Jakobi Meyers Barely Seeing the Ball in Jacksonville
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been on the field plenty, but the targets have almost vanished. Meyers caught both of his looks for 40 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, then saw only one target against Denver and turned it into a 28-yard catch. He still played 54 snaps and ran a team-high 29 routes in that loss. Trevor Lawrence just kept going elsewhere, with Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. combining for 20 targets. That is a rough change for Meyers after he averaged nearly seven targets per game in nine appearances with Jacksonville last season, catching 42 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns. The thumb injury is still being managed, but Meyers has not missed a game because of it. RotoBaller has him at WR54 for Week 3 against New England. The routes are keeping him on the fantasy radar for now, but three targets in two games is nowhere near enough to trust in a lineup.

Jakobi Meyers a Solid PPR Flex Option in Week 2
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was limited at practice all week but is good to go against the Denver Broncos in Week 2. The Jaguars' passing attack will look to continue its stellar play stemming from last season against a defense with a strong reputation. However, the Kansas City Chiefs gashed the Broncos last week in a 31-10 victory, and the Jaguars scored 34 points on the Broncos in Denver just last season. Those signs point to what could be another great offensive outing, even in a much harder matchup than the Cleveland Browns from Week 1. Meyers doesn't have the upside of a Brian Thomas Jr. or Parker Washington, but he does have a decent floor, especially in PPR leagues. It is also promising that Meyers led Jaguars receivers in Week 1 snaps, although Thomas Jr. did miss some time in the first half with a shoulder injury. The Jaguars have a crowded room of pass catchers, but the offense does spread the ball around, meaning Meyers should be viewed as a flex option with a limited ceiling against the Broncos.

Jakobi Meyers Will Play in Week 2 in Denver
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was limited in practice all week, but he does not carry an injury designation on Friday's final injury report and will play in Week 2 on Sunday in Denver against the Broncos, per The Florida Times-Union's Ryan O'Halloran. Meyers, who was a bit of a forgotten man during the summer in training camp, caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns. The 29-year-old dealt with a thumb injury late in training camp, but it was nothing serious, and he was able to play in the season opener. Now that he is officially cleared for Week 2, Meyer should be considered a WR3/4 in his second game of the 2026 season as he competes for targets with Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. In last year's 34-20 win over the Broncos in Denver in Week 16, Meyers caught four of his eight targets for 45 yards.

Jakobi Meyers Puts in Another Limited Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Meyers was dealing with a thumb injury going into the season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns, but he managed to suit up on Sunday and played a team-high 65% of the offensive snaps among the team's crowded receiving corps while hauling in both of his targets for 40 yards and his first touchdown of the 2026 season. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent from North Carolina State will most likely upgrade to a full practice on Friday before suiting up for a difficult Week 2 matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) has also been limited in two practices this week, but he should follow the same path as Meyers and be active on Sunday. In Jacksonville's crowded WR room, Meyers should be considered a boom/bust WR4/flex against Denver this weekend.

Jakobi Meyers Limited With Thumb Injury on Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a thumb injury. It is an injury Meyers has been dealing with since late in the preseason, but it did not stop him from playing in the Week 1 season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The 29-year-old only caught two passes in the 34-10 blowout win, but he made them count, going for 40 yards and a touchdown to begin the 2026 season. Meyers will almost certainly upgrade to a full practice in the next couple of days and be good to go for a Week 2 tilt on the road against the Denver Broncos. As long as he is healthy, Meyers will remain a key piece of the Jaguars' passing attack, although volume could be an issue all year while sharing targets with both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). Meyers will once again be in more of the WR4/flex range for Week 2 against the Broncos.

Jakobi Meyers a Safe Waiver Target Wherever Still Available
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns, and while the logjam of talent in the team's receiver room will continue to make opportunities more difficult to come by, the eighth-year veteran is still a must-roster player and a receiver to target on waiver wires wherever he's still available. Among Jaguars pass-catchers, only Parker Washington saw more than three targets and appears to have earned the number one role, but Meyers should still provide a usable floor in more competitive games and offers obvious injury insurance with multiple paths to an expanded role. Meyers is RotoBaller's WR47 for Week 2 in a tougher matchup against the Broncos.

Jakobi Meyers Finds End Zone in Easy Week 1 Win
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers scored a touchdown in a 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was one of four pass catchers to find the end zone from a Trevor Lawrence pass. Meyers was outshined by Parker Washington, but it's good to see he was involved in what will be a crowded receiver room for the Jaguars. He had just two targets, but made the most of them with a 32-yard touchdown. Meyers is known for not catching many touchdowns, so it's nice to see him catch one in the first game of the season. The veteran receiver may be relied on more in a tough Week 2 matchup with the Denver Broncos.

