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.
