Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited with thumb issue Wednesday
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Both Meyers and Brian Thomas (shoulder) were limited in Wednesday's session. Meyers dealt with a thumb injury late in the preseason but was able to give it a go in Week 1, catching two passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. Limited practices may be the norm for Meyers for the time being until his thumb is back to 100 percent, but it certainly didn't stop him from playing well in the opener.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Two targets in blowout win
Rotowire
Meyers caught both of his targets for 40 total yards and a touchdown, adding one carry for two yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.
Meyers did not receive much attention despite a strong offensive day for the Jaguars. Parker Washington earned No. 1 option honors, catching five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown, while Meyers took a more minimal yet efficient role with 20 yards per reception.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union, Meyers was donning a non-contact jersey for the second day in a row while aiming to protect his injured right thumb. The fact that he's practiced in some fashion during the first two days of Week 1 prep is generally a positive sign for Meyers' status heading into Sunday's game against the Browns, but he may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Dons non-contact jersey Thursday
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was spotted in a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Meyers is practicing in a non-contact jersey for a second consecutive day after being listed as limited at Wednesday's practice. He'll have one more chance Friday to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Browns. Two-way player Travis Hunter and rookie Day 3 draft picks Josh Cameron and CJ Williams would be candidates to receive playing time alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington if Meyers misses any game action due to his lingering thumb injury.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited during Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union, Meyers sported a non-contact jersey during the open portion of Wednesday's session, though he was ultimately able to do enough work to garner a limited listing. Per John Shipley of SI.com, Meyers said after practice that he expects to play Sunday against the Browns, though he may need to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Will practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Meyers (hand) will participate in Wednesday's practice session, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Meyers has been out of action since injuring his hand during a joint practice with the Panthers nearly two weeks ago, but he is set to return to the field Wednesday. With Meyers cleared to get some work in, it seems likely he is on track to take the field Week 1 against the Browns.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Sporting brace on right hand
Rotowire
Head coach Liam Coen said after Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers that Meyers jammed his right hand during Wednesday's joint practice with Carolina, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Meyers was wearing a brace on his right hand while observing Friday's exhibition contest from the sidelines. It's unclear whether the veteran wideout will be cleared to practice in the upcoming week, but the injury could prevent him from suiting up for Jacksonville's preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Friday, Aug. 28. Any time that Meyers misses means Travis Hunter and rookie sixth-rounders Josh Cameron and C.J. Williams would be in line for more reps alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington (undisclosed).

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Held out of preseason opener
Rotowire
Meyers did not suit up for Saturday's 24-20 preseason victory over the Saints.
As an established veteran, Meyers was held out of Saturday's contest for rest and injury prevention purposes. He remains on track to open the regular season as one of Jacksonville's top three wideouts alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Five catches in Week 18 win
Rotowire
Meyers caught five of six targets for 44 yards in the Jaguars' 41-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.
It was again Parker Washington doing most of the damage in the Jaguars' wide receiver corps, posting a 5-87-1 receiving line on a team-high nine targets against Tennessee. In nine games with Jacksonville following his trade from Las Vegas, Meyers has caught 42 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets. The Jaguars will host the Bills in the wild-card round next weekend.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Meyers is doing well since coming to Jacksonville via trade from Las Vegas, and he's worth starting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 15 against the Jets. In his past three games against Arizona, Tennessee and Indianapolis, Meyers has 14 catches for 179 yards and three touchdowns on 22 targets, and he scored at least 14.8 PPR points in each outing. The Jets just allowed Jaylen Waddle to catch five passes for 50 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and Meyers should follow suit in this matchup at home.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Earns 10 targets
Rotowire
Meyers recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts. He added three rushes for nine yards.
Meyers continued to solidify himself as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target, and he took advantage of Parker Washington's (hip) absence to log his first double-digit target performance since Week 2. He was inefficient with the opportunity, though he did manage a 14-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter -- his most impactful play in the blowout win. Meyers has now found the end zone in three straight games and has at least six targets in each of his last four contests.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Start
Rotowire
It seems like Meyers is starting to get comfortable in Jacksonville, with at least 11.4 PPR points in three games in a row, including his past two outings against the Cardinals and Titans with at least 15 PPR points. Parker Washington (hip) could miss this game against the Colts, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and won't have Sauce Gardner (calf) in this matchup. For the season, 12 receivers have scored at least 12.9 PPR points against Indianapolis, which could hopefully help Brian Thomas Jr. this week. Thomas returned from a three-game absence with an ankle injury in Week 13 at Tennessee and had two catches for 28 yards on three targets, and he only has two games this season with more than 10.6 PPR points. Despite the good matchup, Thomas is only worth starting in three-receiver leagues in Week 14.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Big performance against Titans
Rotowire
Meyers recorded six receptions on six targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans. He added one rush for three yards.
