PositiveUsageOct 31, 2026
Target share should be heavily on Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington with Brian Thomas Jr. on the trade block. Despite the excellent matchup against Indianapolis, rostership won't be high on either player given the potential for a blowout with limited usage in the second half. The lower rostership is a great opportunity in GPPs if Jonathan Taylor can keep it mildly competitive.NegativeProjectionOct 31, 2026
Meyers is the WR37 in fantasy points per game with three top-36 weekly finishes (WR28, WR17, WR27) and a 15.2% target share, 1.85 YPRR, six red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 17.3% first-read share. He has quietly taken a step back and become the third option in the passing game this season behind Parker Washington and Brenton Strange. Indianapolis has the 12th-highest single-high rate (52.1%), and against single-high, Meyers has a 17% TPRR and 2.02 YPRR. The source projects Meyers could easily post a strong flex-worthy stat line this week, but notes it's not an easy matchup as Indianapolis has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target and the ninth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over their last five games. Additionally, Meyers is dealing with ankle and hamstring issues, practiced on a limited basis, and missed Friday's practice, listed as questionable.NegativeProjectionOct 30, 2026

Meyers faces Cam Taylor-Britt (IND CB) in an advantageous matchup listed among the top six fantasy football WR/CB pairings to exploit in Week 8.NegativeProjectionOct 29, 2026
Meyers is the WR37 in fantasy points per game with three top-36 weekly finishes (WR28, WR17, WR27). He carries a 15.2% target share with 1.85 YPRR, six red zone targets, three deep targets, and 17.3% first-read share. He has quietly become the third option in the passing game behind Parker Washington and Brenton Strange. Against Indianapolis's 52.1% single-high rate, Meyers has 17% TPRR and 2.02 YPRR. However, Indianapolis has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target and ninth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers over the last five games, making this not an easy matchup. He could post a strong flex-worthy stat line this week.NegativeValueOct 27, 2026
Trade value of 17.1 in Week 8, down -0.5 from prior week; minimal decline with 7 games remaining on schedule.PositiveValueOct 26, 2026
Jakobi Meyers had 5-83-0 against the Texans on a season-high 10 targets in Week 7. For the season, Meyers has 20-285-2 on 28 targets and was WR36 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring through the first six weeks. He's averaging a solid 10.2 yards per target and 1.85 yards per route run. Although Meyers has a modest 15.2% target share, that percentage could increase in the coming weeks with Brian Thomas Jr. no longer drawing a significant number of targets and rumored to be a trade candidate. Meyers is averaging 2.06 yards per route run and 0.28 targets per route run against man coverage this season, and in Week 8 he faces a Colts defense that's playing man coverage at the sixth-highest rate in the league.NegativeMatchupOct 24, 2026
Drew zero targets when Patrick Surtain shadowed him on 50-90% of his routes this season, demonstrating Surtain's effectiveness at neutralizing Meyers' production.PositiveUsageOct 20, 2026
Meyers rose to 24.4% target share (up from 10.0%) on 10 targets (0.19 per snap), catching 5 of 10 for 83 yards. He played 53 of 71 snaps (75%, down from 85%) with three second-half catches for 65 yards and two goal-line looks.NegativeValueOct 20, 2026
Coming off a 10-target performance, this is the ideal time to sell Meyers for a FLEX-worthy asset like Jordan Addison or Jaylin Noel. Travis Hunter's emergence, plus Parker Washington and Brenton Strange's production, make a path to fantasy relevance difficult for Meyers.PositiveValueOct 20, 2026

Eighth-year veteran now rostered in under 50% of Yahoo leagues; has 20-285-2 on 28 targets this season with 5-83-0 on 10 targets in Week 6 against Texans (season highs in targets and yards); is No. 2 receiver behind Parker Washington ahead of disappointing Brian Thomas; useful depth piece with Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen playcalling despite Jaguars bye this week.NegativeProjectionOct 16, 2026
Meyers receives a C+ start/sit grade for Week 6 against Houston, indicating modest fantasy upside for the matchup.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Meyers is WR46 in fantasy points per game with two top-36 weekly finishes (WR28, WR17). He has a 12.6% target share, 1.66 YPRR, four red zone targets, one deep target, and 15.8% first-read share. Against Houston's 56.5% single high rate, Meyers has only a 10% TPRR with 1.63 YPRR and ranks fifth on the team in TPRR against single high, suggesting volume may not be massive unless the Jags change game plan. However, Houston has allowed the 3rd-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.NegativeUsageOct 13, 2026

Jakobi Meyers is droppable in most leagues; Rico Dowdle would only hold him in deeper leagues given he has the second-most targets among Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers, but in 12-team or smaller leagues, he can be dropped to the waiver wire.PositiveProjectionOct 10, 2026
Jakobi Meyers is WR37 in fantasy points per game with two outings of 12 or more PPR points. He has 14.4% target share, 1.85 YPRR, three red zone targets, one deep target, and 17.7% first-read share overall. Over the last two games, Trevor Lawrence has leaned on Meyers more with 23.1% target share, 2.16 YPRR, and 29.3% first-read share. The source labels him a viable flex this week with the increased usage; Philadelphia ranks 17th in yards per target and 19th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to perimeter wide receivers.PositiveUsageOct 8, 2026

