Jakobi Meyers News
Wednesday, July 8, 10:47 AM
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 was a major fantasy asset following the trade, checking in as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring from Week 10 onwards. Entering his first full season with Jacksonville in 2026, Meyers could see more competition for targets. Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. could be in line for a bounce-back season after an injury-marred 2025, and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) had already suffered his season-ending knee injury by the time Jacksonville acquired Meyers. Still, Meyers may be the most reliable option available for Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. With a current redraft ADP of WR47, Meyers now projects as a value pick for fantasy managers.

Rome Odunze News
Saturday, June 27, 11:10 AM
Across 12 games in 2025, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) recorded 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets. The 24-year-old's campaign was disrupted by a late-season foot injury that forced him to miss the final five games of the regular season. Odunze was able to return for Chicago's two postseason contests, but he mentioned during OTAs that he's still dealing with lingering effects of the foot ailment. While Odunze's injury concerns are unquestionably worrisome, it may also be creating a buy-low window for fantasy managers. Following Chicago's offseason trade of wideout DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, Odunze appears to be the WR1 in an improving Bears offense. However, he's currently coming off the board as the WR28 by average draft position in redraft leagues. Odunze's profile has risk, but his upside may be worth gambling on in 2026.
