Jakobi Meyers News
Thursday, July 23, 9:46 AM
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is entering his first full season in Jacksonville in 2026. The 29-year-old was highly productive for the Jaguars last season, recording 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games. From Week 10 onwards, Meyers ranked as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring. In 2026, Jacksonville could get healthier seasons out of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way player Travis Hunter (knee), which might limit Meyers' target opportunities. However, Hunter's involvement on offense remains a question mark, and Thomas Jr. has yet to prove established chemistry with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville committed to Meyers with a three-year, $60 million contract extension, so the team clearly views him as an important piece of its offense. At his current redraft ADP of WR42, Meyers is a high-floor sleeper to target.

Travis Hunter News
Sunday, August 2, 6:48 AM
Through the early days of training camp, Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter has featured primarily with the defense, but he made a number of standout offensive plays during Sunday's practice. The second-year player got open for a pair of deep catches during what has been his most active session of the summer. Not neglecting his defensive responsibilities, Hunter also intercepted backup quarterback Nick Mullens on a day that showcased his truly unique skill set. The second overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft will continue to be one of the most difficult fantasy projections throughout his early career, as the talent is obvious, but there will be no accounting for usage from week to week. Hunter is RotoBaller's WR72 but could prove to be a difference-maker for risk-tolerant drafters.
