Snags four passes Sunday
Meyers notched four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win at Baltimore.
Analysis: Meyers made the most of his three targets in a season-opening loss to the Chargers, pacing the Raiders with 61 yards on three receptions. In Week 2, though, he took a back seat to No. 1 WR Davante Adams (9-110-1 on 12 targets) and rookie TE Brock Bowers (9-98-0 on nine targets), which likely will be the case most games for Las Vegas in 2024. Meyers' next opportunity to make a mark comes next Sunday against the Panthers.

Leading receiver in Week 1 loss
Meyers caught all three of his targets for 61 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Meyers' production included a 33-yard catch, which was the longest passing play for either team. He finished with a team-high 61 receiving yards, narrowly edging out Davante Adams (59 yards on six targets) and Brock Bowers (58 yards on eight targets). Adams and Bowers will likely continue to get most of the attention from quarterback Gardner Minshew, so Meyers may need to make the most of limited opportunities to find success in Week 2 against the Ravens and beyond.

Not expected to play Friday
Meyers and other starters aren't scheduled to play in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It sounds like the Raiders may also hold out some of their better backups, as QB Aidan O'Connell isn't expected to play Friday night. Come Week 1, the team will have a strong group of pass catchers competing for targets from Gardner Minshew in a road game against the Chargers. It'll be tricky for Meyers to match his 2023 numbers for volume (106 targets in 16 games) or touchdowns (eight rushing, two receiving), but there's no question he'll be on the field for a lot of snaps as either the second…read more

Comes up empty on four targets
Meyers failed to bring in any of his four targets in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night.
Analysis: Three of the four targets Meyers saw came from Gardner Minshew on the opening possession, and the final one came on third down from the Cowboys' 11-yard line during the Raiders' second drive. Despite the goose egg Saturday, Meyers is expected to once again serve as a valuable target for either Minshew or Aidan O'Connell in the upcoming campaign after posting a 71-807-8 line across 16 regular-season games in 2023.

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.

Six grabs in Sunday's loss
Meyers caught six of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Davante Adams monopolized the attention of rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell on the afternoon, but Meyers finished second on the Raiders in catches, targets and receiving yards. It's the first time the fifth-year wideout had seen double-digit targets since Week 7, and Meyers is just within striking distance of a new career high if he's able to produce 121 receiving yards in Week 18 against the Broncos -- a secondary he lit up for a 9-81-2 line in their first meeting this season way back in…read more

Records three catches in Week 16
Meyers hauled in three of five targets for 42 yards during Monday's 20-14 victory in Kansas City.
Analysis: On a day in which Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell managed just 62 yards passing, Meyers paced the team in catches and receiving yards and ranked second in targets to only Davante Adams (six). It was a quiet follow-up to Meyers' Week 15, when he recorded touchdowns as both a receiver and passer in a 63-21 win against the Chargers. His next chance to produce arrives Sunday in Indianapolis.

Catches, throws TDs in big win
Meyers brought in two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown and completed both his pass attempts for 12 yards and another score in the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Meyers made a significant impact on just two touches, recording his seventh receiving touchdown of the season on a 22-yard grab late in the first quarter. He later added a three-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams to cap off the Raiders' opening drive of the second half after catching a wide receiver screen from Aidan O'Connell. Meyers now has reached the 60-catch mark for the third straight season, but it's worth noting his receiving score was only his second in the last seven games. Meyers…read more

Five grabs in Sunday's loss
Meyers caught five of six targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The Raiders' offense came out of the team's bye in a complete funk, but Meyers was still able to haul in at least four passes for the third straight game, although his grabs didn't produce much yardage. The fifth-year wideout hasn't seen double-digit targets since Week 7, but he'll look to break out in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Variety of involvement Sunday
Meyers caught six of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown while adding one rushing attempt for two yards and throwing a pass attempt that fell incomplete in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Meyers wound up leading the team in receiving in addition to his pair of unconventional touches Sunday, as Las Vegas' coaching staff was intent on getting its budding star back on track. The NC State product was recruited as a quarterback out of high school, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that teams have attempted to utilize that additional skill on trick plays. While Meyers failed to complete a pass against the Chiefs, his receiving touchdown on the Raiders' opening drive was the wideout's…read more

Four catches in Week 11 loss
Meyers secured four of five targets for 49 yards in the Raiders' 20-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers was third on Las Vegas in receptions, tied for third in targets and second in receiving yards on the afternoon, but all three totals were modest. After a busy first six games of the season, Meyers' catch and yardage tallies Sunday were his best since Week 7, while his target total tied for his highest in that sample. Meyers will aim to keep building on his rapport with rookie signal-caller Aidan O'Connell in a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs.

