2024 Season Outlooks

Meyers sneakily averaged 13.8 PPR points per game in 2023, beating his 12.9 average from 2022. It'll be tough to count on him to do that well again in 2024 not only because of the Raiders' middling QB situation (Gardner Minshew will begin the year as their starter), but because the team added rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who is likely to take targets away from everyone in the offense not named Davante Adams. Meyers is worth drafting as a bench receiver, but not with a pick before Round 10.

Meyers' familiarity with Josh McDaniels' system afforded him a hot start to 2023. He was 20th among WRs through eight weeks with 108.4 fantasy points. After the Raiders dispatched McDaniels, Meyers' production dipped, as he averaged 3.3 fewer points and 2.6 fewer targets per game from that point forward. Ultimately, Meyers finished 24th in fantasy production among wide receivers, a good enough stat line to earn him No. 2 target status again in the Raiders' 2024 offense and a fantasy flex valuation. The team's iffy quarterback situation, however, might mean the second-half version is the more likely one we'll see this year.
