Jakobi Meyers News
Monday, October 26, 7:03 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers makes a compelling case for a Week 8 waiver claim in 10-team and deeper PPR leagues after drawing more targets against the Houston Texans in Week 6 than in his previous two games combined. Meyers caught five of 10 targets for a season-high 83 yards in the 34-31 loss after totaling five catches for 70 yards on seven targets in Weeks 4 and 5. His expanded involvement offers flex potential following Jacksonville's bye, although he has been held to 40 receiving yards or fewer in four of six appearances. Meyers has 20 catches for 285 yards and two touchdowns on 28 targets overall. He faces considerable competition for Trevor Lawrence's attention, with Parker Washington drawing 11 targets against Houston and Brenton Strange receiving seven. The Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Sunday, October 25, 5:35 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan posted four receptions (on six targets) for 40 yards (10.0 yards per catch) and did not find the end zone in a 43-13 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. He played 38 offensive snaps. The lopsided loss made it difficult for any Panther player to put up large numbers on Sunday, but it was McMillan's second-lowest output of the 2026 season (two receptions for 17 yards in Week 3). Still, McMillan led Carolina in targets and tied for the team lead in receptions with running back Chuba Hubbard. Quarterback Bryce Young only threw for 163 yards on the day, and 50 of those came on his lone touchdown pass to tight end Darren Waller. This game is likely an anomaly, as the Panthers found themselves down 33-6 at halftime. McMillan will remain heavily involved in Carolina's passing game and is still a must-start player. He will look to bounce back on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.