Down game on SNF
Meyers was held to two catches on as many targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers finished with two or fewer receptions for the third consecutive week following his blazing start to the season with Las Vegas. He was able to negate last week's dip in usage by scoring the first rushing touchdown of his career against the Giants, but there were no unexpected bonuses this time around. Meyers' recent slump roughly coincides with starter Jimmy Garoppolo getting hurt and eventually demoted to backup, as the two showed great chemistry earlier in the year after joining forces…read more

Scores first rushing TD of career
Meyers caught two of five targets for 38 yards while scoring a 17-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: It was the first rushing touchdown of Meyers' career and also his longest carry on nine career attempts. The versatile wideout has now thrown, ran and caught a touchdown over the course of his five years in the league. The 27-year-old's six combined scores through eight games with Las Vegas already matches the high he set last season with New England when he had six scores over 14 games. The next stop for Meyers' breakout fantasy campaign will come in a home matchup against the Jets on Sunday…read more

Held back by QB's poor play
Meyers caught his only target for 19 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Meyers' lone target didn't come until the fourth quarter, as Jimmy Garoppolo threw for just 62 yards through the first three quarters and finished with 126 passing yards in the quarterback's return from a back injury. The wide receiver also made a heads-up play later in the fourth to momentarily keep the Raiders' faint hopes alive, jumping on top of a Josh Jacobs fumble and advancing it one yard. Meyers had at least four catches in four of his previous six appearances this season, so he'll…read more

Finds end zone again Sunday
Meyers caught seven of 13 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: The touchdown came in garbage time after rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell had replaced Brian Hoyer under center. Meyers has scored a TD in three straight games and five times total on the year, a big leap from his Patriot days when he found the end zone only twice in his first three seasons. Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is expected back in Week 8 against the Lions, but Meyers has shown he can be productive no matter who is throwing him the ball.

Catches lone receiving TD
Meyers had five receptions on six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over New England.
Analysis: The Patriots' defense zoned in on No. 1 wideout Davante Adams, affording Meyers the opportunity to catch the Raiders' lone offensive touchdown Sunday. The former Patriot made his old club pay in the narrow victory, but he may be without his starting quarterback after Jimmy Garoppolo was knocked out of the game with a back injury. The free-agent duo had joined forces in Las Vegas to make Meyers an early fantasy star this year, so Garoppolo's status could be key for the wideout heading into next…read more

Meyers was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a wrist injury, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: The Raiders didn't practice Wednesday after playing Monday, but Meyers would have been limited had the team held a formal session. Fellow wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant, but at this stage, there's little reason to believe that either of Las Vegas' starting wideouts is in danger of sitting out Sunday against Meyers' former team, the Patriots.

Bounces back as starting QB returns
Meyers turned 10 targets into seven receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-13 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Meyers welcomed back starter Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) with open arms after receiving a season-low four targets Week 4 with rookie Aidan O'Connell filling in for the injured starter. Meyers finished as the Raiders' leading receiver with fellow starter Davante Adams (shoulder) playing at less than 100 percent Monday. The former has now reached double-digit targets in all three games that both he and Garoppolo have been active in this season. Meyers is on pace for his first 1,000-yard season…read more

Overlooked by O'Connell
Meyers recorded two receptions on four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Meyers had proven to be a key target for Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) in two games this season, commanding 10 and 12 targets. However, he lost out significantly with Aidan O'Connell under center, as Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs were the only two pass catchers to be targeted more than four times. The good news for Meyers is that Garoppolo is likely to return in time for a Week 5 matchup against the Packers.

Garners 12 targets on SNF
Meyers (concussion) turned 12 targets into seven receptions for 85 yards in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Meyers returned from a one-game absence after clearing the league's concussion protocol, resuming his role as the Raiders' No. 2 wideout. His 12 targets finished only behind teammate Davante Adams, who racked up a whopping 13-172-2 receiving line on 20 targets. Meyers still finished with a strong fantasy line in his own right, and he has now recorded double-digit targets in both of his active games since joining Las Vegas this past offseason.

Meyers (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: Meyers was a full participant both Thursday and Friday after clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol. He missed Vegas' Week 2 loss to Buffalo after getting hurt late in the season opener against Denver. Meyers was integral to the win over the Broncos, scoring two touchdowns in his team debut. He's expected to return to a starting role on the outside opposite Davante Adams versus the Steelers.

Clear of concussion protocol
Meyes (concussion) has fully cleared the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Meyers practiced in full Thursday and looks fully on track for Sunday night's matchup against the Steelers. The No. 2 wideout sat out Week 2 due to a hit sustained during the Raiders' regular-season opener, a game in which he secured nine of ten targets for 81 yards and two scores prior to departing. Meyers retaking the field alongside Davante Adams will bode well for Jimmy Garoppolo's odds of finding success through the air versus Pittsburgh's secondary.

Analysis: Meyers, who was inactive for the Raiders' Week 2 loss to the Patriots, was a limited practice participant Wednesday, but the wideout's full participation in Thursday's session has him trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Steelers. The Raiders haven't yet confirmed whether Meyers has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but added clarity on that front will arrive no later than Friday, when Las Vegas posts its final Week 3 injury report.

Analysis: Meyers, who suffered a concussion in Week 1, is "moving through the protocol the right way," according to head coach Josh McDaniels. With a limited session under his belt, Meyers has at least made progress on some level as he navigates the five-step protocol. In addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, Meyers may need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to have a realistic chance at suiting up Sunday against the Steelers.

Meyers (concussion) will practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers entered the concussion protocol during the Raiders' Week 1 win over Denver and wasn't able to practice at all last week before sitting out the taem's blowout loss to Buffalo. He could be back Sunday against Pittsburgh and should be the second option in the Raiders' passing game if he can clear the five-step protocol.

