Jakobi Meyers Doubtful To Play Against Rams
2 months agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful to play in Week 7 on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Antonio Pierce was hopeful that Meyers would play this weekend after he missed practice on Wednesday, but the 27-year-old pass-catcher wasn't able to get back on the practice field on Thursday and is now likely to miss his second straight game. After the Raiders traded away All-Pro receiver Davante Adams to the Jets this week, their receiving corps is brutally thin with Meyers also hurt. They will move forward with Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and rookie tight end Brock Bowers as their primary targets for quarterback Aidan O'Connell through the air. Tyreik McAllister and Kristian Wilkerson could also get more involved for the Raiders at wideout. At best, Tucker should be considered more of a WR5/flex in fantasy with Meyers likely out again.
