Jakobi Meyers News
Saturday, October 3, 11:24 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is trending up in fantasy football. After catching just three passes through the first two weeks, Meyers exploded with seven catches, 64 yards, and one touchdown last Sunday against his old team, the New England Patriots. Parker Washington is still the top Jaguars receiver in fantasy football, but Meyers' big performance in Week 3 has cemented him as a strong WR3/flex option going forward. Meyers ranks first in the NFL in target separation against man coverage this year, and he also ranks first in quarterback rating when targeted. The underlying metrics suggest that Meyers should have a much bigger role than he has occupied this season, so we don't think that his big Week 3 was any sort of fluke. This week, he'll also benefit from a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, whose pass defense has been nothing special. Cincinnati ranks near the middle of the league with the 15th-fewest fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2026.

Jameson Williams News
Friday, October 2, 5:29 PM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has not quite gotten going in the early part of the 2026 season, recording 10 catches for 127 yards and zero touchdowns on 17 targets across three games. The 25-year-old has taken a back seat in his team's passing game so far, ranking fourth on the Lions in targets behind wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and tight end Sam LaPorta. As long as all of Detroit's main pass-catchers stay healthy, Williams may have trouble providing fantasy managers with consistent production. Still, Williams' big-play ability makes him a threat to go off in any given week. Week 4 might be a decent time for fantasy managers to bet on Williams, as he will take on the Carolina Panthers. Carolina has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.1) in the NFL through three weeks, but they also placed starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (quad) and Mike Jackson (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. In a relatively favorable matchup on paper, Williams profiles as a high-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 4.
