Jakobi Meyers' 2025 contract extension with Jacksonville serves as a precedent for the Jaguars' willingness to take organizational risk on players based on limited sample sizes of quality play; the source groups Meyers with Cole Van Lanen as examples of the Jaguars recently making similarly notable risks in signing both players to 2025 extensions following small sample sizes, providing context for whether the team's approach to Washington's extension represents a consistent organizational philosophy or an outlier.

Meyers is mentioned as a factor in Brian Thomas Jr.'s role reduction; once Meyers joined the Jaguars roster, Thomas was relegated to a field-stretching role in Weeks 13-18, limiting his target share and production.

Meyers has been limited at practice but said he would be playing in Week 1. He is a flex option who is more of a safe floor than an upside play.

Lots of injury updates for the Jaguars Seems like Jakobi Meyers is good to go Keeping an eye on Anton Harrison, but great to hear Van Lanen got work (he's a GTD) Jaguars should still win this one, but I want both OTs vs the Browns DL

Meyers remains part of the Jaguars' receiving setup alongside Parker Washington, with Brian Thomas moving to the 'X' receiver role under new OC Liam Coen. This represents a continuation of last year's receiving hierarchy rather than a significant role change.

Meyers is working the middle more often in the Jaguars offense, contributing to Brian Thomas Jr.'s role compression. If Travis Hunter plays any WR, it will likely come at the expense of Meyers and BTJ, as Washington can play inside or out.

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.

Can someone at @ESPNFantasy explain to me why Travis Hunter is still ranked inside the top-100? A player expected to play on defense most of the time? - He's literally projected to score 70+ fewer fantasy points than every player being drafted around him I'd love to hear the reasoning behind why he's ranked 1 spot ahead of Tucker Kraft, 3 spots ahead of Jakobi Meyers, and 14 spots ahead of Chris Godwin

Described as 'the paragon example of a WR2 and one of the most underrated players in the NFL'; cited as best WR3 in the league by multiple comments. Ranked higher than Hunter on ESPN in PPR mocks. Community consensus is he is a solid, consistent option but not a stud; some debate whether he or BTJ is the true WR1 for Jacksonville.

Signed a three-year, $60 million extension with the Jaguars last December to presumably continue to be the adult in this talented room; as much as fantasy nerds want Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington to lead the way, Meyers is firmly in play to work as this offense's most-productive receiver.
