Jakobi Meyers has Become Jacksonville's WR1

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was an excellent acquisition by the Jags at this year's trade deadline, as he's become their No. 1 wideout. In the last five weeks, Meyers is the WR12 in half-PPR scoring with 24 catches on 35 targets for 314 yards and three touchdowns. The 29-year-old broke a three-game touchdown streak in Sunday's blowout victory over the New York Jets, but he still had a healthy five catches on seven targets for 71 yards. The week prior in the big win over the Indianapolis Colts, Meyers had double-digit targets for the third time all year and the first time since being traded from the Raiders to the Jaguars. Meyers has helped unlock Jacksonville's offense in the second half of the season. He went from averaging 50.3 yards per game and 7.2 yards per target in seven contests with the Raiders to 59.2 yards per game and 9.3 yards per target in six games with the Jags. Meyers will have a big test in Week 16 against the Broncos defense, but he'll still have WR2 upside in fantasy.

Jakobi Meyers Should Continue to Succeed

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has become a popular target in this offense in recent weeks. Meyers currently carries a three-game touchdown streak into the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Last week, Meyers saw 10 targets, which was his most since Week 2. The Jags are clearly leaning on him in the passing game, and that should continue this weekend. Meyers figures to continue having success against an average Jets secondary. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Meyers to offer WR2 upside for this home contest.

Jakobi Meyers Becoming Go-To Option in Jacksonville

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has excelled since being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at this year's trade deadline. Meyers has scored in three straight games and has totaled 22 receptions for 284 yards on 31 targets in five games with the team. The Jaguars are 4-1 since trading for him, with the 29-year-old wideout emerging as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. Brian Thomas Jr.'s return in Week 13 hasn't slowed Meyers down, as he's compiled 16 targets in the past two weeks. Meyers should remain productive on Sunday against a New York Jets defense that has struggled all season. Fantasy managers can confidently fire him up as a solid WR2 option in Week 15.

Jakobi Meyers Poised to Keep Touchdown Streak Going

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is looking to score a touchdown in his fourth straight game with a robust matchup against the Jets. Meyers is fully integrated into the offense following the midseason trade from Las Vegas, clearing an 80% snap count in each of his last three games. The return of Brian Thomas Jr. to the field didn't cut into his role either, as Meyers just logged 10 targets last week. The Jets' opponents don't often log high passing volume, but they allow a top-10 touchdown rate with zero interceptions and a bottom-three QB hit tally. Fantasy managers can be encouraged by the low pressure and a consolidated target share at the top of Jacksonville's food chain, which all comes together to make Meyers a top-20 WR in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings.

Jakobi Meyers Totals Nearly 100 Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers continued his recent success with another solid performance during Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. It was unclear if Meyers' role in the offense could be reduced with Brian Thomas Jr. back in the mix this weekend. Clearly not, Meyers hauled in all six of his targets for 90 yards and scored a touchdown in the win. Over the last three games, Meyers has finished with 50 receiving yards or more and scored two touchdowns. He'll remain fantasy relevant for next week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Jakobi Meyers a Solid Flex Option Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been solid since being acquired by the Jaguars back in Week 10. He's always been a reliable short-field option, making him useful in PPR leagues, but he found the endzone last week to help him produce a good fantasy outing. Over the last two games, he has nine receptions on 12 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. However, with Brian Thomas Jr. returning from injury, it is unclear what Meyers's role will be moving forward. Considering Thomas Jr. is more of a deep threat, there's a possibility it won't change that much. That makes Meyers a solid flex play with limited upside against a weak Titans defense. Especially in PPR leagues, Meyers is a fine play in Week 13.

Jakobi Meyers Offers WR3 Value for Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers should once again have an increased role in the passing game this weekend. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for the third straight week. Last week, Meyers hauled in five of his six targets for 64 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The assumption is that his role will continue to grow as he keeps learning the playbook. Meyers should be able to at least give fantasy managers WR3 value for this upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Jakobi Meyers Ascends to Top Role for Second Consecutive Week

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will operate atop the depth chart for the second week in a row after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Meyers made his Jaguars debut last week after being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at the trade deadline. He caught three passes for 41 yards despite playing a modest 44 percent of the offensive snaps. As Meyers gets more comfortable in his new offense, he'll play more snaps and earn more targets. We should see his involvement trend upward this Sunday, especially with Thomas out of the picture. Meyers continues to rank as a decent WR3/flex play.

