Las Vegas Raiders WR Dont'e Thornton is a player who has "some real receiver capabilities to him" and "not just a guy that can run fast," according to fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers.
"Dont'e is unique in terms of he's just a hair under 6-foot-5 and he ran 4.3. There's not a lot of humans on this planet that do that. And I think if you had to draw up an outside receiver, you would pick that type of body type, someone that's got length, someone that's got a huge catch radius, but also has speed. Sometimes you can get a big guy like that, but he can't really run, so they can stay with him. So, you add that speed element to him, his ability to sink his hips, his ability to get in and out of cuts," offensive coordinator Chip Kelly said.
Huddle Up: It sounds as if Tre Tucker will not be the team's primary deep threat much longer. Thornton is unquestionably a specimen who should complement Brock Bowers, Meyers and second-round draft choice Jack Bech very well. Thornton may not be able to command enough targets each week to be a consistent force in fantasy as a rookie, but there should be little doubt he will offer spike-week potential if he can beat out Tucker in camp.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers said wants to continue to play with the Raiders but did not say if he was talking with the team about a contract extension.
Huddle Up: Meyers was an important part of the passing game this past season and has a chance for better numbers in 2025 because the team added Geno Smith. He can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers is open to signing a contract extension with the Raiders because he wants to stay with the team long term, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Meyers finished this past season with 1,027 yards and was second on the team with 129 targets. He should continue to see a good amount of targets in 2025 and will be working with a better quarterback. He can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers has been receiving trade interest from teams this offseason.
Huddle Up: Meyers is coming off his first 1,000-yard season of his career, so the Raiders probably want to keep him unless they receive a big offer. He will have an upgrade at quarterback if he remains with the Raiders and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers had nine receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Huddle Up: Meyers shined as the No. 1 receiver once Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets. It's too early to say if Meyers will remain as the top target at wide receiver, or if the team will draft help or sign a free agent. However, Meyers has proven he can be a solid fantasy option in 2025.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers was targeted nine times, catching five for 61 yards and a touchdown, at the New Orleans Saints in Week 17 on Sunday, Dec. 29.
Huddle Up: Meyers remains one of the safest plays week in and week out. The Los Angeles Chargers come to town next week with a chance to move from the sixth to fifth seed, so it could be all hands on deck there, but that's still not enough reason to avoid Meyers.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers ended up with two receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Huddle Up: The two receptions were a season low for Meyers, who had at least four grabs in the 11 games prior to Sunday. He remains more of a WR4 or flex fantasy option heading into Week 17 at New Orleans.

Las Vegas Raiders OG Jordan Meredith (ankle) did not take part in practice on Friday, Dec. 20, and is doubtful for Week 16.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 20, after being limited the two days prior and carries no designation into Week 16.
Huddle Up: With Aidan O'Connell off the injury report and ready to make his return after a one-game absence, Meyers returns to his status as a WR2 play.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, Dec. 19.
Huddle Up: Meyers nearly had a bagel before finally securing some late catches. Thankfully, it looks like QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) will return this week and it won't be QB Desmond Ridder again. That puts Meyers back on the WR2 map, assuming he suits up.
