# Jakobi Meyers NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **JAC**. ## Quick Facts - **Position:** WR - **Team:** JAC (Jacksonville Jaguars) - **Bye week (2026):** 7 - **FantasyPros PPR rank (pulled 2026-05-21):** 83 ## 2026 Outlook Meyers is one of the most underrated wide receivers in fantasy football. Acquired mid-season by the Jaguars in 2025, he quickly became Trevor Lawrence's most trusted target, leading the team in target share down the stretch. In 9 games with Jacksonville, Meyers caught 42 of 61 passes for 482 yards and 3 TDs, averaging 11.9 fantasy points per game. His high floor and reliable production stem from consistent 67.5% catch rate and 55.6 receiving yards per game average over the last five seasons. Now with a full offseason to master the Jaguars system, Meyers should be more comfortable and productive in 2026. Chemistry with Lawrence continues to improve with better communication on route concepts and ball placement. From a dynasty perspective, he's a top-32 receiver being valued as WR3-4. (per Fantasy football buzz: Is Jakobi Meyers the Jaguars WR to target?) The Jaguars' receiver room is complex with Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter also expected to see meaningful targets. Meyers remains the preferred target in rounds 9-10 among Jaguars receivers. One area for upside: Meyers has only 23 touchdowns in 78 games since 2021 (0.29 TDs per game), suggesting positive TD regression could lift his fantasy floor considerably in 2026. Meyers inked a three-year, $60M deal in December that keeps him under contract with Jacksonville through 2028, signaling the Jaguars' long-term commitment. In his first full campaign with Jacksonville (2026), he'll contend for WR targets with Thomas, Washington, and Hunter, but should see enough weekly volume to make a fantasy mark, notably in PPR formats where his 67.5% catch rate thrives (per Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Remains key factor in WR corps). **July 9 update — Established depth piece in crowded room; Hunter's shift to CB may open more slot opportunities:** Sports Illustrated projected 42 receptions for 483 yards in Meyers' 9-game sample with Jacksonville in 2025 (averaging 53+ yards per game), establishing him as a reliable target ahead of Brian Thomas Jr. (707 yards). With Travis Hunter shifting significantly toward cornerback, Meyers should see more consistent work in slot alignments and underneath routes where his high catch rate thrives. In a PPR league, his role likely expands with Hunter's defensive move (per Fantasy Football Impact: Travis Hunter Could Play More CB Than WR In 2026 NFL Season). ## Role / Depth Chart Key target in Jacksonville's WR rotation alongside Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Meyers maintains preferred status among Jaguars receivers and is projected to be the team's leading target consistently (per Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Remains key factor in WR corps). ## Injury Status Healthy. Full availability expected for 2026 season. ## Recent News - 2026-04-21 — Several notable WR and TE injuries could impact 2026 fantasy football outlooks (Several notable WR and TE injuries could impact 2026 fantasy football outlooks) - 2026-06-17 — NFL Player News (NFL Player News) - 2026-03-14 — These Vikings Players Landed New Teams This Week (These Vikings Players Landed New Teams This Week) - 2026-03-12 — Dynasty Fallout: How Free Agency Just Changed Player Values (Dynasty Fallout: How Free Agency Just Changed Player Values) - 2026-06-01 — 4 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Breakout Candidates: Potential WR1s to Draft (2026) (4 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Breakout Candidates: Potential WR1s to Draft (2026)) - 2026-02-25 — 2026 Wide Receiver Tiers For Fantasy Football: Chris Olave Climbs (2026 Wide Receiver Tiers For Fantasy Football: Chris Olave Climbs) - 2026-04-07 — 2026 fantasy football rankings: Profiling more than 60 wide receivers (2026 fantasy football rankings: Profiling more than 60 wide receivers) - 2026-05-27 — 2026 Fantasy Football Tiers: Maximize Value With Every Pick (2026 Fantasy Football Tiers: Maximize Value With Every Pick) - 2026-06-09 — QB questions for all 32 NFL teams: Contracts, injuries, more (QB questions for all 32 NFL teams: Contracts, injuries, more) - 2026-06-11 — NFL 2026 minicamp takeaways: Browns' Deshaun Watson-Shedeur Sanders competition heating up (NFL 2026 minicamp takeaways: Browns' Deshaun Watson-Shedeur Sanders competition heating up) ## Open Questions _(scoped to this player — pulled from Fantasy Football Open Questions)_ --- Source: https://chatffb.com/players/jakobi-meyers · ChatFFB — fantasy football answers updated from a live news wiki.
