The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. 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 13?
Meyers is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play 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 13?
CeeDee Lamb (11.2), Malik Nabers (11.1), Garrett Wilson (10.1), and Ja’Marr Chase (9.9) — that’s your entire list of players averaging more targets per game since Week 3 than Jakobi Meyers (9.6).
In a tough matchup against the Broncos last weekend, he racked up 15 targets on his way to a 10-catch, 121-yard effort (more than double the yardage total projected by sportsbooks). The sledding doesn’t get any easier this week, and a rotating quarterback situation certainly doesn’t help, but Meyers did haul in six of seven looks for 52 yards and a score in the first meeting with the Chiefs this season.
I’d be surprised if he repeated that success, though the volume keeps him as a viable Flex option. Of the top nine WR performances against Kansas City this season, only five have come from the top option in those respective offenses.
Vegas is projected to score 15 points on Black Friday — I’m looking for excuses to play other options if I can (Xavier Worthy and Cedric Tillman are two names that I have ranked ahead of him this week whom I normally don’t).
