Jakobi Meyers made an immediate impact for his new team in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season. He led all Las Vegas Raiders in receiving before being removed from the game to be checked for a concussion. He was forced to enter the league's official concussion protocol after being helped to the locker room by the medical staff.
It was an unfortunate ending to a promising performance by Meyers, who put himself firmly on the fantasy football radar ahead of Week 2. If he can clear the concussion protocols and suit up this week, he has a strong case to be in at least the WR3 mix on fantasy rosters, if not better.

According to head coach Josh McDaniels, Meyers was unable to practice with the team because he is still in the concussion protocol. This puts his status for their Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills in jeopardy. He can be considered questionable for now.

No timeline for Jakobi Meyers' return
All concussions and other head injuries are treated with as much caution as possible. As such, it's difficult to predict how long Meyers will be sidelined. It all depends on the severity of the injury and when the medical staff decides it's safe for him to play again.
For managers considering trading for a temporary Meyers replacement in their lineups, make sure to use Sportskeeda's fantasy football trade analyzer.
This is a frustrating development for fantasy managers following his massive Week 1 output, ranking him among the top five fantasy football wide receivers this week. They should come up with an alternative plan for Week 2, and possibly beyond, in case he fails to clear concussion protocols in time for the Raiders' next matchup.
