Curious about Jakobi Meyers’ injury status? The star wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders has been a key player in the team’s passing game this NFL season, but his availability for Week 14 is uncertain due to an injury. With his status up in the air, fans and fantasy managers await updates.
Here’s everything you need to know about Jakobi Meyers’ injury, recent performances, and what to expect for his Week 14 matchup.
What happened to Jakobi Meyers?
Jakobi Meyers, wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders, was added to the Week 14 injury report with an ankle issue.
He did not practice on Thursday after taking part in Wednesday’s session. His status for the upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is uncertain. Midweek additions to the injury report often signal a more serious concern.
Meyers has been a key player for the Raiders since the trade of Davante Adams. He ranks as WR11 in fantasy points per game over the last five weeks. During this stretch, he has caught 34 passes for 403 yards and one touchdown. Before his injury, Meyers had been one of the most consistent receivers for the Raiders. He averaged ten targets per game in his last five outings.
His absence from practice on Thursday raises concerns about his availability for Sunday’s game. The Raiders’ passing offense had relied heavily on Meyers and rookie tight end Brock Bowers since Week 8 when Meyers returned from a prior ankle injury. If Meyers cannot play, Tre Tucker will likely take on a larger role in the passing game. Tucker has posted solid numbers recently, but he is a riskier option than Meyers, who has been a reliable WR2 in fantasy football.
As Week 14 approaches, Meyers’ injury will be a key storyline for the Raiders. Fantasy managers and the team will closely monitor his status to determine if he can suit up against the Buccaneers.
