Jakobi Meyers Week 11 Outlook - Chiefs at Raiders
By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 19th 2020, 8:40am EST
The Patriots wide receviers saw just seven targets last week. Go ahead, ask me how many of them Meyers got. All of them. Over the last four weeks, he's seen 37 targets, which account for a ridiculous 40.2 percent of Newton's pass attempts. If a receiver gets over 25 percent, it's elite. The Texans have only faced 19.1 wide receiver targets per game, but when they do see them, they produce. The 2.03 PPR points per target they've allowed ranks as the fourth-highest mark in the league, so Meyers' high target share should benefit greatly from that. The only issue with guaranteeing production is that Meyers is the clear-cut No. 1 receiver on their team right now and that likely means he'll see Bradley Roby, who's done a great job in coverage, allowing just 20-of-30 passing for 190 yards, though three of the receptions were for touchdowns. With Newton throwing just three touchdowns on the season, we have an issue with touchdowns bailing us out if Meyers doesn't rack up yardage, and that's why he remains in WR3 territory instead of moving higher.