Jakobi Meyers Profiles as a Solid Flex Option in PPR Leagues
Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Jakobi Meyers was a reliable fantasy asset after the team acquired him last season. He was outshone by Parker Washington and received less attention than the struggling Brian Thomas Jr., but Meyers has been reliable throughout his career. Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns should make for an interesting start to the season for the Jaguars offense, given the Browns should have at least a solid defense still without Myles Garrett. However, it is uncertain which of the aforementioned receivers will thrive the most, so they all should be viewed as flex options to start the season. The veteran receiver arguably has the lowest ceiling but the highest floor of the three, but that will only be confirmed once the season starts. From Weeks 12 through 18, Meyers averaged a high floor of 13.0 PPR points per game but only surpassed the 20.0-point mark once. For now, Meyers should be viewed as a solid flex option, especially in PPR leagues with three WR spots in Week 1.

Jakobi Meyers In the Clear to Play in Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) did not have an injury designation on Friday and has been cleared to play in the Week 1 season opener this Sunday against the visiting Cleveland Browns. Meyers was limited in practice all week, but he will play this weekend and should be considered a WR4/flex option in fantasy football lineups. The 29-year-old saw his fantasy stock fall this summer with both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. getting all the buzz in training camp practices. The 29-year-old was a midseason acquisition in 2025 and came over from the Las Vegas Raiders to help take head coach Liam Coen's offense to the next level. The former undrafted free agent from North Carolina State caught 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in his nine regular-season games with the Jags and had a 75-835-3 line overall. Meyers is still an important part of Jacksonville's offense, but he is flying under the radar right now as he enters his first full year in Duvall.

Jakobi Meyers in Non-Contact Jersey Again on Thursday
For the second straight day in practice on Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was seen wearing a non-contact jersey, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. It looks like Meyers will be a limited participant for the second straight day as the Jaguars prepare to face the Cleveland Browns in the Week 1 season opener on Sunday, but Meyers said himself that he will play this weekend despite dealing with a thumb injury. If Meyers can upgrade to a full practice on Friday, he could be removed from the final injury report altogether. Most likely, Meyers will be active against Cleveland on Sunday, where he will be competing for targets with Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. The 29-year-old caught 75 passes for 835 yards and three touchdowns in 16 total regular-season games last year with the Jags and Las Vegas Raiders, but his fantasy stock has fallen going into 2026 due to the emergence of Washington as quarterback Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. If Meyers plays on Sunday, fantasy managers should consider him a WR4/flex option.

Jakobi Meyers Says he Will Play in Week 1
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) said that he will be playing on Sunday in the Week 1 regular-season opener versus the visiting Cleveland Browns, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. The Florida Times-Union's Ryan O'Halloran reported that Meyers was wearing a non-contact jersey during the team's full-padded practice on Wednesday. Meyers could be listed as a limited practice participant on the team's first official practice report of 2026, but it looks like he is fine for the season opener this weekend against the Browns. The 29-year-old was acquired midseason last year from the Las Vegas Raiders and helped unlock head coach Liam Coen's offense. He caught 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in his nine games with the Jags in 2025, although Parker Washington's emergence late last year and this summer has caused Meyers' fantasy stock to tumble going into 2026. Meyers will still be a key player in Jacksonville's offense, but he should be treated as more of a WR4/flex in a crowded WR corps that also includes Brian Thomas Jr.

Jakobi Meyers Will Practice on Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) will practice Wednesday as he prepares for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. Meyers was seen wearing a brace on his right hand, which head coach Liam Coen described as "a jammed hand." With him practicing more than a week before Week 1, he should be good to go. After being traded from Las Vegas to the Jaguars last season, Meyers hauled in 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, averaging just under 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With the emergence of Parker Washington and the talented first-round receiver Brian Thomas Jr. still in the mix, Meyers faces a difficult path to high volume in 2026. However, if his ADP has declined significantly because of his injury, he's a good late-round value in fantasy drafts.

Jakobi Meyers Misses Practice on Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) did not practice with the rest of the team in training camp on Sunday, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Head coach Liam Coen said on Friday that Meyers jammed his right hand during a joint practice with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, and he was seen wearing a brace while sitting on the sidelines on Friday. The 29-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but he did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers and could continue to miss practice in the coming week before the preseason finale on Friday, Aug. 28, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We would be surprised if Meyers' hand injury prevents him from being ready for Week 1 of the regular-season opener in early September. Both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. have been in the headlines for standout training camps, which has pushed Meyers' fantasy stock down going into his first full year in Jacksonville. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 52 wideout after he caught 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games last year with the Jags after he was acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at midseason.

