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.

Jakobi Meyers was traded by the Las Vegas Raiders to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 deadline in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. Meyers was 28 years old at the time and coming off the best season of his career, recording 87 receptions for 1,027 yards in 2024. He had also developed a reputation as one of the league's more dependable possession receivers, consistently producing between 700 and 900 yards throughout his career. However, he was entering the final months of his contract and had requested a trade from Las Vegas earlier that year.

Meyers is running nearly every route alongside Kirk and has been given 37 dig/in routes and 25 curls or hitches this season; digs and slants make up 28% of his routes, and 22% come off play-action. He's accounted for 17.3% of the Jaguars' first-read targets in his games, even though he hasn't drawn as many targets overall as expected from those routes. Receiver Score is buying him in leagues where he can be acquired for almost nothing—he's running high-value routes in a good offense—the better days will come. He's a WR3.

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.

if the Jaguars had an injury to Jakobi Meyers, do you think they’d feel Ok knowing BTJ can step in? Or do you think they’d panic knowing he just hasn’t played well for 2 years? I can’t wrap my brain around this at all. If there’s an injury they’re playing Josh Cameron, man.
