Jakobi Meyers News
Wednesday, May 6, 6:00 AM
Following a 2025 mid-season trade that brought him to Jacksonville, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was a key piece in unlocking quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offense as a whole. After playing on only 27 total snaps in his first game with the team, Meyers averaged seven targets and 4.9 receptions from Week 11 onward, finishing as the fantasy WR17 across that stretch. With a full offseason in Liam Coen's offense, Meyers is expected to take another step forward, but the crowded receiver room in Jacksonville could ultimately limit his ceiling. Even with Travis Hunter reported to see limited offensive reps in year two, Meyers still shares a room with 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, who finished as the WR11 over the final 10 weeks of the year. Heading into his eighth season, the 29-year-old Meyers is RotoBaller's dynasty WR40, which could be viewed as a slight mispricing with the 24-year-old Washington slotting in several spots below him at WR49 and Thomas only up at WR27, just two seasons removed from his WR4 finish as a rookie. For contending dynasty managers, Meyers is a solid hold who can provide reliable weekly fantasy floors, but for those seeking more upside, Thomas and Washington may represent the more attractive swings at their currently depressed values.

Khalil Shakir News
Thursday, May 7, 7:29 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir was a relatively consistent fantasy contributor in 2025, scoring 9.5+ fantasy points (PPR) in 11 of his 16 games. Between James Cook and Josh Allen, the Bills were a run-heavy offense last year, but when they did throw the ball, Shakir emerged as a dependable target. He caught 72 passes for 719 yards and four touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR36, which was the best mark of his career. While it was encouraging him to turn in a solid season in such a prominent offense, dynasty managers should be a little concerned about a certain offseason move. Buffalo struck a deal to acquire DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears, bumping Shakir down to No. 2 on the depth chart. In many offenses, Shakir as a No. 2 would still be a very strong WR3/flex, but there aren't a ton of targets to go around in Buffalo. Josh Allen threw the ball just 460 times last year, which was his lowest pass attempt total since his rookie season in 2018. If that trend persists in 2026 and beyond, Moore could be the only Bills receiver with fantasy relevance every week. That drops Shakir to being more of a matchup-based play. The latest expert insight reflects that narrative, as Shakir has fallen to WR56 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. Managers can try to trade him away this offseason, but it may be too late.
