Jakobi Meyers Expected To Play In Week 5
2 years agoNew England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to play in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, according to a league source. Meyers has missed the last two games with a knee injury, but he's expected to return on Sunday despite being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. The 25-year-old was able to put in limited practices all week, giving him a great shot to return for the first time since Week 2. His return will be bad news for DeVante Parker, who has become a waiver-wire pickup after a couple solid weeks with Meyers out of action. Meyers' fantasy managers should downgrade him if he's active, though, since rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe will be making his first career start this weekend with Mac Jones (ankle) out another game and with Brian Hoyer (concussion) on Injured Reserve.