Meyers continues to build rapport with Trevor Lawrence, and he was clearly the Jaguars' best receiver in Sunday's blowout win. He may have benefitted from the departure of Parker Washington (hip) with a few extra targets in the second half, though Meyers accounted for most of his production before Washington's absence. He caught a deep pass over the middle of the field late in the first quarter that went for 50 yards, and he capped off the same drive with a three-yard touchdown reception. Meyers also chipped in a 13-yard catch just before halftime to help set up a field goal, and he now has at least four receptions and 50 yards in each of his last three games while also finding the end zone in consecutive contests.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Scores first TD of season with JAX
Rotowire
Meyers hauled in four of six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.
Meyers finally hit pay dirt with his first touchdown as a member of the Jaguars since being traded from the Raiders on Nov. 4. It was also the veteran wideout's first touchdown of the season after being held scoreless over his previous nine appearances overall. Meyers has become more comfortable in Jacksonville's offense with each passing week, which should excite fantasy managers with thoughts of a strong run to close out the regular season. The 28-year-old will attempt to build off of this strong performance in a road tilt against Tennessee next Sunday.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Meyers had a solid game in Week 11 against the Chargers with five catches for 64 yards on six targets, and he scored 11.4 PPR points. That was his first game with double digits in PPR since Week 2, and he's still looking for his first touchdown this season. Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) could return in Week 12 at Arizona after being out for the past two games, and we'll see how Thomas and Meyers work together. The Cardinals are also a tough matchup, and Arizona has allowed just five receiving touchdowns to wide receivers this season. Meyers is only worth starting in three-receiver leagues in this matchup.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Leads Jags wideouts in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Meyers caught five passes (on six targets) for 64 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
In his second game in a Jaguars uniform, Meyers operated as the team's WR1 due to the absence of Brian Thomas (ankle). Meyers finished Sunday's contest leading both teams in receptions and yards, though it was Tim Patrick who hauled in the Jaguars' lone touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence. Meyers has an 8-97-0 line (on nine targets) through his first two games as a Jaguar and has accumulated 38 catches (on 55 targets) for 416 yards through eight regular-season games. His volume will likely take a hit if Thomas is cleared to return for Jacksonville's Week 12 road clash against Arizona next Sunday.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Three grabs in Jags debut
Rotowire
Meyers caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.
Making his Jaguars debut after coming over from the Raiders at the trade deadline, Meyers had the longest reception of the day from Trevor Lawrence at 23 yards, but he was out-paced by Parker Washington in targets 7-3. Meyers will look to continue to build chemistry with his new QB in Week 11 against a familiar AFC West foe in the Chargers, and his volume should rise if Brian Thomas (ankle) remains sidelined for a second straight game.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Meyers was traded from Las Vegas to Jacksonville on Tuesday, and he might benefit this week if Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is out, along with Travis Hunter (knee) being on injured reserve. But that also means more attention from the Texans secondary, and Houston is No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Keep in mind that Meyers was having a down season before the trade with no touchdowns and five games in a row with 9.3 PPR points or less prior to Week 10. And the Texans have only allowed six receivers all season to score at least 10 PPR points, with only two touchdowns since Week 2. Meyers is only worth using in deep, three-receiver leagues.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Shipped to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Jaguars acquired Meyers from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.
A pending free agent, Meyers had made it clear that he wanted to be moved ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, and the Raiders were able to find a suitor willing to take on the remainder of the wideout's $5.25 million base salary. In Jacksonville, Meyers will fill the void at receiver left when No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter (knee) landed on injured reserve last week. As was the case in Las Vegas during games in which tight end Brock Bowers was available, Meyers will face competition for targets with Jacksonville in the form of Brian Thomas (ankle), but there should be enough volume to go around for both wideouts to remain reasonably productive. Over his seven appearances for the Raiders this season, Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and no touchdowns on 49 targets.

Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Quiet in return Sunday
Rotowire
Meyers (knee) finished with four receptions on six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Meyers joined TE Brock Bowers (knee) in returning to action out of Las Vegas' Week 8 bye after both starters missed time with minor knee injuries. The 28-year-old Meyers was unable to sniff his teammate's ridiculous 12-127-3 receiving line, instead finishing with his lowest yardage output of the season. With no touchdowns in seven games, Meyers has been a bit of a disappointment through the first half of the fantasy campaign with a 33-342-0 receiving line. If the 2-6 Raiders do not move their top trade asset before Tuesday's deadline, Meyers' next appearance will come against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.
