Meyers is running nearly every route alongside Kirk and has been given 37 dig/in routes and 25 curls or hitches this season; digs and slants make up 28% of his routes, and 22% come off play-action. He's accounted for 17.3% of the Jaguars' first-read targets in his games, even though he hasn't drawn as many targets overall as expected from those routes. Receiver Score is buying him in leagues where he can be acquired for almost nothing—he's running high-value routes in a good offense—the better days will come. He's a WR3.

Jakobi Meyers had 5-83-0 against the Texans on a season-high 10 targets in Week 7. For the season, Meyers has 20-285-2 on 28 targets and was WR36 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring through the first six weeks. He's averaging a solid 10.2 yards per target and 1.85 yards per route run. Although Meyers has a modest 15.2% target share, that percentage could increase in the coming weeks with Brian Thomas Jr. no longer drawing a significant number of targets and rumored to be a trade candidate. Meyers is averaging 2.06 yards per route run and 0.28 targets per route run against man coverage this season, and in Week 8 he faces a Colts defense that's playing man coverage at the sixth-highest rate in the league.

if the Jaguars had an injury to Jakobi Meyers, do you think they’d feel Ok knowing BTJ can step in? Or do you think they’d panic knowing he just hasn’t played well for 2 years? I can’t wrap my brain around this at all. If there’s an injury they’re playing Josh Cameron, man.

Meyers' playing time has been steady, but his targets have fluctuated wildly (weekly totals in reverse chronology: 10, 3, 4, 8, 1, 2). The source notes his first two weeks can be discounted because he was coming back from a hand/finger injury and limited in practice. He's now up to a 16% target share in a good offense, suggesting he'll be useful for helping fantasy teams deal with byes and injuries. However, it's unclear if Brian Thomas being out of the mix will help, given that Thomas hasn't been doing much and could be partially replaced by more Hunter snaps/targets. Meyers also had a drop in this game.

Jaguars (vs Texans): Brian Thomas Jr. was benched in the 2nd half after two drops and played 0 2nd-half snaps RBs: Bhayshul Tuten: 55% opp share, 59% route share, 0% of i10 rush att, 14% of 2min RB snaps, 33% 3rd down snap share More of a split than the past few weeks, but CRod was running well. He scored 2 TDs and had 1 called back on a questionable holding call. I think he's a high-end RB2 for now - he's getting much more involved in the pass game. Chris Rodriguez Jr.: 41% opp share, 14% ro...
