Again, Jaguars tried to deploy Brian Thomas as a 3-level threat to start in 2025 and they altered him to a deep threat after the Jakobi Meyers addition That’s the role he’s expected to play to start 2026 as well I’ve written about this in many forums so I’ll hold my take

Liam Coen discussed the challenges Brian Thomas had: Mentions offense used condensed splits which is a learning curve for Outside WRs We above me mentality on stat lines Later talks about Jakobi Meyers addition allowing BTJ to do what he does best (vertical WR)

Cheapest ADP of trio; extended by Jags but underperformed after Washington's breakout (under 45 yards in 5 of last 6 games 2024). High floor, capped ceiling; reliable hands but not athletic relative to peers. PPR value higher than standard. Comments note he's a plodder athletically; great value only if no one separates and split is even; likely WR3 on team. Some prefer him in PPR for consistency; others see him as 4th option behind Hunter. Tlaw built rapport with him last year but chemistry may not sustain with Washington emerging.

Signed to $60M extension; brought in mid-2025 after Travis Hunter injury. Community views him as likely WR2 or co-WR2 with Parker Washington. One comment: 'Jakobi is going a whole round or two later than [Washington] and honestly I feel they'll post similar season stats.' Another: 'Washington and Meyers with the best floors.' Liam Coen has track record of producing efficient slot receivers (Wan'dale Robinson, Godwin). Meyers likely to see consistent targets but may cannibalize Washington's upside.

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.

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.

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.'

Depth chart uncertainty. One comment suggests Meyers may be 'the odd man out' if BTJ is locked into downfield role and Washington gets intermediate work. Another notes Meyers 'consistently gets 800/900 yards a season, being a #2 with below-average QBs' and is 'most underrated WR of the past few years.' Minimal camp chatter reported ('heard nothing about Meyers all camp'). Role likely intermediate/slot if he remains active.