Jakobi Meyers a Desperation Flex Option in Week 11

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had three catches for 41 yards in Week 10 versus the Texans. Although he wasn't a safe fantasy option against a tough Houston defense, especially with it being his first game on a new team, fantasy managers were still hoping for more due to the absence of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle). With a poor showing in the rear-view mirror, Meyers will look to get things going in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas is questionable for that one. If he doesn't suit up, Meyers has a chance to see more than the 27 offensive snaps he received in Week 10. Granted, he still wouldn't be an ideal fantasy option. However, the upside is there, so he should at least draw consideration from those with nowhere else to turn.

Jakobi Meyers Set for Impact Role with Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers walks into an immediate opportunity to dominate the target share as they face the Houston Texans in Week 10. Meyers joins a wide receiver room absent of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee). The Jaguars are averaging just 215.3 yards per game through the air, but Meyers' biggest competition for targets this week is 23-year-old Parker Washington. Trevor Lawrence and the offense face a tough test against a Texans defense that is allowing just 177.5 passing yards per game and ranks fourth with nine interceptions on the year. Meyers is a must-start option this week, as Lawrence tests out his new weapon on day one.

Jaguars Viewing Jakobi Meyers as a Long-Term Piece?

Jaguars reporter Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union said on a recent radio appearance that the price the team paid to acquire wide receiver Jakobi Meyers indicates that the team views him as more than just a rental. Jacksonville traded fourth and sixth-round draft picks to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Meyers on Tuesday. Meyers will provide immediate aid to a Jaguars wide receiver room that will be without Travis Hunter (knee) for at least three more games and could be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Dyami Brown (concussion) in Week 10. Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas this season. If O'Halloran is correct and Jacksonville plans to keep Meyers beyond 2025, his presence could be a slight negative for the dynasty value of Hunter and Thomas Jr.

Jaguars Acquiring Jakobi Meyers

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for fourth and sixth-round draft picks, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Meyers has recorded 33 receptions for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas so far this season. He'll provide a much-needed talent infusion to the Jaguars' wide receiver room, which lost Travis Hunter (knee) to Injured Reserve before Week 9 and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) to an ankle injury during their Week 9 win. Meyers should slot in as either the WR1 or WR2 in Jacksonville, pending the health status of Thomas Jr. Meyers seemingly fell out of favor in recent weeks in Las Vegas, as he has not recorded more than four catches or 39 receiving yards in a game since Week 2. The 28-year-old was vocal about his desire to be traded away from the Raiders, so he may be rejuvenated by a fresh start in Jacksonville.

Raiders "Set a High Price" on Jakobi Meyers

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Las Vegas Raiders have "set a high price" on wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. It's no secret that the wideout wants to be traded. As expected, several teams have inquired about his availability in the trade market, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills seemingly the clubs with the most interest. It's unknown exactly what the Raiders are looking for in return. However, it appears there's still a chance he could be moved before the trade deadline. Meyers was targeted 22 times in the first two games of the 2025 campaign. Since then, he's seen 23 targets in his last four appearances while missing the Week 7 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. All things considered, Meyers may actually benefit from a change of scenery, considering Geno Smith has struggled.

Jakobi Meyers Leads Team in Targets, Despite Trade Demands

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is an interesting flex play heading into Week 9 despite looming trade rumors. Meyers has turned 43 targets into 29 receptions for 329 yards despite missing the team's Week 7 matchup with the Chiefs. The disgruntled receiver offers flex upside this week as the Raiders take on a banged-up Jaguars secondary. Meyers has one last game before the trade deadline, and could send a message to head coaches across the league with a big game Sunday. Look for the team to keep Meyers involved early, as the team tries to maximize their return on a potential deal on Tuesday.

