Should I Start Jakobi Meyers?

Thursday, November 5, 5:31 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) remains a borderline Flex option in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens after limited practice participation all week. The Ravens defense ranks 25th against wide receivers in fantasy, but Meyers has only popped in one game all season, which happened to come against his former team, the New England Patriots, in Week 3. Meyers has never been a big red-zone threat in his career, so beyond PPR leagues, the veteran receiver has never had the greatest upside. Game script has also been a limiting factor this season. Despite the team winning 42-7 against the Indianapolis Colts last week, Meyers finished with just two catches for 24 yards on just three targets due to the Jacksonville rushing attack and defense dominating. Unless the Ravens without Lamar Jackson somehow make it a close game, it is hard to imagine Meyers's volume being that different. His consistent but relatively minimal involvement in the potent Jacksonville offense makes Meyers a barely startable option in Week 9.
