Jakobi Meyers News
Thursday, July 23, 9:46 AM
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is entering his first full season in Jacksonville in 2026. The 29-year-old was highly productive for the Jaguars last season, recording 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games. From Week 10 onwards, Meyers ranked as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring. In 2026, Jacksonville could get healthier seasons out of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way player Travis Hunter (knee), which might limit Meyers' target opportunities. However, Hunter's involvement on offense remains a question mark, and Thomas Jr. has yet to prove established chemistry with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville committed to Meyers with a three-year, $60 million contract extension, so the team clearly views him as an important piece of its offense. At his current redraft ADP of WR42, Meyers is a high-floor sleeper to target.

Malik Nabers News
Wednesday, July 29, 10:08 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) has been running, cutting, running routes, and taking part in individual drills at training camp, general manager Joe Schoen told Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Nabers continues to make progress as he rehabs from a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee after undergoing surgery last October. The former first-rounder from LSU avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, which was great news, but he's not ready for team drills just yet. Schoen added that the team's medical staff "has a really good plan" for Nabers this summer, and there remains optimism that he'll be ready to go for the Week 1 Sunday night showdown against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. The uncertainty surrounding Nabers' Week 1 availability, though, has made him more of a low-end WR2 target in redraft leagues than a surefire WR1. The 23-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2024 was a Pro Bowler as a rookie, when he caught 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games. Nabers has clear WR1 upside, but there's obvious injury risk coming off a torn ACL and meniscus.
