Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Jakobi Meyers

Wednesday, May 6, 6:00 AM

Following a 2025 mid-season trade that brought him to Jacksonville, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was a key piece in unlocking quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offense as a whole. After playing on only 27 total snaps in his first game with the team, Meyers averaged seven targets and 4.9 receptions from Week 11 onward, finishing as the fantasy WR17 across that stretch. With a full offseason in Liam Coen's offense, Meyers is expected to take another step forward, but the crowded receiver room in Jacksonville could ultimately limit his ceiling. Even with Travis Hunter reported to see limited offensive reps in year two, Meyers still shares a room with 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, who finished as the WR11 over the final 10 weeks of the year. Heading into his eighth season, the 29-year-old Meyers is RotoBaller's dynasty WR40, which could be viewed as a slight mispricing with the 24-year-old Washington slotting in several spots below him at WR49 and Thomas only up at WR27, just two seasons removed from his WR4 finish as a rookie. For contending dynasty managers, Meyers is a solid hold who can provide reliable weekly fantasy floors, but for those seeking more upside, Thomas and Washington may represent the more attractive swings at their currently depressed values.