Trending in right direction
Coach Josh McDaniels said Monday that Meyers (concussion) is "headed in the right direction," but it's too early to know if he'll be cleared for the Raiders' home opener against the Steelers on Sunday night, Jimmy Durkin of the Athletic reports.
Analysis: Meyers didn't play Week 2 after suffering a concussion during the season opener at Denver. The wideout made his presence felt before getting knocked out of that game, recording nine receptions (on 10 targets) for 81 yards and two touchdowns. McDaniels' comments are encouraging, but further clarity on Meyers' availability should surface Wednesday when the Raiders have to release their first injury report of Week 3.

Analysis: Meyers didn't practice this week and will target a potential return to action Week 3 against the Steelers. Per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN, in Meyers' absence, slot receiver Hunter Renfrow and rookie TE Michael Mayer are candidates to see additional Week 2 targets, while DeAndre Carter, Kristian Wilkerson and Tre Tucker are on hand to provide the Raiders with WR depth this weekend.

He suffered the injury on a hit from Kareem Jackson late in the fourth quarter. Meyers will need to gain full medical clearance before he can suit up again, making his status unclear for the Week 2 matchup in Buffalo.

Possible concussion after two TDs
Meyers is being evaluated for a concussion after Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. Prior to getting injured in the fourth quarter, Meyers caught nine of 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns.
Analysis: Meyers stayed down after a high hit from Kareem Jackson in the game's final minutes. After eventually being helped to his feet, Meyers was immediately taken to the locker room, per Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Gutierrez notes that Meyers was upright in the locker room, but the wide receiver will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance to build on his productive debut in Week 2 against the Bills.

Solid gain on one catch
Meyers brought in his only target for 18 yards in the Raiders' 34-17 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday night.
Analysis: The veteran wideout made his one grab count, bringing in a pass from Jimmy Garoppolo on the Raiders' opening drive to take the ball down to the Rams' 19-yard line. Meyers should develop into a highly reliable short- and medium-range target for Garoppolo during the coming campaign while working alongside Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow in three-wide sets.

Lands in Las Vegas
Meyers agreed Tuesday with the Raiders on a three-year, $33 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Meyers heads to a familiar offensive scheme under head coach Josh McDaniels while landing a relatively affordable deal that includes $21 million guaranteed. After operating as New England's top wideout in recent years, Meyers now slots in as a comfortable No. 2 option behind top receiver Davante Adams, giving new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) a more complete complement of skill-position players. Meyers' departure leaves the Patriots with a significant void to fill in the passing game.

The pending unrestricted free agent finishes the season on a three-game touchdown streak, raising his season totals to 67 catches, 804 yards and six touchdowns on 96 targets.

Analysis: Meyers aggravated a shoulder injury in last week's win over the Dolphins, but given that he was able to practice Wednesday through Friday, the Patriots' top wide receiver should be on the field Sunday in a game that has playoff implications on both sides.

Meyers suggested following Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins that he's "fine" after aggravating his shoulder injury during the contest, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Meyers secured six of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 22-18 loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
Analysis: Meyers tied Kendrick Bourne for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to him in receiving yards and targets. He also recorded a memorable touchdown grab with just over six minutes remaining when the ball was deflected at the goal line and landed in Meyers' hands for the score. The fourth-year wideout's reception and receiving yardage totals were his best since Week 8 and Week 5, respectively, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a critical Week 17 home showdown against…read more

Listed as active Saturday
Meyers (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Meyers approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice this week, but he'll play through his shoulder issue and should continue to log enough snaps and targets to merit lineup consideration in PPR formats. That said, the Patriots' top wide receiver's fantasy ceiling Saturday hinges on signal-caller Mac Jones rebounding from a 112-yard passing effort in the team's Week 15 loss to the Raiders, a game in which Meyers caught two of his six targets for 47 yards.

Expected to play Saturday
Meyers (shoulder) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Meyers is listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion Tuesday through Thursday, but Rapoport indicates that the wide receiver is trending toward being active versus Cincinnati. Official confirmation of Meyers' Week 16 status will arrive once the Patriots' inactives are posted ahead of Saturday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable
Meyers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals after practicing in a limited fashion Tuesday through Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: We'd be surprised if Meyers isn't available this weekend, but his status is nonetheless worth verifying as Saturday's 1:00 kickoff approaches. Assuming he suits up, Meyers should see enough snaps and targets to merit lineup consideration in PPR formats, but his Week 16 upside hinges on QB Mac Jones bouncing back from a 112-yard passing effort in this past Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

Limited by shoulder issue
Meyers (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Meyers moved past a concussion to suit up for this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders, logging a 62 percent snap share while catching two of his six targets for 47 yards. A shoulder issue has limited him at practice this week, but he's still likely to suit up this Saturday against the Bengals, though there's a chance he carries a questionable designation into the contest.

Listed on injury report still
Meyers (concussion) is listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report estimate.
Analysis: It's an unusual move to list Meyers on the practice report after he cleared concussion protocol and played in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders. He did play somewhat less than usual -- 62 percent snap share, compared to 80-plus every week in the first half of the season -- but there was no report of any setback. Unless something is reported, Meyers should be good to go for Saturday's matchup with the Bengals.

