Is Jakobi Meyers Hurt Or Healthy?
The New England offense has been a sore spot for the squad this year, but Jakobi Meyers has been one of the bright spots in the Patriots' passing attack in 2022. Meyers has struggled with injuries, yet has still managed to log 771 receiving yards and five TDs on 64 receptions.
Meyers caught six of nine targets for 48 yards and a score against the Miami Dolphins in New England's Week 17 win. Unfortunately, he left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent shoulder injury and did not return.
What's The Fantasy Football Outlook For Jakobi Meyers In Week 18?
The Patriots face a "win and in" playoff scenario in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills. Meyers has been the team's best receiver throughout 2022.
While we're still waiting on an official evaluation and injury status from the team, Meyers himself said after Week 17's win over the Dolphins that he would be ready to go against Buffalo in the regular-season finale.
The final decision doesn't always come down to the player himself, but it is encouraging to see the Pats' star wideout sound positive about his Week 18 outlook. Fantasy managers and NFL DFS grinders will need to continue to monitor Meyers' practice status throughout the week.
