Five bold predictions for Patriots in week four

Jakobi Meyers leads the team in receptions

Another player who should be back on the field this week is wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, although he too is listed as questionable. Right now, everyone is high on DeVante Parker after his big game last week, but I don’t foresee him replicating that performance against a stout secondary. Instead, like Henry, I can see Hoyer leaning on Meyers to pick soft spots in the Green Bay zone.

Although he missed last week, Meyers still leads the team with 19 targets and 13 receptions while his yards per target is 7.9 compared to Kendrick Bourne (12.8), Nelson Agholor (12.8) and Parker (11.8). I don’t think Hoyer will take those deep shots and Meyers will be able to make an impact in the passing game.

Editor’s Note: Jakobi Meyers has been ruled out for this game. This article was released before the news broke.
