Meyers finished as the Jaguars' second-leading receiver in their 34-10 blowout win over the Browns, posting 2 catches for 40 yards and 1 TD. He scored in the third quarter to make it 31-0, though the source notes he was not a game-changer in the lopsided contest. His role as the team's second receiver is established, but the blowout nature of the game limits the fantasy relevance of the performance.

Meyers saw only two targets but one was a TD and he led the team with 76% route share. Prior to the fourth quarter, Meyers took 90% of snaps in 11 personnel and 80% in 12 personnel, leading Jacksonville WRs in both marks. The source says Meyers figures to see far more targets in the coming weeks, especially if Thomas' shoulder injury proves limiting.

Jakobi Meyers' 2025 contract extension with Jacksonville serves as a precedent for the Jaguars' willingness to take organizational risk on players based on limited sample sizes of quality play; the source groups Meyers with Cole Van Lanen as examples of the Jaguars recently making similarly notable risks in signing both players to 2025 extensions following small sample sizes, providing context for whether the team's approach to Washington's extension represents a consistent organizational philosophy or an outlier.

Meyers is working the middle more often in the Jaguars offense, contributing to Brian Thomas Jr.'s role compression. If Travis Hunter plays any WR, it will likely come at the expense of Meyers and BTJ, as Washington can play inside or out.