Quiet day ends in disaster
Meyers caught two of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The entire Patriots passing game struggled, and Meyers wound up leading the team in receiving yards in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, but his performance was marred by a nightmarish ending. With the score tied, the Patriots tried to produce a miracle touchdown on their final play, only for Meyers' attempted back pass to Mac Jones to wind up being grabbed by Chandler Jones instead, who rumbled the other way for the game-winning score. Meyers hasn't topped 62 yards in…read more

Returns to action Sunday
Meyers (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: After finishing the week with a limited practice, Meyers will suit up Sunday, following a one-game absence due to a concussion he sustained versus the Bills on Dec. 1. With fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) inactive, Meyers should reclaim his key pass-catching role in the Patriots' Week 15 offense alongside Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton. Through 10 games to date, Meyers is averaging five catches (on 6.7 targets) for 59.3 yards to go along with three TDs, a pace…read more

The Patriots expect Meyers (concussion), who is listed as questionable, to play Sunday against the Raiders, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: After sitting out this past Monday's win over the Cardinals, Meyers returned to practice in a limited fashion Friday and looks to be trending toward a return to the lineup Sunday. Official confirmation of the wide receiver's Week 15 status will arrive once the Patriots' inactive list is posted ahead of the team's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable for Week 15
Meyers (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Meyers closed out the week with a limited practice, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend following a one-game absence. Meanwhile, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Look for added context with regard to Meyers' Week 15 status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, but if he's available, the 26-year-old would presumably be in line to reclaim a key role in a Patriots wideout corps that also includes Nelson Agholor, Kendrick…read more

Gets downgrade to DNP
Meyers (concussion) officially didn't practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Initially, Meyers was listed as limited for a second day in a row on New England's Week 15 injury report. However, the team updated Thursday's version later, making him a non-participant for the fourth time on five reports since being diagnosed with a concussion Week 13 against the Bills.

Stays limited at practice
Meyers (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: While Meyers was deemed a limited participant both Wednesday and Thursday, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has yet to practice this week. Considering that, Meyers seems more likely to play this weekend against the Raiders than Parker, but chances are he'll approach Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET contest with a Week 15 injury designation.

Meyers (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers wasn't spotted on the field during the media-access portion of practice, but he apparently got some work in after all. With that in mind, Meyers may have a chance at putting an end to a one-game absence this weekend against the Raiders. In order for that to come to fruition, however, Meyers will likely need to put in a full practice by Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist.

Meyers (concussion) isn't participating in practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: New England was without two of its starting receivers for its first Week 15 practice, as DeVante Parker wasn't present for the session while he recovers from a concussion of his own. Meyers was held out of this past Monday's win over the Cardinals while in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, while Parker exited the Week 14 contest after sustaining the head injury.

Analysis: Two straight absences from practice cloud Meyers' status for Monday's game against the Cardinals, but the Patriots' top wide receiver has one more chance to practice Saturday before Week 14 injury designations are assigned. If Meyers ends up not being cleared to face Arizona, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton would serve as New England's top four options at receiver.

Misses practice with concussion
Meyers, who didn't participate in Thursday's practice, is in the NFL's concussion protocol, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers was forced out of last Thursday's loss to the Bills due to a reported head injury, but now it's been confirmed that the wideout is dealing with a concussion ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. Meyers now has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but if he's unavailable versus Arizona, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton would be candidates to log added Week 14 WR snaps and targets.

Meyers (head) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Mark Daniels of Masslive.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers left last Thursday's loss to the Bills due to a head injury, and while the wideout suggested afterward that he was "fine," his absence from practice a week later makes his status worth tracking as Monday night's game against the Cardinals approaches. If Meyers is limited or sidelined versus Arizona, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton would be candidates to see added pass-catching opportunities Week 14.

Analysis: Meyers was hit hard in the end zone late in the fourth quarter, which broke up what originally appeared to be a touchdown catch. Due to the injury occurring late in the game, Meyers will likely be out for the rest of Thursday's game -- though nothing has officially been announced by the Patriots.

Limited to start Week 13 prep
Meyers (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant during Monday's practice.
Analysis: Meyers was held to just 16 offensive snaps during New England's Thanksgiving Day loss to Minnesota due to a shoulder injury, though he still caught three of four targets for 62 yards. The wideout downplayed the injury following the game, and his participation at practice Monday, albeit in a limited fashion, is an encouraging sign. Meyers will have two more opportunities to log a full session before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's divisional clash against Buffalo.

Dealing with shoulder issue
Meyers downplayed the shoulder issue he dealt with during Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports. "Sore. I'll be alright though," Meyers said of his shoulder following the contest. "It started to feel better as the game went on."
Analysis: Though Meyers was limited to 16 snaps versus the Vikings, he still managed to catch three passes (on four targets) for 62 yards in the contest. Look for the Patriots' top wideout to appear on next week's injury report ahead of the team's Dec. 1 game against the Bills. At this stage, however, Meyers looks like he's on track to be available for the Week 13 matchup.

