Jakobi Meyers News
Monday, April 13, 7:22 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is trending up in dynasty leagues ahead of the 2026 season. The Jaguars acquired Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders in a midseason trade last year, and the change of scenery was exactly what he needed to become a weekly fantasy contributor. The former undrafted free agent emerged as the overall WR17 in half-PPR leagues from Week 11-18. Not only was he a productive fantasy receiver, but he also flourished as the best receiver in Jacksonville. With Travis Hunter (knee) injured and Brian Thomas Jr. enduring a second-year slump, Meyers capitalized on the opportunity to produce. Going forward, he has a chance to remain the top receiver in Jacksonville. Hunter is expected to play fewer offensive snaps next year, Thomas' future with the Jaguars remains uncertain, and Parker Washington has taken a step forward but is unlikely to pass Meyers on the depth chart. Fortunately for all the receivers, quarterback Trevor Lawrence has shown that he can support multiple fantasy-relevant skill players. Meyers ranks as the WR38 in the latest dynasty rankings, but his recent three-year extension confirms that he's part of the Jaguars' long-term vision. He has top-24 upside in 2026.

Matthew Golden News
Wednesday, April 15, 10:45 AM
The Green Bay Packers are "clearing the way" for wide receiver Matthew Golden to move up the depth chart as he heads into his second season in the NFL, writes Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers let Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and then recently traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers never made Golden, a first-rounder (23rd overall) in 2025, a focal point of the offense last year, and he finished with just 29 catches for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. Golden caught four passes for 84 yards and his first career touchdown reception in the playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. "I think his ceiling is very, very high. We're very, very excited about what he's going to do for our football team moving forward," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. Christian Watson will be the Packers' No. 1 wideout and big-play threat, but he's also been very injury-prone in his career. Jayden Reed is also expected to have a bigger role, but with both Doubs and Wicks out of town, Golden should be much more involved in 2026 after he let his frustration with his rookie role be known. In single-year leagues, Golden will be a WR4/flex option with big-play abilities and still plenty of upside.
