Jakobi Meyers fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2025). Should you start or sit Jakobi Meyers for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Upside WR3
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers enjoyed an impressive start to his time with newly acquired QB Geno Smith. During their victory over the New England Patriots, Meyers led the way as he saw a team-high 10 targets. The veteran was able to bring in eight of them (also a team-high) for 97 yards.
His yardage total was just shy of Brock Bowers' 103 receiving yards.
Seeing Meyers immediately merge as Smith's top WR is an excellent sign for his fantasy outlook. In 2024, despite playing with a rotating door of Las Vegas QBs, Meyers enjoyed a career season as he claimed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, totaling 1,027 yards with four touchdowns.
However, Meyers could be in store for an even larger target share this weekend. Currently, Bowers is dealing with a knee injury and sitting out during Thursday's practice; he could be damaged or potentially be limited in this week's game or potentially be off to sit out.
Managers should keep a close eye on his status heading into their Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. If Bowers is cleared to play, Meyers will carry high-end WR3 value in standard leagues and could push for low-end WR2 value in PPR formats, given his high target share. If Bowers were to be held out of action, Meyers could produce WR2 value in this contest and would be viewed as a must-start in all formats.
