Jakobi Meyers Limited With Thumb Injury on Wednesday

Wednesday, September 16, 2:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a thumb injury. It is an injury Meyers has been dealing with since late in the preseason, but it did not stop him from playing in the Week 1 season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The 29-year-old only caught two passes in the 34-10 blowout win, but he made them count, going for 40 yards and a touchdown to begin the 2026 season. Meyers will almost certainly upgrade to a full practice in the next couple of days and be good to go for a Week 2 tilt on the road against the Denver Broncos. As long as he is healthy, Meyers will remain a key piece of the Jaguars' passing attack, although volume could be an issue all year while sharing targets with both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). Meyers will once again be in more of the WR4/flex range for Week 2 against the Broncos.

Amon-Ra St. Brown News

Amon-Ra St. Brown Could Be Set Up for Another High-Volume Game in Week 2

Wednesday, September 16, 4:37 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was one of the key performers in his team's Week 1 win over the New Orleans Saints, recording 10 catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets. While it wasn't St. Brown's most efficient game, he earned five more targets than any other Lions pass-catcher and was heavily involved in Detroit's red zone attack. In Week 2, St. Brown and the Lions will travel to Buffalo to take on a Bills defense that allowed 274 passing yards and two passing touchdowns to the Houston Texans this past Sunday. With the high-powered Bills offense likely to move the ball against the banged-up Lions secondary, Detroit could operate with a pass-heavy game script on Thursday night. The Lions will also be missing three starters on the offensive line, which may lead to plenty of short and intermediate-area targets for St. Brown. The 26-year-old profiles as a high-end WR1 option for fantasy managers in Week 2 against the Bills.
