Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or DeMario Douglas

Wednesday, November 5, 11:49 AM

Jaguars reporter Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union said on a recent radio appearance that the price the team paid to acquire wide receiver Jakobi Meyers indicates that the team views him as more than just a rental. Jacksonville traded fourth and sixth-round draft picks to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Meyers on Tuesday. Meyers will provide immediate aid to a Jaguars wide receiver room that will be without Travis Hunter (knee) for at least three more games and could be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Dyami Brown (concussion) in Week 10. Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas this season. If O'Halloran is correct and Jacksonville plans to keep Meyers beyond 2025, his presence could be a slight negative for the dynasty value of Hunter and Thomas Jr.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas had his best game of 2025 in Week 9 against the Falcons, posting a season-high four catches for his first 100-yard performance in his three years with the Patriots. Douglas stepped up in place of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who exited early with an injury, and he could stay in an expanded role if Boutte is out for Week 10 against the Bucs. Douglas usually works out of the slot, but if Mack Hollins replaces Boutte on the perimeter, more of Drake Maye's attention could go to Douglas. He remains a boom-or-bust play, but he's worth a look on the waiver wire in deep leagues since the Patriots' offense has been so productive in the last few weeks as Maye continues to grow and excel.
