Meyers has averaged 11.5 fantasy points per game over 106 games and 8 seasons, without a top-12 finish. The average hides two careers: 12.2 a game in his six seasons with a starter's volume, 7.0 in the two without it.
So far in 2026 he is at 11.8 per game, up 0.8 from 2025. That is despite less volume (3.7 targets a game against 6.9), so efficiency and scoring are doing it. His quarterback this season has been Trevor Lawrence.

Jakobi Meyers Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy WR3 with flex weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR32 last season at 11.0 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR30 at 11.8 PPR points per game, against 11.0 over 16 games last season (WR32). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 14th of 142 in target volume (22.3% target share), 18th of 142 in downfield role (31.4% air-yards share) and 47th of 142 in efficiency (1.69 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Trevor Lawrence is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Cj Williams next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Texans in Week 6 (5th against WRs) and the Colts in Week 8 (9th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Meyers remains one of the steadiest possession receivers in the league, and the volume backs it up. In 2025 he ran 82.4% of routes, earned a 22.3% target share, and posted a 0.554 WOPR while drawing 15 red-zone looks across 16 games. His efficiency held too: a 59.1% success rate, 1.69 yards per route run, and just two drops on 110 targets. The only blemish is finishing power, with three touchdowns dragging his line down to WR26 despite 75 grabs for 835 yards.
Now Trevor Lawrence's trusted target in Jacksonville, Meyers slid into WR1 work after arriving midseason and immediately led the team in target share. With a fresh contract locked in, he profiles as a high-floor WR3 around pick 100, more valuable in full PPR. Brian Thomas Jr. owns the bigger ceiling and the receiver room is hard to forecast, but Meyers' dependable usage and route polish make him a stable weekly play.

Jakobi Meyers Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Jakobi Meyers's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Jakobi Meyers projects as a target-heavy WR3 with flex weeks for the rest of the 2026 season: a flex play in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His target volume (22.3% target share, 14th of 142 WRs in 2025) supports that. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Jakobi Meyers's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Jakobi Meyers is the WR30 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in WR3 territory, a flex play in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is Jakobi Meyers's projected role going forward?
Jakobi Meyers is the listed starting WR, with Cj Williams next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Jakobi Meyers get more targets?
Jakobi Meyers's targets are holding steady: 4.5 a game over his last two games against 3.7 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Jakobi Meyers's fantasy football upside?
Jakobi Meyers's upside: his ceiling this season is 19.4 PPR points (Week 3, WR16), his target volume (22.3% target share, 14th of 142 WRs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Texans in Week 6 and the Colts in Week 8 are top-10 matchups for WRs.
What could hurt Jakobi Meyers's fantasy value?

If Meyers Misses Time
Next man up: Cj Williams
Cj Williams is next on the Jaguars depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Meyers misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Trevor Lawrence would lose one of his main options.
