2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Meyers finally scored his first TD Week 10 last year, and within a few weeks he'd reached
career highs in every other major counting stat, albeit with career lows for yards per catch and
yards per target. Rookie QB Mac Jones played better than Cam Newton the year before, and
Meyers was probably lucky in the first place to post 9.0 YPT and a 72.8 percent catch rate in a
Newton-led offense. The most likely scenario for 2022 is Meyers recovering some of the
efficiency but failing to match last year's 126 targets. That's partly because the team has a more experienced version of Jones in Year 2, and partly on account of a more diverse passing game
with DeVante Parker and second-round pick Tyquan Thornton added at WR. The improved depth likely will cost
Meyers snaps and targets on the perimeter, which accounted for about a third of his volume, but
he'll still be the primary slot man and one of Jones' most trusted receivers.
