Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers enters the 2026 fantasy football season in a much better spot than he was a year ago, because his midseason move to Jacksonville last year gave him a clearer path to targets and a stronger role in the offense. Recent fantasy coverage says he finished 2025 with enough momentum to project as a useful WR3, with some outlets even calling him a top-24 upside candidate if the Jaguars’ receiver room stays unsettled.

The big reason for optimism is volume. Since joining Jacksonville, Meyers produced like a dependable weekly starter, ranking as the overall WR16 over that stretch and seeing six or more targets in eight straight games, which is the kind of usage that usually translates well in PPR formats. FantasyPros also notes that he quickly became Trevor Lawrence’s trusted target and handled a major role in Liam Coen’s offense, even after Brian Thomas Jr. returned.

There are still a few moving pieces that matter for his ceiling. The recent reports suggest Jacksonville sees Meyers as part of its long-term plan after giving him a three-year extension, and one source says he is likely the safest bet to lead the team in targets in 2026. At the same time, the same coverage acknowledges competition from Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, so Meyers looks more like a high-floor option than a pure target hog unless the depth chart shifts again.

For fantasy managers, the short version is that Meyers looks like a reliable mid-round value with weekly WR3 appeal and room to finish higher if Jacksonville keeps funneling volume his way. His appeal is strongest in PPR leagues because his game is built on routes, catches, and steady usage rather than explosive plays, and the recent Jacksonville fit has already shown he can produce when the quarterback and target share cooperate.
