Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Roman Wilson

Sunday, December 21, 9:41 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has momentum on his side heading into Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Denver Broncos. The 29-year-old has enjoyed quite the resurgence since being dealt from Las Vegas to Jacksonville midseason. In six games since the trade, he ranks as the overall WR12 in half-PPR leagues. He has posted double-digit fantasy points in each of the last five weeks, and he has scored a touchdown in three of his last four games. Meyers remains a strong WR2 option for fantasy football this week, but his range of outcomes is admittedly a little larger given the uncertainty surrounding his matchup. If Meyers faces off against Patrick Surtain II, his upside could be limited, and he'd have a lower floor. On the other hand, Surtain could take Brian Thomas Jr., leaving Riley Moss to cover Meyers. Moss has been tough in the red zone this year, but he's given up plenty of yardage, so if he's covering Meyers, the NC State product would instantly become a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson (coach's decision) and wide receiver Roman Wilson (coach's decision) are both healthy scratches for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Detroit Lions. Johnson is inactive for the very first time in his rookie campaign. The 22-year-old played just 3% of the snaps last Monday versus Miami, and he has just 28 carries, 69 rushing yards, one catch, and nine receiving yards so far this year. Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell are the Steelers' only active running backs on Sunday. Meanwhile, Wilson is inactive for the third game in a row. He has 12 catches, 166 yards, and two touchdowns in his second NFL campaign, and he hasn't caught a pass since Week 11. At the wide receiver position, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek are active, offering additional depth behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
