Jakobi Meyers News
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.

Rashee Rice News
Tuesday, June 16, 7:48 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) was released from Dallas County Jail on Tuesday morning after serving 30 days for a probation violation, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. After being released, Rice ran away from cameras and refused to speak to the media before being taken away in an SUV. In addition to more off-the-field issues this offseason for the 26-year-old, Rice had a clean-up surgery on his right knee in May, but head coach Andy Reid said he expects Rice to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. Barring a setback with his knee this summer, Rice should be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, although another potential suspension to begin the year hanging over his head will have fantasy managers hesitant to take him early in drafts. When active, Rice has clearly established himself as the WR1 in KC as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' (knee) favorite weapon, but injuries and off-the-field issues have limited him to just 12 regular-season starts in the last two years. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of SMU is a risk/reward, low-end WR2/high-end WR3 target in upcoming 2026 fantasy drafts.
