Pro Football Focus names the Las Vegas Raiders' most underrated player and they nailed it

Pro Football Focus recently named the most underrated player on each NFL roster and they nailed their choice for the Las Vegas Raiders. 

PFF went with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers as the Raiders' most underrated player, thanks in large part to his performance in 2024 after the trade of wide receiver Davante Adams. 

Meyers caught a career-high 87 passes for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns last season. 

From PFF: The Raiders relied heavily on Davante Adams as their top receiver during his time with the team, and over the past two years with Meyers on the roster, Adams earned nearly 200 targets across 20 games. With Adams gone since Week 3 of 2024, Meyers really stepped up, earning 108 targets and going for 875 receiving yards and 1.87 yards per route run to rank second on the team, behind only Brock Bowers.

Meyers has established himself as a reliable second option in the passing game for the Raiders, ranking 39th in PFF receiving grade (78.2) and 17th in total targets (232) among 147 qualifying wide receivers since 2023.

Meyers, a former NC State standout who went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft, spent the first four seasons of his pro career with the New England Patriots before landing with the Raiders ahead of the 2023 season. 

The Georgia native has been remarkably consistent through his first six seasons in the NFL. Meyers has caught at least 59 passes in each of the last five seasons while never missing more than three games in a season. 

Meyers, who will turn 29 in November, should be poised for his best season yet in 2025 as he settles into his role as the Raiders' top wide receiver.
