Meyers has fallen 9 spots in consensus rankings but is the cheapest of the three top Jaguars receivers on Underdog. Projections have Meyers finishing third among Parker Washington and Brian Thomas, but given the relatively tight projections, Sam Wallace will be snagging plenty of Meyers in upcoming drafts to take advantage of the discount created by Washington hype and BTJ optimism.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Jaguars WR was active during Parker Washington's four-game outburst to close out last year (Week 12 through playoffs), providing context that Washington's target share and production gains occurred despite competition from Meyers.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Jakobi Meyers was active during Parker Washington's four-game outburst to close out last season (Week 12 onward), when Washington led the Jaguars' receiving corps with a 25% target share and averaged 14.2 PPR points per game. This context suggests that despite Meyers's presence on the roster, Washington was able to establish himself as a primary target for Trevor Lawrence.NegativeProjectionAug 21, 2026

The source identifies Meyers as seriously underrated by touts despite finishing 2025 as WR20 in expected fantasy points per game (xFPPG); coming off the board at WR44 overall, the source views him as due for positive regression in 2026 and calls him 'my favorite bet in this passing offense at cost,' suggesting his ADP significantly undervalues his production trajectory.NegativeDepth ChartJul 27, 2026
Jakobi Meyers is one of four receivers competing for targets in the Jaguars WR room alongside Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter, and Parker Washington. The source describes this as a four-headed monster that is one of the most daunting in the league, making it difficult to predict who will get Trevor Lawrence's attention each week.PositiveValueJul 26, 2026
Meyers is projected for 100 targets with an ESPN ADP of 107, representing the cheapest option among Jaguars receivers despite unclear pecking order. Matthew Berry notes that Parker Washington leads with 107 projected targets, Meyers has 100, and Brian Thomas has 98, indicating the Jaguars could operate like the Packers of the AFC South—spreading the ball around with no true WR1 for fantasy. Among the three, Meyers offers the best value at his current ADP.PositiveRoleJul 25, 2026
Meyers was acquired by Jacksonville in Week 10 and immediately established himself as a key target, posting a 23% target share and 20% TPRR from Week 10-19. His arrival significantly impacted Brian Thomas Jr.'s role, shifting Thomas to a boundary/field-stretching role while Meyers and Parker Washington dominated the target distribution.PositiveValueJul 23, 2026
Jakobi Meyers offers an affordable way to gain exposure to the Week 16 Cowboys-Jaguars matchup (projected total 51.5 points), which provides another quality stacking opportunity as Jacksonville continues building on last season's offensive improvements.PositiveRoleJul 23, 2026
Jakobi Meyers is positioned as a potential obstacle to the breakout of the Jaguars' younger WR prospects. The article raises the question of whether Meyers could be 'the fly in the ointment' preventing all four Jags receivers from breaking out, suggesting his presence and role could limit target share and opportunity for Washington, Thomas, and other pass catchers.PositiveValueNo date
Meyers is projected for 100 targets with an ADP of 104.5, offering a safe floor in a crowded Jaguars passing game. Starting in Week 9 (his second in Jacksonville), he saw 58 targets that converted to 38 catches for 442 yards and 3 TDs over the final eight games, averaging no fewer than 6 targets per game. The source notes that multiple pass catchers may wear the weekly target-leader crown for Jacksonville, but Meyers' consistency and floor make him a solid 9th-round pick.PositiveBustNo date
ADP faller (-2.1 spots). Was fantastic after acquisition from Raiders last season, posting WR20 finish in PPR from Week 9 on. However, faces plenty of competition. Parker Washington was arguably more impressive down stretch, serving as clear alpha receiver in final four games (including playoffs) with 31% target share and 21.8 PPR PPG average. Brian Thomas is potential bounceback candidate after historic rookie season 2024-25. Travis Hunter returning after being selected second overall in 2025 NFL Draft. Seen as No. 3 option in passing attack, trailing both Washington and Thomas in fantasy projections. Going latest of trio on Underdog, but still possible he's being drafted too early. If Washington's breakout was real and Thomas reverts to rookie form, tough for Meyers to have huge impact.PositiveProjectionNo date
Meyers was wonderful as a late-season acquisition for the Jaguars, providing a proven option in the Jacksonville WR room.
