Jakobi Meyers News
Tuesday, March 3, 6:01 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers broke out after being acquired midseason, providing plenty of optimism for his outlook in 2026 and beyond. Meyers had 39 catches, 442 yards, and three touchdowns over the final eight games of the regular season. He finished the year as the overall WR32 in PPR leagues despite a subpar start to the year in Vegas. It's unlikely the Jaguars envisioned Meyers becoming a No. 1 wide receiver when they traded for him, but that's the situation they find themselves in ahead of the 2026 campaign. Brian Thomas Jr. had a woefully disappointing second season, finishing behind both Meyers and Parker Washington in both catches, yards, and touchdowns. Meyers, Washington, Thomas, and, to some extent, Travis Hunter will all demand targets in the Jaguars' offense next season. This may not be the most traditional-looking receiver room, but if we were to place a ranking on the pecking order, we'd say that Meyers has an early advantage on the quest to be Jacksonville's WR1 in 2026.

Ricky Pearsall News
Thursday, March 12, 7:01 AM
A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has missed 14 games due to injury over the first two years of his NFL career. When healthy, Pearsall's production has been more solid than spectacular. Across nine games played in 2025, the 25-year-old hauled in 36 receptions for 528 yards and zero touchdowns on 53 targets. The 49ers made one of the biggest splashes of the early portion of free agency by signing veteran wide receiver Mike Evans to a three-year deal. While the 32-year-old Evans may no longer be the player he once was at his peak, he still projects as San Francisco's top outside wideout and could push Pearsall to the WR2 role. On the bright side for Pearsall's production outlook, the 49ers could be losing wide receiver Jauan Jennings to free agency and will likely be without star tight end George Kittle (Achilles) for a chunk of 2026 as Kittle recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. Still, the signing of Evans could signal that San Francisco does not view Pearsall as a number-one wide receiver option going forward and may be bad news for his long-term dynasty outlook.