Solid yardage total in loss
Meyers brought in three of four targets for 62 yards in the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis: Meyers had the rare experience of being outpaced in catches by two of his position mates, Nelson Agholor (six receptions) and DeVante Parker (four grabs). However, the 26-year-old wideout did post his third-highest yardage total of the campaign and best since Week 5, making it a reasonably productive night overall. Meyers now takes aim at the tough Bills secondary next Thursday night in a critical Week 13 home divisional matchup.

Notches sixth 50-yard game of 2022
Meyers caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers tied Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in targets and finished four receiving yards shy of the running back's team-high total. New England's offense didn't get into the end zone, as the game's only touchdown came on a Patriots punt return in the final minute.

Targeted six times in win
Meyers recorded five receptions on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.
Analysis: The Patriots didn't need to get aggressive on offense in order to win, and that was reflected in Meyers' stat line. He managed at least five receptions for the fourth time in seven games on the campaign but still came away with his second-lowest yardage total in that same span. The Patriots will head into their bye and may return to another slow-paced game dominated by defense in Week 11 against the Jets.

Five-yard TD among nine catches
Meyers caught nine of 12 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Meyers gave the Patriots a 13-10 lead with a five-yard touchdown catch early in the third quarter as the Patriots dinked and dunked their way to victory. In addition to scoring the team's only touchdown, the shifty slot receiver led New England in targets and catches while finishing 12 receiving yards short of Rhamondre Stevenson's team-high total. Stevenson and Meyers are the only skill players seeing consistent usage for the Patriots heading into the team's Week 9 game against the Colts.

Finds end zone in MNF loss
Meyers caught both his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Meyers made a splash early in the game by hauling in a 30-yard pass from Bailey Zappe to account for New England's first score of the game. However, he largely disappeared from there and was out-targeted by both DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton. It was only Meyers' fourth career touchdown across 51 games, and he is typically reliant upon target volume to be productive.

Analysis: Meyers finished with a second straight solid stat line after posting a 7-111-1 line on eight targets in his Week 5 return. The fourth-year pro may be dealing with lingering knee issues for some time, but as the last two games have demonstrated, they aren't impeding his production.

Questionable for Sunday's game

Analysis: Fortunately for those considering the Patriots' leading pass catcher in fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Meyers -- who has caught 13 of his 19 targets for 150 yards in two games -- ends up out or limited this weekend, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Lil'Jordan Humphrey would be candidates to see added opportunities versus Baltimore alongside fellow wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Meanwhile, the team's top tight ends (Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith) also could…read more

Misses another practice
Meyers (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back practice absences cloud Meyers' Week 3 status, but a return to the field Friday in any capacity could brighten his outlook on that front. If, however, Meyers is unable to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Lil'Jordan Humphrey would be candidates to see added opportunities versus Baltimore alongside fellow wide receiver Nelson Agholor.

Sits out practice
Meyers didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Leading up to the Patriots' Week 1 game against the Dolphins, Meyers had been nursing a knee issue, but it didn't prevent him from logging 47 snaps in New England's season-opening loss. He was off the injury report all of last week and finished with nine receptions for 95 yards on 13 targets in a victory over the Steelers. The Patriots didn't indicate that Meyers suffered a setback with the knee against Pittsburgh, so it's possible that his absence Wednesday could be maintenance-related. A…read more

Double-digit targets
Meyers caught nine passes for 95 yards on 13 targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers was less explosive than Nelson Agholor (six catches for 110 yards and one touchdown on six targets) but more than doubled Agholor's target volume. It's a reminder that Meyers is more of a floor player than a ceiling one, but if he keeps getting double-digit targets the truly big game will happen eventually.

Leading receiver in Week 1 loss
Meyers (knee) caught four of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Meyers showed no sign of the knee injury that landed him on the injury report throughout the week, as he led the Patriots in catches, targets and receiving yards. While New England's offense remains run-first, Meyers appears to have retained his role as the top target for game manager Mac Jones despite the offseason addition of DeVante Parker. The Patriots will travel to Pittsburgh in Week 2.

Meyers (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Meyers (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The wideout looks on track to suit up Week 1 after having logged a trio of limited practices leading up to the contest. As long as he can avoid any pre-game setbacks, Meyers will be in line to handle his usual key pass-catching role against DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor, facing off against a Dolphins secondary that could be vulnerable without Byron Jones (ankle).

Analysis: He hauled in his lone catch on the Patriots' third possession of the game, hooking up with Mac Jones to help kick-start an 81-yard touchdown drive. Meyers is coming off a strong 2021 campaign and has already established a rapport with the team's second-year QB; however, he heads into Week 1 behind trade acquisition DeVante Parker on the depth chart in what is expected to be a run-oriented offense, so Meyers could have trouble seeing the same kind of target volume he did last year.

Meyers (undisclosed) officially signed his second-round tender from the Patriots on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Meyers has been limited during offseason activities due to "bumps and bruises," but he's expected to be fine by the start of training camp. The undrafted wideout led New England in receiving yards last year, but he'll have competition for targets after the Patriots traded for DeVante Parker this offseason. After signing the tender, Meyers is set to make $3.986 million next season, but the two sides are expected to resume extension talks following the conclusion of minicamp.

Analysis: With no serious injury to report, Meyers should be fine for training camp at the end of July. He'll have more competition for targets this year after the Patriots traded for WR DeVante Parker, but the impact of any lost volume could be offset by improved efficiency, especially if QB Mac Jones takes a big step forward in his second NFL season.

