Should Dynasty Managers Sell High on Jakobi Meyers Ahead of 2026?

Sunday, June 14, 5:18 PM

After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recorded 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games with the Jags. Meyers also signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with Jacksonville, cementing him as part of the team's plans going forward. Meyers has quietly been a highly consistent wide receiver in recent years, posting five consecutive seasons with at least 67 catches and 804 receiving yards. However, he now finds himself part of a crowded wide receiver depth chart in Jacksonville that also includes Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Meyers may be the highest-floor option of that bunch, but he also likely offers the most limited ceiling. If Thomas Jr. and Hunter can put together healthier seasons in 2026, Meyers may see his role shrink. As he enters his age-30 season, Meyers could profile as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers.

Omar Cooper Jr. a Long-Term Investment in the First Round of Rookie Drafts

Sunday, May 31, 8:49 AM

When the New York Jets traded back into the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. with the 30th overall pick, they landed a versatile wide receiver with some of the best tackle-breaking ability in the class. While Cooper no doubt has the talents to make an immediate impact on an NFL field, dynasty managers spending a later first-round rookie pick on him may need to exercise patience to see that impact consistently translate to fantasy success. While New York's offense is trending in the right direction, the operation will be run in 2026 by a soon-to-be-35-year-old Geno Smith, whose 34.1 QBR in 2025 ranked 31st out of all qualified starting quarterbacks. After missing 10 games with a knee sprain, Garrett Wilson and his career 9.1 targets per game are expected back and healthy, and with the Jets spending the 16th pick of the draft on tight end Kenyon Sadiq, Cooper faces direct competition for the short-area, middle-of-the-field looks that made him so valuable to Indiana's National Title-winning offense. Cooper has fantasy-friendly tools and could eventually be used as the Jets' version of a Deebo Samuel Sr. or Rashee Rice, but as RotoBaller's rookie WR5, he projects as more of a long-term investment than the players going ahead of him in rookie drafts.
