The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. 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 14?
Meyers appeared on Thursday’s injury as a DNP with an ankle injury. He returned for a limited practice on Friday and is considered questionable for Week 14.
This is a new injury for Meyers, who was not listed on Wednesday’s report at all. Midweek downgrades are never a great sign, but the Raiders are not ruling Meyers out. He did miss two games earlier this season with an ankle injury, but it’s unclear if this is related.
Meyers has quietly thrived as the Raiders’ top wide receiver in the wake of the Davante Adams trade. He’s logged at least 90 yards in three of five games since returning in Week 8 and ranks as the WR12 by PPR points per game over that span.

Should You Start or Sit Jakobi Meyers in Week 14?
Meyers has cleared 95 yards in three of his past four games and has been a top-24 receiver in four of his past five. He’s very much making the most of a brutal situation, though it is worth noting that this situation carries a downside, even if Meyers’ fantasy managers haven’t seen it recently.
Over his past four games, he’s earned 43 targets, an impressive number that stabilizes his floor, but with just two of those coming in the red zone, there really isn’t much of a ceiling to consider.
This obviously isn’t a bulletproof situation, that goes without saying. In this matchup, however, I think he’s a safe option. The Bucs blitz at the third highest rate and Meyers’ involvement only rises when an extra defender is brought into the equation (27% on-field target share when his QB is blitzed this season; 19.9% otherwise).