Analysis: Meyers was one of a handful of offensive weapons who were limited, but the severity of their injuries remains unknown. The undrafted wideout out of NC State led New England with 83 receptions, 126 targets and 866 yards last season, so the Patriots will likely be extremely cautious with Mac Jones' favorite target.

Analysis: Meyers led New England's pass catchers in receptions (83), targets (126) and receiving yards (866) to go along with two touchdowns last season, so it's not a major surprise to see the team using the second-round tender.

Meyers finished the 2021 regular season with a team-high 83 catches on 126 targets for 866 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 17 games.
Analysis: Per Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site, Meyers is a pending restricted free agent this offseason, but we'd expect the team to find a way to retain the 25-year-old in 2022. With that in mind, Perillo suggests that a second-round tender probably would facilitate such an outcome. If that happens, Meyers will remain a key cog in a WR corps that also will feature Kendrick Bourne (signed through 2023) and Nelson Agholor (signed through 2022).

Meyers (thigh) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Meyers was limited at practice this past week as he continues to manage a thigh issue he played through in Weeks 17 and 18. Assuming no in-game setbacks, he'll continue to head the Patriots' wideout corps Saturday along with Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Over the course of 17 regular-season outings, Meyers led the team with 83 catches (on 126 targets) for 866 yards and a pair of TDs, a rate of production on the part of the 25-year-old that yielded fantasy relevance in PPR formats.

Analysis: It was the fifth time this season Meyers has hauled in at least 70 yards in a game, but the only scoring plays he was involved in went the other way -- he was Mac Jones' intended target on a pick-six in the first quarter, and the third-year wideout was then charged with a fumble on the final play of the game as he tried to pitch it to a teammate, resulting in a Miami recovery in the end zone for a second defensive TD.

Meyers (thigh) brought in all eight targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 50-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Meyers paced the Patriots in receptions while checking in just behind Kendrick Bourne in receiving yardage. The third-year pro posted his best catch total since Week 4 while taking advantage of the absences of both Nelson Agholor (concussion) and N'Keal Harry (coach's decision), and his four-yard scoring grab just before halftime was only his second touchdown of the campaign.

Meyers caught six of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 33-21 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Meyers led the Patriots in targets, catches and receiving yards as Mac Jones mustered just 145 passing yards. Jones went the entire month of December without throwing a touchdown to a wide receiver, but Meyers continues to play a prominent role in the Patriots' passing game despite having just one touchdown catch in his three seasons with the team. A Week 17 visit from the lowly Jaguars offers a nice opportunity for Meyers to make another rare visit to the end zone.

Scores at long last
Meyers caught four passes for 49 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: On his 135th NFL reception Meyers finally found the end zone, albeit from Brian Hoyer in garbage time rather than starter Mac Jones. Hopefully it's not such a long wait for touchdown No. 2 -- indeed, with Meyers' target volume, he's a good bet to find the end zone a few more times before the season is over. That's particularly true if Jones can build on his three-touchdown showing against the Browns. Meyers projects well against the Falcons on Thursday.

Analysis: Meyers, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in the contest, is averaging six catches and 57.7 receiving yards per game, numbers that put him on the PPR radar.

Totals 56 yards
Meyers recorded four receptions on five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Meyers was targeted five times, good enough for second on the team. However, his upside was greatly limited by a wide distribution of targets with seven different Patriots seeing multiple targets. His performance Sunday was highlighted by catches of 24 and 17 yards, and he now has at least one reception of more than 20 yards in every contest this season. Overall, Meyers has racked up at least 50 receiving yards in each of his last three games heading into a Week 6 matchup against Dallas.

Analysis: Meyers turned in another solid fantasy line, leading the team in receptions and targets for the second week in a row. The 25-year-old also gave his managers a little boost on a couple of trick plays resulting in 45 passing yards. This isn't the first time Meyers has been used as a passer, as he also completed two passes on trick plays last season.

Starter Nelson Agholor struggled having to deal with shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore, which explains the uptick in usage for his fellow wideouts.

Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Meyers was on the field for 52 of a possible 58 snaps on offense in the contest, while Nelson Agholor logged 50 snaps, and Kendrick Bourne was out there for 31 plays. Look for Meyers' playing time to remain steady going forward, and though he operates in an offense that spreads the ball around, as the Patriots' early leader in targets (15) through two games, Meyers (who has 10 catches in that span) does possess some utility in PPR formats.

Catches six passes in opener
Meyers logged 74 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the process, Meyers hauled in six of his team-high nine targets for 44 yards. Meanwhile, Nelson Agholor was on the field for 64 snaps and caught five of his seven targets for 72 yards and a TD, while Kendrick Bourne played 33 snaps and caught one of his three targets for 17 yards. Looking ahead, Meyers' volume in the Patriots' Mac Jones-helmed passing attack will vary depending on game plans/flow, but the 24-year-old should maintain a solid weekly floor, given the steady playing time he…read more

Makes one grab
Meyers caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 22-20 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Meyers' three looks all came from Cam Newton, including one that was intercepted due to Meyers' inability to make a tightly contested grab down the seam. While it remains unclear who will be his starting quarterback for Week 1's matchup against the Dolphins, Meyers' role with New England's first-team offense should give him decent value whether Newton or rookie Mac Jones is under center.

