Meyers was limited in practice earlier in the week with hamstring and ankle injuries before being downgraded to DNP on Friday.

Even if he plays, his underwhelming production this season combined with multiple injury designations makes him a player to avoid in fantasy lineups.PositiveMatchupOct 31, 2026

Meyers has developed tremendous chemistry with Trevor Lawrence under coach Liam Coen and has already recorded a seven-catch game this season; he faces Cincinnati's worst-in-the-league pass defense that has no secondary depth and allows quarterbacks to find holes easily.

Led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards, and he scored against his old team to post a low-end WR1 game in PPR leagues; it is worth riding out the lows if Meyers can continue to post a game like this every other week or so.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Meyers scored in Week 3 for the second time this year and caught seven of eight targets, showing potential to become a more regular part of the Jaguars target tree after catching only three balls in the first two weeks. In PPR leagues, Meyers should be a priority pickup this week if he was dropped after a poor Week 2.NegativeBustSep 15, 2026

Despite his inability to log a full practice this week after jamming his thumb in a mid-August joint practice with the Panthers, Meyers was removed from the final injury report and will play in Week 1. He'll likely slot in as the third option behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, but with the Jaguars' reliance on three-receiver sets and the high-scoring nature of this offense, Meyers has some flex appeal coming into the matchup.NegativeInjurySep 12, 2026

Jakobi Meyers, traded to the Jaguars from Las Vegas, quickly established himself as Trevor Lawrence's go-to target, catching 42 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns for Jacksonville after the mid-season trade. Meyers returned a 95.2 passer rating when targeted, an impressive mark for a player jumping into a new system midseason. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone noted Meyers' 'superpower is not dropping the football.' Meyers has three WR2 finishes in the last five years and hasn't finished lower than WR30 over that span, yet is going as WR42 in Round 8, the third Jacksonville receiver off the board behind Brian Thomas Jr. (WR33) and Parker Washington (WR37). Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox ranked Meyers at number six among the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL entering the regular season, and USA Today's Jake Boico suggested Meyers will enter the season 'as one of the most underrated wide receivers in all of football.'
