Raiders' Jakobi Meyers injury news requires fantasy advice for Week 7 vs. Chiefs image

The Las Vegas Raiders have not had the start to the season they would've wanted.

It threatens to get worse on Sunday in Week 7 when they take on the finding-their-groove Kansas City Chiefs.

And the Raiders are still expected to be without Brock Bowers. Jakobi Meyers is more of a true question mark.

It'd certainly help Vegas to have its WR1 on the field rather than on the sideline.

Is Jakobi Meyers playing today?

Jakobi Meyers is truly questionable for Sunday.

This is what ESPN's Adam Schefter posted on X:

"Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee and toe injury, will work out pre-game to determine whether he can play against the Chiefs, per source."

If Meyers plays, he's a fair FLEX option in fantasy leagues.

If Meyers sits, the obvious fantasy replacement is teammate Tre Tucker if available.

If Tucker isn't available, look for Luke McCaffrey of the Washington Commanders, who will have a huge role this week with both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel out. The same should be true for Josh Reynolds with the New York Jets with Garrett Wilson out.