Connects with Cam in win
Meyers brought in all three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Analysis: Half of Meyers' yardage came on a 28-yard first-quarter touchdown grab in conjunction with Cam Newton. Meyers has been impressing throughout camp, and the NC State product appears set for another prominent role in the air attack again this season despite the offseason additions of Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.

Steady effort in camp
Meyers has "picked up where he left off last year, and been the most dependable target" for the Patriots in training camp thus far, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: While much of the offseason attention was focused on free-agent additions Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, Meyers remains in the mix to carve out a key role in the Patriots' receiving corps in 2021. Also making a case on that front is 2019 first-rounder N'Keal Harry, but Meyers -- who led the team with 59 catches for 729 yards in 14 games last season -- is a player who could provide a degree of fantasy utility this coming season if the team's passing game picks up as hoped, either due to…read more

Likely top wideout in minicamp
Meyers appears to be the likely top wide receiver option at minicamp this week, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Callahan notes that both Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne are still learning the playbook, which positions Meyers as the top wideout for the time being. Meyers could continue to hold that role depending on how things go throughout camp, but he figures to face competition once everyone has the system down.

In line to compete with Bourne
Meyers figures to compete with newcomer Kendrick Bourne for a starting slot this coming season, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: It's assumed that free agent acquisition Nelson Agholor will hold down one starting assignment, but following the retirement of Julian Edelman, the rest of the Patriots' depth chart remains unsettled. Though it's clear that the team sees something in Bourne, Meyers did display solid chemistry with QB Cam Newton last season while leading the team with 59 catches for 729 yards in 14 games. Meanwhile, 2018 first-rounder N'Keal Harry is also in the mix, but his role this coming season is undefined.…read more

Team's leading receiver in Year 2
Meyers caught six of seven targets for 68 yards and threw a 19-yard touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for seven yards in the season finale.
Analysis: Meyers spent his freshman season at NC State as a quarterback before converting to wide receiver, and he showed off his passing skills on a trick play in the third quarter, finding Cam Newton for the game-tying touchdown. He finishes the season as New England's leader in both catches (59) and receiving yards (729), but Meyers is yet to catch a touchdown through two NFL seasons. The Patriots will likely look to upgrade their underwhelming receiving corps in the offseason, but Meyers should be a…read more

Makes four grabs
Meyers caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Meyers led the Pats in receiving on a night when the team made an in-game quarterback change from Cam Newton to Jarrett Stidham, with neither QB proving to be effective. Given that dire situation, it's tough to rely on Meyers for production, but his status atop New England's depth chart as well as a favorable matchup against the Jets at least offers some promise ahead of Week 17.

Eclipses century mark
Meyers reeled in seven of 10 targets for 111 yards and lost one fumble during Sunday's 22-12 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Meyers' third-quarter giveaway didn't come back to haunt New England, as the Dolphins were forced into a punt just three plays later. With that in mind, the 24-year-old's Week 15 outing will go down as one of his most impressive of the 2020 campaign, as he eclipsed the century mark in receiving for the second time this season. A Week 16 matchup against Buffalo could allow Meyers to expand on a noteworthy Week 8 performance in a loss to the division rivals in which he notched six catches for 58…read more

Serviceable night in loss
Meyers brought in four of five targets for 47 yards in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Analysis: The second-year wideout managed to put together a serviceable night relative to opportunity, recording multiple receptions for the eighth straight contest. Meyers hasn't come close to matching the career-best 12 receptions and 169 yards he generated versus the Jets in Week 9, but he's posted a 19-211 line on 27 targets in the subsequent five contests, acceptable numbers considering how erratic Cam Newton's play has been under center. With Jarrett Stidham replacing Newton late in Thursday…read more

Does little with six targets
Meyers caught two of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Meyers accounted for nearly a third of the team's targets but gained positive yardage on only one play as the running game and defense took center stage in the blowout. He came into the game having topped 50 yards in five of his last six games, and his relative lack of production in this one can mostly be attributed to the lopsided score. With that said, Meyers will be hard-pressed to produce big numbers in Thursday's matchup against the talented Rams secondary.

Leading receiver in Week 12 win
Meyers caught five of six targets for a team-high 52 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Meyers accounted for more than half of quarterback Cam Newton's 84 passing yards as the Patriots relied on the defense and a pair of James White rushing touchdowns to carry them to victory. While Meyers is still in search of his first career touchdown, he has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in five of his last six games heading into a Week 13 date with the Chargers.

Down day despite Newton's success
Meyers caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Houston.
Analysis: Cam Newton threw for 365 yards but didn't pay much attention to his favorite target from recent weeks. Meyers finished fifth on the team in receiving yards and tied for fourth in targets, while Damiere Byrd paced the team with 132 receiving yards and a touchdown. Meyers will likely draw the attention of top Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson in Week 12, which will make the No. 1 receiver in New England's inconsistent-at-best passing attack a risky option coming off this disappointing outing.

