| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Josh McDaniels took another step today in making the Raiders "Patriots west" as they inked Jakobi Meyers to a three-year deal. This is a welcome addition to a Raiders' wide receiver room that was looking thin outside of Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow (Mack Hollins is a FA). The dominoes might not be done falling, though, as this could also signal a Renfrow departure. Renfrow can be cut, and the Raiders can save 1.5 million against the cap. The likeliest outcome is that Renfrow remains in Vegas this year and is cut bait next year when the team can save 8.2 million against the cap next year by kicking him to the curb. The Raiders are surrounding their new starting quarterback with underneath weapons. Meyers will rotate slot work with Renfrow. Meyers played 69.5% from the slot last year (Renfrow 86.0%), drawing a 22.0% target share (29th), a 25.8% target per route run rate (22nd), and a 27.4% air yard share as the Patriots' number one option. He was 29th in PFF receiving grade and 23rd in yards per route run (minimum 50 targets per PFF). Meyers has been the WR29 and WR35 in fantasy points per game over the last two seasons. Meyers' signing could signal the Raiders' plan to deploy more 11 personnel this season after ranking 18th in the use of three-plus wide receiver sets last year. Meyers will compete with Hunter Renfrow for second in line at the target water fountain. Meyers is a low-ceiling WR3/4 that gets a small boost in PPR formats. | The limited three-game sample we got with Thomas returning to the field last year was promising. Unfortunately, his season was cut short by another injury, but at least he resembled shades of his former self. Thomas had a 19.6% target share and a 33.3% endzone target share. Thomas wasn't a full-time player, though, as he saw only a 77.3% route run rate which could also speak to his health. If he wasn't fully healthy at any time last year, it would make sense for the team to limit his snaps some trying to conserve him. Thomas managed a 22% target per route run rate and 1.73 yards per route run. Those aren't mind-blowing numbers, but they are solid. With a strong red zone role, he could still produce a WR3 season with those peripherals. Derek Carr should offer an upgrade in quarterback play and overall efficiency of the offense in Big Easy this year. Thomas could turn into a high-floor option, but crafting an upside or ceiling scenario for him in 2023 is difficult. |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | David Chao recently talked about Michael Thomas's outlook on WWL AM 870 and FM 105.3. I'll try and paraphrase the medical information. Thomas is recovering from surgery to fix a dislocated toe. The good news is that this injury is better than a more serious one such as a Lisfranc injury with regards to it reoccurring. The addition of Derek Carr should be a boon to the Saints' passing attack. The bad news is that Dr. Chau would have expected Thomas to be a full go by now (mid-May and he's not. That could mean he's encountered a setback. The fact that Thomas hasn't played much in several years is another obstacle when it comes to getting back into football shape. We'll know more as the season draws closer. As of now, I'm going to be cautious here. I don't like to hear the word setback when it comes to players rehabbing their injuries. Monitor this situation closely as the summer progresses. If Thomas can stay healthy, he has the ability to be a fantasy monster, but that's a big if. Stay tuned. | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 3/13: Joins the Raiders for 3 years, $33M -- low ceiling, high PPR floor slot role he's used to under McDaniels & now no Waller either | 3/13 - He's pumped about Derek Carr's addition. Still huge risk, but at his price (100+), he's well-wroth a stab |
