Jakobi Meyers Could Fall to WR3 in Jacksonville

Saturday, August 8, 7:54 AM

With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. standing out in training camp, veteran Jakobi Meyers could find himself the third option in the passing game. After being traded to the Jaguars from the Las Vegas Raiders last season, Meyers hauled in 42 of 61 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games. However, toward the end of the season, Meyers struggled, totaling just 140 yards and no touchdowns in the team's last four games, while Washington dominated and Thomas was solid. With Washington labeled "the star of training camp" and Thomas "the best he's ever looked," Meyers could be phased out of the team's passing attack. Ranked WR38 on RotoBaller's positional rankings, Meyers seems like too high a draft capital to trust in 2026.

Kyren Williams Still Boasts RB1 Upside Despite Falling Draft Cost

Friday, August 14, 7:01 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been a top nine fantasy finisher in each of the past three seasons, but even with the Rams having the league's highest projected scoring total for 2026, he is currently being drafted as the RB12, routinely falling out of the second round. Concerns of Blake Corum's late-season emergence have created a worst-case timeshare scenario in many drafters' minds, seemingly overlooking the fact that as Corum came on as the RB17 over the final six weeks of 2025, Williams still saw featured back usage and finished as the RB10 over the same stretch. Williams could see a dip in total touches, but as the superior receiver and more efficient goal-line back, he should retain his most valuable work, and he remains one of the league's safest bets to reach a double-digit touchdown floor. Yet to turn 26, Williams still has obvious RB1 upside but is often available closer to an RB2 price point.
