Jakobi Meyers looked like a WR1

There has been much speculation within Raider Nation about whether or not Meyers is fit to be a true No. 1 wide receiver for the Silver and Black.

Sunday's game should serve as a reminder that Meyers is fully capable of shouldering this load and putting up big numbers, even against a stout defense like the Broncos'.

Meyers finished with 10 catches for 121 yards against the Broncos, both of which were his season highs.

This marks his second 100-yard game in the last three contests, as he put together an eight-catch, 105-yard performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.

While Las Vegas may still benefit from adding a high-level receiver into the mix, Meyers has shown that he is up to the task.

Not many would be upset with adding a young receiver in the draft or adding an established player like Tee Higgins in free agency, but fans can rest assured that if the position is not addressed in a major way this offseason, Meyers' ability could be enough when paired with Brock Bowers.
