Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is looking to score a touchdown in his fourth straight game with a robust matchup against the Jets. Meyers is fully integrated into the offense following the midseason trade from Las Vegas, clearing an 80% snap count in each of his last three games. The return of Brian Thomas Jr. to the field didn't cut into his role either, as Meyers just logged 10 targets last week. The Jets' opponents don't often log high passing volume, but they allow a top-10 touchdown rate with zero interceptions and a bottom-three QB hit tally. Fantasy managers can be encouraged by the low pressure and a consolidated target share at the top of Jacksonville's food chain, which all comes together to make Meyers a top-20 WR in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is poised to rebuild some fantasy football trust in this final month after an arduous campaign filled with drops and injuries. Last week, BTJ gained ground with three catches for 87 yards on six targets that compiled a whopping 148 air yards. Both he and Jakobi Meyers led the way with 29 routes run, with Tim Patrick playing the No. 3 role that Parker Washington (hip) had vacated. With Trevor Lawrence pushing the ball more aggressively over the last month and Jacksonville in a position to snowball the score against the Jets, Thomas could finally smash if those air yards are translated into the box score. His spot around WR30 in our ranks is due to the roller-coaster ride we've endured to date, but those needing to aim for high-risk, high-reward output should deploy Thomas.
