Week 6 vs New York Giants
After losing Phillip Dorsett very early in their Week 5 matchup with Washington, it wouldn't have been surprising to see Jakobi Meyers inherit some of Dorsett's targets. Instead, Tom Brady allocated those targets to multiple options that included four targets to tight end Matt LaCosse, two targets each to tight end Ryan Izzo and fullback Jakob Johnson, three targets to Sony Michel, one target to Brandon Bolden, and just two total targets for Meyers.
That may have been a result of a game plan changing on the fly with the loss of Dorsett, but halftime adjustments certainly didn't feature Meyers either. With a short week to implement what projects to be a pass-heavy offense against the Giants, Meyers continues to be a candidate for increased volume, but he's a risky start as a WR5 at best for now.
