2025 Fantasy Outlook

Volume & Opportunity

• With the Raiders bringing in Geno Smith and keeping pass‑catchers like Bowers, Meyers remains the primary underneath option

• New coach Pete Carroll and OC Chip Kelly are expected to lean on play-action passes utilizing possession receivers, favoring Meyers’ skillset

Efficiency Indicators

• 11.8 YPR indicates dependable but not a home-run threat

• Explosive plays ranked #24 at WR

• Four touchdowns were underwhelming given usage; expect modest increase in red-zone opportunities

Target Distribution

• New additions include Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton — could steal some targets, particularly vertical ones

• Still, Meyers’ role as a safety valve and red-zone option should cement 120–130 targets

Contract & Team Commitment

• Entering final year of contract (2023‑25: $33M deal; 2025 cap hit ~$15M)

• Raiders expected to extend or feature him heavily

Headliner Take

Jakobi Meyers enters the 2025 season as a reliable, high-floor option for fantasy managers, particularly in PPR formats. After posting 87 receptions for 1,027 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2024 without a single drop, Meyers remains a key part of the Raiders’ passing attack alongside Brock Bowers. His consistent target share (over 24% last season) and clean hands make him a dependable weekly starter, though his scoring upside is modest due to limited red-zone success. With Geno Smith at quarterback and a more efficient offensive scheme with new home run hitting rookie RB Ashton Jeanty, Meyers should continue to provide steady production as a safe WR3/4.
