Jakobi Meyers News
Thursday, September 17, 2:57 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Meyers was dealing with a thumb injury going into the season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns, but he managed to suit up on Sunday and played a team-high 65% of the offensive snaps among the team's crowded receiving corps while hauling in both of his targets for 40 yards and his first touchdown of the 2026 season. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent from North Carolina State will most likely upgrade to a full practice on Friday before suiting up for a difficult Week 2 matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) has also been limited in two practices this week, but he should follow the same path as Meyers and be active on Sunday. In Jacksonville's crowded WR room, Meyers should be considered a boom/bust WR4/flex against Denver this weekend.

Jauan Jennings News
Thursday, September 17, 6:40 PM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (personal) belongs on the bench or waiver wire in all fantasy football leagues. Jennings played less than 50% of the snaps in Week 1, finishing with one target and zero receptions. It was a very disappointing appearance for the veteran receiver with his new team, especially after back-to-back top-33 fantasy finishes in San Francisco. This reduced role certainly didn't come out of nowhere, though. Jennings clearly entered the season as the No. 3 receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, making it difficult for him to get onto the fantasy radar as long as those two pass-catchers stay healthy. To further complicate matters, Jennings missed practice Thursday due to a personal issue. Regardless of whether he suits up in Week 2 against the Bears, Jennings can be avoided in all leagues. He ranks as the WR79 in RotoBaller's Week 2 fantasy football rankings.