Bills Interested in Acquiring Jakobi Meyers?

The Buffalo Bills are one of the teams with interest in acquiring current Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers ahead of the NFL's November 4 trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Diana Russini. Russini notes that Las Vegas has "set a high price" on Meyers. Across six games this season, the 28-year-old has recorded 29 catches for 329 yards on 43 targets. Meyers has also publicly expressed his desire to be traded as he plays out the final season of his current contract. A new home may help rejuvenate Meyers, who currently profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3. In Buffalo, he would likely join wideout Khalil Shakir as one of the top targets for Bills quarterback Josh Allen. If Meyers is eventually moved, wide receivers Tre Tucker and Jack Bech are the most likely candidates to see their roles in the Raiders offense expand.

Raiders Haven't Found a Trade Partner for Jakobi Meyers

The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to find a trade partner for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said that he "wouldn't give up hope on this one just yet." The deadline for the Raiders to trade Meyers is next Tuesday, so they still have a bit of time to work something out with a contending NFL team looking to bolster their receiving corps. The Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been the teams most connected to the WR market in recent weeks. Meyers, who is having a disappointing 2025 campaign while working with quarterback Geno Smith, requested a trade early in the season and said recently that he's still open to being dealt. Vegas' recent acquisition of veteran Tyler Lockett gives them extra depth if they end up trading Meyers out of town, although Lockett still probably wouldn't have much fantasy appeal in that scenario.

Jakobi Meyers Gets Through Full Practice Session

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Meyers sat out of the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee issue. He appears to be ready to go in Week 9 after resting up during the bye week. Meyers has been a hot name on the trade market recently, but the Raiders have stated they want a strong return for the 28-year-old wideout. Meyers hasn't exactly impressed recently with four receptions or less in each of his last four games. Fantasy managers should consider Meyers a possible WR3 for the upcoming Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Steelers the Favorites to Land Jakobi Meyers?

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that teams he's talked to think that Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers possibly has the best chance of being dealt among available wide receivers at this year's trade deadline. The Raiders continue to receive interest in the seven-year veteran, and Fowler believes that the Raiders want a strong draft pick in return. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and Buffalo Bills are believed to be in the receiver market. Fowler predicts that if Meyers is moved before Tuesday's deadline, he will end up with the Steelers, who are seeking an upgrade behind WR1 DK Metcalf. The Raiders are clearly in a transitional phase, and Meyers has made it clear he wants out of Sin City. The Raiders just signed veteran Tyler Lockett, too, which would soften the blow of trading away Meyers. The 28-year-old has struggled with quarterback Geno Smith running the offense, catching only 29 passes for 329 yards and no touchdowns in 2025, so perhaps a change of scenery can get him going.

Multiple Teams Interested in Trading for Jakobi Meyers

Multiple NFL teams have "shown interest" in trading for Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who is in the final year of his contract and has publicly said he still wants to be traded, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. However, teams have "had a hard time getting a clear read on whether Las Vegas is truly willing to move him." The belief is that it would take at least "a Day 2 pick" for the Raiders to even consider moving him. The 28-year-old missed the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to knee and toe injuries, but he's expected to be ready to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 after a bye in Week 8. A change of scenery might be what Meyers needs to get going, as he has a 29-329-0 line through six games in 2025 while working with quarterback Geno Smith. If Meyers is traded, Tre Tucker and rookies Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech would start in three-wide sets for the Raiders.

Raiders Want Strong Value in Return for Jakobi Meyers

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers hasn't been quiet about wanting to be traded. Despite that, the Raiders aren't going to let Meyers go for free. The organization said they're only willing to trade Meyers if they get strong value in return. Coming into Week 8, Meyers has 29 receptions with 329 receiving yards and no touchdowns. The 28-year-old hauled in a career-high 87 receptions last season, but isn't having the same success. The Raiders offense is struggling and Meyers could certainly benefit from a move elsewhere. We'll see if any organization is willing to pay the right price to acquire the 28-year-old.
