Jakobi Meyers News
Monday, October 26, 7:03 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers makes a compelling case for a Week 8 waiver claim in 10-team and deeper PPR leagues after drawing more targets against the Houston Texans in Week 6 than in his previous two games combined. Meyers caught five of 10 targets for a season-high 83 yards in the 34-31 loss after totaling five catches for 70 yards on seven targets in Weeks 4 and 5. His expanded involvement offers flex potential following Jacksonville's bye, although he has been held to 40 receiving yards or fewer in four of six appearances. Meyers has 20 catches for 285 yards and two touchdowns on 28 targets overall. He faces considerable competition for Trevor Lawrence's attention, with Parker Washington drawing 11 targets against Houston and Brenton Strange receiving seven. The Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

Adonai Mitchell News
Wednesday, October 28, 5:07 PM
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made his return to the field in Week 7 after missing four games due to a finger injury that required surgery. There was an expectation that he would assert himself back into the offense and make a decent contribution after catching nine passes on a combined 15 targets in his first two games of the season. However, he did not catch any passes on his three targets and only played in 44% of the snaps in the Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins. This performance coincides with Jets first-round rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr.'s reappearance in Week 6 after he suffered an ankle injury in the season opener. Cooper had a snap rate of 64% in Week 7, while also garnering 12 targets in the team's last two games. Mitchell may have spike performances this season, but added competition in the Jets' crowded pass-catching room will make it difficult for him to maintain any fantasy value in redraft leagues.