Clearly Newton's top option
Meyers caught five of seven targets for 59 yards while also throwing a 24-yard touchdown on his lone passing attempt in Sunday's 23-17 win over Baltimore.
Analysis: Meyers scored his first NFL touchdown in the 22nd game of his professional career, but it did not come the way most would have expected. The former high-school quarterback received a backwards pass from Cam Newton before planting his feet and throwing a Russell Wilson-esque rainbow that fell into Rex Burkhead's bread basket in the end zone. The trick play was a treat to witness, but the important news for fantasy owners was that Meyers paced all Patriot receivers in targets, catches and…read more

Career-best performance in win
Meyers caught 12 of 14 targets for 169 yards in Monday night's 30-27 win over the Jets.
Analysis: He put together by far the best showing of his young career, accounting for the majority of Cam Newton's 274 passing yards. Meyers was targeted on 40 percent of Newton's 35 attempts, and caught nearly everything thrown his way. Although his longest reception went for 33 yards, Meyers' most important play came on a 20-yard reception that put New England in range for the game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. Following such a great performance, Meyers' stock is undoubtedly on the…read more

Leading receiver in Week 8 loss
Meyers caught six of 10 targets for 58 yards and added a two-point conversion in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Meyers has emerged as the favorite target for struggling quarterback Cam Newton with Julian Edelman (knee) and N'Keal Harry (concussion) both unavailable, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. None of Meyers' gains went for more than 16 yards, but he caught a key two-point conversion to tie the score in the third quarter. Meyers should continue to play a prominent role on his 24th birthday against the porous Jets secondary in Week 9.

Extended snaps await Week 8
Meyers is expected to pick up extra snaps Sunday against the Bills with Julian Edelman (knee) set to miss the contest, Dave Green of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Analysis: The Patriots' No. 4 receiver heading into last week's game against the 49ers, Meyers was thrust into a larger role after starter N'Keal Harry left the contest early with a concussion. Meyers proceeded to play 79 percent of the offensive snaps in the 33-6 loss, finishing the day with four receptions for 60 yards on six targets. With Edelman being ruled out, Meyers should hold down a regular spot in three-wide sets for the second straight game, and the North Carolina State product could have an…read more

Leads team in receiving yards
Meyers caught four of six targets for 60 yards and carried one time for two yards during Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Meyers hadn't seen action in over a month coming in, but he found a way to lead the team in all major receiving categories despite Cam Newton finishing with under 100 passing yards on the day. Newton was ultimately benched in favor of Jarrett Stidham after his third turnover, and Meyers managed to snare a pass from him as well. Given the team's struggles under center and Meyers' inactivity for much of the season, he won't take a great deal of fantasy appeal into next Sunday's meeting with the…read more

Meyers was on the field for seven of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-11 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Catches 26 passes as a rookie
Meyers finished the 2019 regular season with 26 catches (on 41 targets) for 359 yards in 15 games.
Analysis: Meyers stuck around after making the team as an undrafted rookie and even managed to log a few PPR-worthy efforts in the process. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder probably did enough to make the team again in 2020, but it's possible he'll have to fight to keep his slot in New England's wide receiver corps, depending on the team's offseason moves.

Hauls in three passes Sunday
Meyers was on the field for 14 of a possible 73 snaps on offense in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills, en route to catching all three of his targets for 25 yards.
Analysis: Mohamed Sanu (70), Julian Edelman (52) and N'Keal Harry (37) all saw more snaps than Meyers in Week 16, and in such a context Meyers will be a speculative fantasy option in both Week 17 and the NFL postseason.

Relegated to special teams
Meyers was not targeted during Sunday's 34-13 win over Cincinnati and logged just seven offensive snaps during the contest.
Analysis: Meyers was averaging 51.7 yards per game over his prior three outings, but New England went in a different direction Sunday. The Patriots are notorious for changing things up to suit the week's matchup, but -- after recording just one catch in Week 14 -- Meyers' seven offensive snaps Sunday seem like part of a downturn. He's a very tough play Saturday, especially against Buffalo's third-ranked pass defense.

Catches four passes for 74 yards
Meyers logged 54 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-9 win over the Cowboys, en route to catching four passes on nine targets for a season-high 74 yards.
Analysis: Meyers' increased involvement in the Patriots offense was the result of both Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle) being inactive Sunday. Rookie N'Keal Harry also saw added work Week 12, recording 57 offensive snaps and turning his only catch (on four targets) into a 10-yard TD. Meyers' fantasy import in next Sunday's game against the Texans hinges on the status of Dorsett and Sanu, but he's at least demonstrated that he can produce when afforded ample playing time.

Meyers caught one of his two targets for a seven-yard gain during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: He followed up a one-snap, no-target outing in Week 9 with a 19-snap, one-catch game against the Eagles. Granted, that total is far from noteworthy from a fantasy perspective, but Meyers has shown to be serviceable when given the opportunity -- especially as an undrafted rookie. He may get that opportunity in Week 12 with the Patriots potentially missing Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) not 100 percent.

Sees just one snap in Week 9
Meyers logged just one of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: The Patriots ran plenty of three-receiver sets Sunday, but turned almost exclusively to Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett on that front. Meyers thus slots in no higher than New England's No. 4 option at the position, and he could drop another notch once rookie N'Keal Harry re-joins the mix, possibly as soon as Week 11, following the team's bye week..
