Jakobi Meyers News
Sunday, August 23, 8:42 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) did not practice with the rest of the team in training camp on Sunday, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Head coach Liam Coen said on Friday that Meyers jammed his right hand during a joint practice with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, and he was seen wearing a brace while sitting on the sidelines on Friday. The 29-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but he did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers and could continue to miss practice in the coming week before the preseason finale on Friday, Aug. 28, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We would be surprised if Meyers' hand injury prevents him from being ready for Week 1 of the regular-season opener in early September. Both Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. have been in the headlines for standout training camps, which has pushed Meyers' fantasy stock down going into his first full year in Jacksonville. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 52 wideout after he caught 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games last year with the Jags after he was acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at midseason.

Romeo Doubs News
Monday, August 24, 11:25 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs already had the No. 2 job, and Monday's Kayshon Boutte trade clears out another player who could have taken outside snaps and downfield targets. New England agreed to send Boutte to Houston for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick. Doubs is coming off 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns with Green Bay, and his first Patriots camp has picked up after a slower start. He has made several contested and red-zone catches lately, while A.J. Brown, Doubs and DeMario Douglas have been the regular first-team trio around Drake Maye. Boutte was mostly working behind that group, but he still had 551 yards and six touchdowns last season and gave Maye another proven vertical option. That competition is gone now. Brown remains the clear No. 1 and Douglas should get plenty of slot work, so Doubs is not suddenly headed for massive volume. His place in the offense does look even safer, though. RotoBaller has him at WR53 and 122nd overall in PPR, and the trade gives his late-round flex case another small bump.