Jakobi Meyers ran 22 routes for the Jaguars in Week 4, the second-most among the team's wideouts behind Parker Washington's 23 routes, indicating he maintains a significant role in the passing game.NegativeProjectionOct 2, 2026
Jakobi Meyers is noted as a quality wideout in the Bengals-Jaguars shootout (51.5-point total), but the source characterizes him as a long shot to crack 100 receiving yards in Week 4, despite the high-total game environment.PositiveInjuryOct 1, 2026
Jakobi Meyers has missed parts of practice every week this season, but this week's thumb designation is nothing new and doesn't affect his availability. He's good to go on a good Jaguars offense, where he's carved out a role as the No. 2 WR.PositiveMatchupOct 1, 2026
Meyers is WR30 in fantasy points per game with two top-30 finishes through three games (WR28, WR14). He has a 13.6% target share, 1.89 YPRR, two red zone targets (two scores), one deep target, and 17.2% first-read share. The source expects DJ Turner to shadow Brian Thomas Jr. but notes uncertainty given Thomas Jr.'s declining role. Turner has shadowed receivers on 53.1-69% of routes and hasn't allowed any to surpass 53 receiving yards in his coverage. Cincinnati has allowed the second-fewest yards per target and fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter receivers. Meyers is downgraded this week due to possible shadow coverage and tough matchup.NegativeMatchupSep 30, 2026
Meyers faces DJ Turner in a challenging matchup listed among the source's notable challenging WR/CB pairings for Week 4.PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
Played 81% of offensive snaps (50/62), tying for the team's highest WR snap share, and caught 7 of a team-high 8 targets (28%) for 64 yards and a touchdown after a near-invisible role in Weeks 1 and 2. Per Next Gen Stats, Meyers now leads the Jaguars in routes (75), and Trevor Lawrence has a 156.3 passer rating when targeting him—the second-highest mark of any QB-WR duo in the league (min. 10 targets). This represents a dramatic emergence in Jacksonville's passing game.PositiveUsageSep 29, 2026

Jakobi Meyers is the WR45 in fantasy points per game and has been an afterthought in Jacksonville's passing attack with only a 5.8% target share, 1.55 YPRR, one end zone target, and 5.3% first-read share. The source states: 'This isn't the matchup to look to him for flex production.' New England has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per target and ninth-fewest yards per target to perimeter wide receivers.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026

Assigned a C+ start/sit grade for Week 2 against Denver, indicating weak recommendation status among wide receivers.NegativeInjurySep 18, 2026
Jakobi Meyers played through injuries in Week 1 and got in limited practices this week. But he is behind receiver Parker Washington in the pecking order, so any injury designation is a setback.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Meyers had a quiet Week 1 with 8.7% target share, 40 receiving yards (2.50 YPRR), one end zone target (one score), and 5.6% first-read share, finishing as WR28. Last year in this matchup, Meyers had 19.4% target share, 45 receiving yards (1.15 YPRR), two red zone targets, one deep target, and 23.8% first-read share. He got more work with Brian Thomas Jr. seeing Patrick Surtain all game; expect that again in Week 2. However, Denver allowed second-fewest yards per target and fewest fantasy points per target to perimeter wide receivers last year, limiting upside.PositiveUsageSep 16, 2026
Meyers' final stat line of 2 targets undersells his role. He actually led all Jacksonville pass-catchers in route participation (79.2%, ahead of even Washington) and ran the deepest routes among the primary options (19.2 aDOT), including an end-zone target—and still turned that light target share into a 32-yard touchdown.NegativeValueSep 15, 2026

In Weeks 13-18 last year with Brian Thomas Jr. back in the lineup, Parker Washington contributing, and Trevor Lawrence playing at a high level, Meyers was the WR28 in fantasy points per game with a 22.6% target share, 26.7% first-read share, 54.7 receiving yards per game, 1.62 yards per route run, and 0.094 first downs per route run. The source expects Meyers to be a solid WR3/flex at times this season, but not in Week 1. When Tyson Campbell and Denzel Ward were on the field together as full-time players, Cleveland's pass defense was elite against perimeter wide receivers, allowing only 1.43 fantasy points per target and 7.24 yards per target (third-lowest in each category over a full season). The source recommends sitting Meyers this week.NegativeProjectionSep 8, 2026

Ninth-round pick profiles as just a guy (JAG) for fantasy despite solid floor in PPR. Must compete with multiple receivers in Jacksonville; Parker Washington is the preferred receiver in this offense. Brian Thomas Jr. set for bounce-back season after multiple injuries.

Jakobi Meyers could be the better receiver on Jacksonville than Brian Thomas Jr., creating uncertainty around Thomas's role and making Thomas's Fantrax ADP of 66th overall less appealing.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026
Meyers rounds out Jacksonville's group as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none option; he is an above-average receiver with modest speed who will command a decent amount of targets, but his upside is greatly capped due to the hype surrounding Washington and a potential bounce-back campaign from Thomas. If either were to sustain an injury, Meyers would vault into the limelight immediately, but as things currently stand, he's a WR4/FLEX option with a middling ceiling.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026

Jakobi Meyers is projected as WR36 (148.4 FPTS) versus ECR WR46, a +10 differential. The source describes Meyers as 'one of fantasy football's most underrated receivers,' noting he quickly became Trevor Lawrence's trusted target after arriving in Jacksonville midseason. Meyers immediately stepped into a major role in Liam Coen's offense and maintained steady production even after Brian Thomas Jr. returned to the lineup. His reliability, route-running, and ability to command targets have made him one of the league's more productive possession receivers over recent seasons. With a full offseason to build chemistry in Jacksonville, the source projects Meyers as a strong value WR3 with a safer weekly floor than most players in his draft range.
