Meyers

Meyers wasn’t the only Jags pass catcher to post an empty box score in a 42-7 obliteration where Trevor Lawrence attempted only 14 passes, though he’s now been held to two or fewer receptions in 4-of-7 games. For a supposed “floor” player, that is not going to cut it, especially since Meyers is not the ceiling threat in this offense. With volume likely to remain in short supply for Thursday’s short-week tilt with the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens, Meyers is not a compelling WR3 for Week 9.

As expected based on the morning reporting. Meyers can be trusted as a WR4/FLEX mix against the Colts. Inactive for the Jaguars are S Antonio Johnson (knee), WR CJ Williams, CB Alijah Huzzie, LB Jamal Hill, DE Wesley Williams and DT Albert Regis.

Meyers was limited in the Jags’ first two practices of the week before being downgraded to a DNP on Friday. The team listed him as questionable, though the DNP was likely maintenance in hindsight. Meyers has topped three catches or 50 yards in just two games this year. He did, however, see 10 targets in the Jags’ Week 6 loss to the Texans before their bye. Meyers is in the WR4 mix for Week 8.

Meyers managed back-to-back limited sessions to begin the week of preparation but was downgraded to a “DNP” Friday, ultimately drawing the questionable tag for Week 8 against the Colts. An absence could require additional offensive snaps for two-way player Travis Hunter and a slight uptick in route rate for Brian Thomas Jr and Josh Cameron. This is one to monitor for fantasy managers of all Jacksonville pass catchers.

Meyers has put together a pair of limited sessions out of the bye and seems likely to play against the Colts in Week 8. Brian Thomas Jr.'s disappearing act has left Meyers capable of putting up WR3 lines, but the Colts may not be opponent enough to force that kind of production out of Meyers this week.

The hamstring issue is new, but it’s not one we expected to prevent Meyers from playing. A limited practice this early in the week is typically maintenance, especially midway through the season. Meyers will remains a fantasy WR4 for his Week 8 matchup with the Titans.

It’s his highest target total of the season and the first time Meyers has managed 10 targets since Week 14 of the 2025 season. No touchdown here, but Meyers is a fine real-life third receiver who has mostly been left to the FLEX life in Jacksonville. He enters the bye as someone who can be dropped in shallow leagues in a roster crunch, but also someone solidly in the top 50 wideouts in the league on a good offense.

Meyers has been held to two and three catches over his past two games. It’s probably not a coincidence that Brenton Strange leads the team with 14 catches during Meyers’ two-game slump. Meyers is still operating as the Jags’ WR2, but his role will come down to matchup nuances on a week-to-week basis. He is sliding back into the WR5 fantasy ranks ahead of his Week 6 matchup with the Texans.

Meyers continues to see the most snaps among all Jaguars wide receivers as Liam Coen utilizes him as both an outside target and willing blocker. He was second in targets against the Bengals as Trevor Lawrence threw just 23 passes on the day. Meyers now seems to be ahead of Brian Thomas Jr. on the wide receiver pecking order and is WR3 fantasy play for a London game against the Eagles in Week 5.

He should be trusted as a low-end WR3/FLEX play against the Bengals. Meyers has cleared the injury report with this thumb listing three times in three weeks, though he was questionable in Week 2. It clearly isn’t bothering him enough to impact his play.
