The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. 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.
Is Jakobi Meyers Playing in Week 16?
Meyers has been dealing with an ankle issue for a few weeks now. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, but upgraded to full practice on Friday.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jakobi Meyers in Week 16?
You know we are deep into the NFL season when we are heartbroken when news breaks that Aidan O’Connell is inactive.
But, I mean, how bad could it really be?
As it turns out, worse than we could have imagined. Meyers ended up with a fine stat line for boxscore watchers (10.9 PPR points), but this offense didn’t target a receiver in the first half.
You read that right. It doesn’t show a Meyers target or a receiver catch — no player designated as a “WR” on this roster was even looked at for the first 30 minutes.
There are a few of these situations where a bad offense is in a good spot (NYG at ATL, CLE at CIN, etc), and I’m generally betting against bad offenses with my season on the line. Maybe it’s fair, maybe it’s not, but in the middle of the season, I’m more likely to roll the dice on a profile like this than in December with my fate on the line.
