NegativeProjectionSep 8, 2026
In Weeks 13-18 last year with Brian Thomas Jr. back in the lineup, Parker Washington contributing, and Trevor Lawrence playing at a high level, Meyers was the WR28 in fantasy points per game with a 22.6% target share, 26.7% first-read share, 54.7 receiving yards per game, 1.62 yards per route run, and 0.094 first downs per route run. The source expects Meyers to be a solid WR3/flex at times this season, but not in Week 1. When Tyson Campbell and Denzel Ward were on the field together as full-time players, Cleveland's pass defense was elite against perimeter wide receivers, allowing only 1.43 fantasy points per target and 7.24 yards per target (third-lowest in each category over a full season). The source recommends sitting Meyers this week.

Meyers rounds out Jacksonville's group as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none option; he is an above-average receiver with modest speed who will command a decent amount of targets, but his upside is greatly capped due to the hype surrounding Washington and a potential bounce-back campaign from Thomas. If either were to sustain an injury, Meyers would vault into the limelight immediately, but as things currently stand, he's a WR4/FLEX option with a middling ceiling.

Jakobi Meyers is projected as WR36 (148.4 FPTS) versus ECR WR46, a +10 differential. The source describes Meyers as 'one of fantasy football's most underrated receivers,' noting he quickly became Trevor Lawrence's trusted target after arriving in Jacksonville midseason. Meyers immediately stepped into a major role in Liam Coen's offense and maintained steady production even after Brian Thomas Jr. returned to the lineup. His reliability, route-running, and ability to command targets have made him one of the league's more productive possession receivers over recent seasons. With a full offseason to build chemistry in Jacksonville, the source projects Meyers as a strong value WR3 with a safer weekly floor than most players in his draft range.

Meyers is the pick for the source who wants the least direct exposure to the Jacksonville room. The team's most-used pass catchers over its final ten games last year were exactly the types of receivers this front office traded for and immediately extended, and Meyers fits that same mold. However, he has had almost no practice time yet to build chemistry with his new quarterback. With the team also expected to lean heavily on multiple tight ends this year, that the source's overall verdict is to mostly avoid betting on any specific receiver here and instead simply draft the quarterback to access the offense's upside broadly.
