points in the Week 5 meeting with the Broncos, earning a 25% target share in a game that saw both Gardner Minshew II and Aidan O’Connell throw north of 15 passes.
