Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Jaylen Waddle

Tuesday, November 4, 11:43 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for fourth and sixth-round draft picks, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Meyers has recorded 33 receptions for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas so far this season. He'll provide a much-needed talent infusion to the Jaguars' wide receiver room, which lost Travis Hunter (knee) to Injured Reserve before Week 9 and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) to an ankle injury during their Week 9 win. Meyers should slot in as either the WR1 or WR2 in Jacksonville, pending the health status of Thomas Jr. Meyers seemingly fell out of favor in recent weeks in Las Vegas, as he has not recorded more than four catches or 39 receiving yards in a game since Week 2. The 28-year-old was vocal about his desire to be traded away from the Raiders, so he may be rejuvenated by a fresh start in Jacksonville.

The Denver Broncos were among the teams that explored a trade for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. But in the end, the Dolphins' asking price was too "steep" for Denver. Miami also received calls on pass-rusher Bradley Chubb, but they decided to hang onto both players at Tuesday's trade deadline. Linebacker Jaelan Phillips was shipped to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday in exchange for a third-round draft pick next year. Denver ultimately stood pat at the deadline and will move forward in 2025 with receivers Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion), and rookie Pat Bryant as their top wideouts. The 26-year-old Waddle will probably keep a higher fantasy ceiling the rest of the way this year in Miami as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's top pass-game target with Tyreek Hill (knee) done for the year. Waddle has had at least 80 receiving yards in four of the last five games and two touchdowns during that span.
