When the Las Vegas Raiders signed Jakobi Meyers in free agency in 2023, it was to be a solid complement starting wide receiver to pair with superstar Davante Adams.
Meyers is an ideal No. 2 receiver. He’s smart, rough and knows how to get open. He’s a perfect No. 2.
But it’s not a perfect world and now Meyers’ role is changing dramatically because of the Adams’ trade saga.
Meyers is becoming the Raiders’ No. 1 receiver. He actually has been the Raiders’ top receiver the past two weeks with Adams out with a hamstring injury.
