2024 Fantasy Outlook
Once famous for catching a ton of passes without even one going for a touchdown, Meyers went on an unexpected binge the past two seasons, hitting paydirt six times in 14 games during his final season with New England and then 10 times (two rushing) in 16 games for the Raiders last year. His other numbers in his first Vegas season were solid but less impressive, with the 27-year-old grabbing 71 of 106 targets (67.0 percent) for 807 yards (11.4 YPR, 7.6 YPT). Most of his peripherals looked very similar to what he'd done in New England, including the catch rate, YPT, YPR, a 9.7 aDOT and a 3.4 YAC average. There's nothing that really stands out about Meyers, apart from reliable hands, though he at least plays faster than a 4.63 40 time back in 2019 seemed to suggest. He's never been a deep threat despite being reasonably tall (6-2, 200), and his work with the ball in his hands also fails to stand out. And yet, Meyers is undoubtedly a good player -- one who's added value to every team he's been on despite being stuck with bad QBs every year besides his rookie season (Tom Brady's final Patriots campaign). He's very likely looking at TD regression in 2024, especially after Gardner Minshew was the Raiders' "big" QB addition, and there's also some chance of a modest volume decline after the team drafted TE Brock Bowers in the first round. Bowers just might be good enough to step right in as the second option after WR Davante Adams, who took a step back last season but still commanded targets at his usual, dominant rate.

Strong finish to season
Meyers caught three of five targets for 61 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Meyers improvised on a play on which he was expected to throw, reversing field and ultimately scampering into the end zone from close range. The wideout then found pay dirt again with a wide-open 33-yard grab to begin the fourth quarter. Despite inconsistent quarterback play, Meyers finished the season with 71 catches on 106 targets for 807 yards and nine total touchdowns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could decline due to QB change
Meyers could see his production decline in the weeks to come after the Raiders benched incumbent starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for rookie Aidan O'Connell ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Outside of Week 8, when Garoppolo completed just 10 passes, Meyers has enjoyed a tremendous rapport with the veteran-signal caller. The wideout eclipsed 60 receiving yards in each of the other four games in which both Meyers and Garoppolo were available. When O'Connell started in Week 4 against the Chargers, Meyers had 33 yards on just four targets, while Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs each had at least 11 targets, eight catches and 75 receiving yards.

2019
Meyers reunites this season with Josh McDaniels, his offensive coordinator in New England the first three years of his career (2019-21). It was under McDaniels that Meyers developed from a 2019 UDFA into a solid starter, though the 26-year-old's best fantasy season actually happened last year within a mess of a New England offense in which his six TDs, 8.4 YPT and career-high 57.4 receiving yards per game (14 appearances) put him among the few bright spots. It was enough to earn a three-year, $33 million contract, though the Raiders can get out of it after one season and about $11 million if Meyers is healthy next March (the post-2023 guarantees are only for injury). He joins an offense that lost TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins in the offseason, leaving Davante Adams and slot man Hunter Renfrow as the other top options for new QB Jimmy Garoppolo. None of that sounds overly encouraging, apart from maybe Waller's departure, as Garoppolo is mediocre, Adams is essentially assured of massive volume and Renfrow's talents might conflict with Meyers'. That said, Meyers is 6-2 and has actually produced more yards per route from the perimeter than the slot in each of his NFL seasons, albeit while running 60-70 percent of his routes inside each year and doing little to prove that his 4.63 40 at the 2019 combine was a fluke.
