Jakobi Meyers
Meyers is a steady, target-earning secondary receiver in Jacksonville's offense. His usage has risen recently, and his ceiling depends on how the Brian Thomas Jr. situation plays out.
Role
FantasySharks (Week 8 column) says he has played at least 75 percent of offensive snaps in each of the last five games. Statchasers (about 9 days old) has him at 15.4% team target share on the season and 19.8% over the last four games, with 4.7 targets per game on the season and 6.3 over the last four. Sunday's 10 targets were a season high (FanDuel). Competition is Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington and Travis Hunter. Statchasers also lists a CJ Williams behind him, but I did not read the Jaguars' own depth chart.
FantasySharks calls him a reliable target who should be picked up in leagues of 12 or more teams. FanDuel points to his established target-earning ability and a favorable stretch beginning with Indianapolis. SI notes that rumors of Jacksonville being open to trading Brian Thomas Jr. could open more work for him.
The preseason outlook was that his ceiling is capped by a crowded receiver room. Brian Thomas Jr. is the higher-upside piece, and Washington's strong camp pushed some analysts to see Meyers as the third option. His season target share (15.4% to 15.6%) is the weakest part of his profile. FanDuel calls him not the flashiest claim, more useful depth.
Where analysts split
The open question is whether his recent jump to about 6 targets per game lasts. It depends on whether Brian Thomas Jr. is traded (SI says rumors exist, but I found no confirmation) and whether Washington is healthy. Preseason analysts saw him as a WR3 with capped volume, while the Week 8 columns see him as a rising, reliable target. I found no source with a firm resolution.
