Myers broke out in a big way in 2012, finishing the season with 79 receptions, a team-leading 806 receiving yards, and four touchdowns.

Analysis: Myers entered the 2012 campaign as a relative unknown having caught just 32 passes over his first three professional seasons, but he finished the season as a top-10 tight end in most fantasy formats. Myers gave fantasy owners a boost with a strong run of performances from Weeks 9-13, but he struggled with consistency and ended the season on a down note. Consider him a borderline starter in standard formats heading into next season.

Myers (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Just an FYI for those still scrambling at tight end and hoping to have Myers available in Week 17.

Myers (shoulder) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: While Myers showed up on the injury report this week, he practiced fully each day and is good to go for Week 17. Myers has been a non-factor in the Raiders' offense of late, and with Terrelle Pryor making his first career start this week, Myers may be asked to do more blocking than route running on Sunday.

Myers caught three passes for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: Myers caught 14 passes for 130 yards in Week 13, but he has totaled just six receptions and 32 yards in the three weeks since. The Raiders' Week 17 opponent, the Chargers, have done a good job shutting down opposing tight ends of late, so don't be surprised if Myers has another quiet showing in the season finale.

Myers a Week 16 sleeper

In his "Week 16 Sleepers" report, Adam Rank notes, "The Panthers have allowed five touchdown passes in their last two home games." FULL SLEEPERS REPORT

Analysis: Myers has disappeared in recent weeks, but he is still getting the targets. If Terrelle Pryor takes over for Carson Palmer, he could be relied on heavily, but could be a risky play since they won't have the rapport Palmer and Myers share.

Myers caught two passes for 15 yards in Sunday's victory over the Chiefs.

Analysis: Myers has had a productive fantasy season on the whole, but he has left fantasy owners out to dry over the last two weeks, totaling just three catches for 22 yards. While he has been a starting tight end option in most formats over the second half of the season, his recent output makes him anything but safe to use in Week 16.

Myers (shoulder) caught one pass for seven yards in Thursday's loss to the Broncos.

Analysis: While it wasn't hard to predict a drop-off from his 14-catch effort in Week 13, Thursday's two-target dud is surprising, given that the tight end was averaging a shade over 10 targets a game over his previous five contests. A bounce-back in Week 15 against the Chiefs is probably in order for Myers, who now has some extra time to nurse his aches and pains thanks to the Raiders' current short week.

Myers (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Analysis: Don't expect Myers to catch 14 passes like he did in Week 13, but he'll continue to see his share of Carson Palmer looks Thursday and working in his favor is that Broncos have had a tough time containing tight ends this season.

Myers (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Analysis: Myers was limited at Tuesday's workout thanks to a minor shoulder injury, but he practice fully Wednesday and is good to go for Week 14. Myers has seen double-digit targets four of the last seven weeks - including a whopping 15 last week - so he is worthy of a starting spot in nearly all fantasy formats this week.

Myers (shoulder) was limited in practice Tuesday, the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Since he was not listed on Monday's injury report, Myers' participation level was likely a precaution with a short week on tap. He is coming off his best performance of the season -- 14 catches (on 15 targets) for 130 yards and a touchdown -- so his status should be watched going into Thursday's game versus Denver.

Myers had 14 catches on 15 targes for 130 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Browns.

Analysis: Myers was a beast Sunday, tying the Raiders' single-game reception record in the process. With injury question marks all over the Raiders' depth chart, Myers has been a consistent receiver for quarterback Carson Palmer and fantasy owners who relied on him Sunday were greatly rewarded for their loyalty.

Myers (shoulder) caught five passes for 37 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Myers, like the rest of the Raiders' passing game, had a quiet day. He saw six targets in the game and has averaged eight looks per game since Week 6, but be aware that he will take on a Browns team in Week 13 that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in the league up to this point.

Analysis: Feel free to roll with Myers, who checks in with an average of 55.4 receiving yards per game to date. He's coming off a Week 11 effort in which he was targeted 10 times, racking up six catches for 55 yards and a TD.

Myers can fill the void

In his Week 12 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes, "Believe it or not, but Myers has been the third-highest scoring tight end (based on fantasy points) over the last four weeks. During that time, he has recorded 220 yards and three touchdowns." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Palmer could be faced to rely on the tight end heavily this week given the Bengals are tough on opposing quarterbacks. He's a nice addition and start for all owners, especially those who will be without Rob Gronkowski for the next several weeks.

Myers (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice, the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: We'll revisit Myers' status Friday, but so far there is nothing to suggest that his Week 10 status is in peril. Myers, who has scored twice in eight games thus far, has quietly recorded an average of 55.3 receiving yards per game, a figure topped by just four NFL tight ends.

Myers caught eight passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Myers saw a team-high 13 targets Sunday and reached the end zone for both the first and second time in his career.

Analysis: Myers caught every pass thrown his way, but he was not very active in the passing game with the Raiders trying to establish the run. Myers is still be dealing with a sore knee, but expect him to continue playing through it.

Myers (knee) caught seven passes for 44 yards in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Though the yardage total was not significant, Myers saw a season-high 10 targets Sunday.

Myers (concussion) caught just one pass for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Analysis: Myers was slowed both by the concussion he picked up last week and a Broncos defense that shut down the Raiders' passing game. The Raiders are off this week, which should give Myers ample time to recover from his head injury.

Analysis: Myers was limited at practice this week, after suffering a concussion in Week 3 against the Steelers, but he passed his concussion test late in the week and will be in the starting lineup Sunday.

Analysis: Myers will look to repeat his Week 1 performance (five catches for 65 yards) against a weak Dolphins pass defense.

Myers (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against Miami, the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: The tests came back negative, but the severity of Myers' injury is uncertain. As it stands now, he will open the year as the Raiders' starting tight end after opening training camp atop the depth chart.

Myers could benefit from offensive coordinator Gregg Knapp's system this season, the Oakland Tribune reports.

Analysis: Knapp previously served as Houston's quarterbacks coach, and the team targeted tight ends 124 times during each of his two seasons there. The Raiders probably won't throw a ton of passes to their tight ends, but an increase over last year's total of 61 targets could be in order. Myers appears to have a firm grasp on the starting job and would likely be the main beneficiary if Knapp decides to increase the tight ends' role in the passing game.

Myers will start the season at the top of the Raiders' tight end depth chart.

Analysis: Myers caught a total of 16 passes in 16 games last season, accruing 151 yards and no touchdowns. He'll have e chance to help fill the void created by the departure of Kevin Boss, but he'll need to put up some production in his (presumably) expanded before he's worth targeting in fantasy.
