Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Jakobi Meyers

Tuesday, October 28, 5:33 PM

Free-agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson is working out with the New York Giants on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Johnson was with the Cleveland Browns during training camp and the preseason, but he was cut before the start of the regular season and hasn't joined a team since. The 29-year-old former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 out of Toledo spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans last year, catching a combined 33 passes on 67 targets for 375 yards and three touchdowns. The vast majority of his production came in Carolina, as he caught just three passes for 18 yards in five games with Baltimore and Houston to close out the year. It's been a notable fall for Johnson over the last year-plus, and if he were to sign with the G-Men, he'd merely be battling for a chance to join the active 53-man roster as receiver depth.

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.