Jakobi Meyers Right Hand in Brace
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) wore a brace on his right hand after jamming it in practice. Head coach Liam Coen said the veteran receiver "jammed it" at some point during the week and did not specify whether he would miss time. Meyers was traded to the Jaguars during the 2025 season and had success following the move, hauling in 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, averaging just under 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Despite a solid finish to last season, Meyers still finds himself in a crowded room, with Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter all expected to have roles in Coen's offense. If Meyers does end up missing time with this injury, all three receivers will have expanded roles in his absence.

Jakobi Meyers Wearing Brace on Right Hand
According to Juston W. Lewis, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) was seen wearing some sort of brace on his right hand. Meyers is sitting out during the second preseason game on Friday night, but was spotted wearing a brace on the sideline pre-game. There isn't anything more on the situation, so there is no need for fantasy managers to panic right now. This could be a minor issue that is completely gone by the end of the weekend. The expectation is that Meyers is going to be the No. 2 wideout in this offense. It's worth noting that Parker Washington is having a fantastic camp and could push Meyers for that spot soon. There should be more updates on Meyers' hand in the coming days.

Jakobi Meyers' Redraft Ceiling Is Getting Harder to Trust
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was terrific after arriving last season, catching 42 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets in nine games. He hasn't suddenly lost his job. Meyers is still listed as a starter, and he caught two red-zone touchdowns from Trevor Lawrence during the Aug. 13 joint practice with New Orleans. The problem is everything happening around him. Parker Washington has been one of Jacksonville's best players in camp, Brian Thomas Jr. is healthy again, and Travis Hunter is back taking offensive reps. That's a lot of competition for a player whose fantasy value has usually come from steady target volume. RotoBaller has Meyers at WR45 in its Aug. 18 PPR rankings, which feels a lot more reasonable than expecting last year's post-trade pace to carry over untouched. Meyers should still have useful PPR weeks and Lawrence clearly has a role for him. The ceiling just looks a little shakier now with this many receivers pushing for the football.

Jakobi Meyers Could Fall to WR3 in Jacksonville
With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. standing out in training camp, veteran Jakobi Meyers could find himself the third option in the passing game. After being traded to the Jaguars from the Las Vegas Raiders last season, Meyers hauled in 42 of 61 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games. However, toward the end of the season, Meyers struggled, totaling just 140 yards and no touchdowns in the team's last four games, while Washington dominated and Thomas was solid. With Washington labeled "the star of training camp" and Thomas "the best he's ever looked," Meyers could be phased out of the team's passing attack. Ranked WR38 on RotoBaller's positional rankings, Meyers seems like too high a draft capital to trust in 2026.

Jakobi Meyers is Undervalued by Current Redraft ADP
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is entering his first full season in Jacksonville in 2026. The 29-year-old was highly productive for the Jaguars last season, recording 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games. From Week 10 onwards, Meyers ranked as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring. In 2026, Jacksonville could get healthier seasons out of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way player Travis Hunter (knee), which might limit Meyers' target opportunities. However, Hunter's involvement on offense remains a question mark, and Thomas Jr. has yet to prove established chemistry with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville committed to Meyers with a three-year, $60 million contract extension, so the team clearly views him as an important piece of its offense. At his current redraft ADP of WR42, Meyers is a high-floor sleeper to target.

Has Jakobi Meyers' Redraft Stock Fallen Too Far?
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recorded 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games with the Jags. Meyers was a major fantasy asset following the trade, checking in as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring from Week 10 onwards. Entering his first full season with Jacksonville in 2026, Meyers could see more competition for targets. Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. could be in line for a bounce-back season after an injury-marred 2025, and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) had already suffered his season-ending knee injury by the time Jacksonville acquired Meyers. Still, Meyers may be the most reliable option available for Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. With a current redraft ADP of WR47, Meyers now projects as a value pick for fantasy managers.

Should Dynasty Managers Sell High on Jakobi Meyers Ahead of 2026?
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recorded 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games with the Jags. Meyers also signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with Jacksonville, cementing him as part of the team's plans going forward. Meyers has quietly been a highly consistent wide receiver in recent years, posting five consecutive seasons with at least 67 catches and 804 receiving yards. However, he now finds himself part of a crowded wide receiver depth chart in Jacksonville that also includes Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Meyers may be the highest-floor option of that bunch, but he also likely offers the most limited ceiling. If Thomas Jr. and Hunter can put together healthier seasons in 2026, Meyers may see his role shrink. As he enters his age-30 season, Meyers could profile as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers.
