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
WRLas Vegas Raiders
January 7, 2024
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.

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.
Meyers figures to compete with newcomer Kendrick Bourne for a starting spot this coming season. It's assumed that free-agent acquisition Nelson Agholor will be a part of the first-team offense, but following the retirement of Julian Edelman, the rest of the Patriots' wide receiver depth chart remains unsettled. Though it's clear that the team sees something in Bourne, Meyers led the Pats last season with 59 catches for 729 yards in 14 games. Meanwhile, 2019 first-rounder N'Keal Harry also is in the mix, but his role is undefined. In that context, Meyers still has an opportunity to carve out a niche in what should be an improved passing attack in 2021, but with the Patriots likely to run plenty and feature two-tight end sets, earning steady volume figures to be an issue for any of the team's wideouts.
Meyers, who joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent, beat the odds and stuck around with the team last year. He even managed to log a few PPR-worthy efforts in the process, while finishing the regular season with 26 catches for 359 yards in 15 games. Heading into the 2020 campaign, the 6-2, 200-pounder may have to fight to keep his slot in New England's wide receiver rotation behind Julian Edelman, given that N'Keal Harry will be healthy out of the gate and Damiere Byrd was added in free agency.
With N'Keal Harry on IR, Meyers is sticking around as a depth option behind Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Demaryius Thomas and Phillip Dorsett. Making the team was a feat for the undrafted free agent, but additional roster attrition would have to occur in order for Meyers to merit fantasy consideration.
