Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Jakobi Meyers

Thursday, October 30, 11:46 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins got everyone's hopes up after finding the end zone in each of the first two games of the season. Since then, he's only received more than two targets once and hasn't caught a touchdown pass either. To make things even tougher on fantasy managers wanting to start Hopkins, the Miami Dolphins are ranked as the toughest defense against opposing receivers, only allowing 25.84 fantasy points per game to the whole receiver group. Fantasy managers will want to look for other options outside of Hopkins if possible.

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.
