Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Nine targets in Week 17 win
Rotowire
Meyers caught six of nine targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.
Meyers fumbled on a failed lateral attempt to Travis Etienne in the first quarter, but the veteran wide receiver was otherwise his usual steady self. This was Meyers' seventh consecutive game with at least four catches, and he has at least 39 receiving yards in all eight of his appearances for the Jaguars after coming over from the Raiders in a midseason trade. Meyers will remain a reliable target in the short and intermediate range when the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South in a Week 18 home game against the Titans.
Meyers recorded four receptions on eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. He added one rush for one yard.
Parker Washington took over as the Jaguars' top pass catcher in the win, though Meyers still managed eight targets -- his second-highest mark with the team. He failed to record a catch on his first three opportunities, though he managed to make a 25-yard reception just before halftime, setting up a field goal. Meyers continues to have a consistent role in the team's offense, though he's now been held to 50 yards or fewer in four of seven games with the Jaguars.

Meyers and the Jaguars agreed to terms on a three-year, $60 million extension Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
This new contract includes $40 million in guarantees. Since arriving in Jacksonville at the trade deadline in early November, Meyers has helped the Jaguars go 5-1 by hauling in 27 of 38 targets for 355 yards and three touchdowns during that span. He'll now be tied to the organization through the 2028 campaign.
Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Seven targets tie for team lead
Rotowire
Meyers caught five of seven targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets.
Meyers saw his touchdown streak end at three games, but he remained heavily involved, tying Brian Thomas for the team lead in targets while finishing two receiving yards shy of Travis Etienne's team-high total. Meyers is locked in as a key piece of a surging Jaguars offense that has averaged 33.3 points in six games since acquiring the veteran wide receiver in a trade with the Raiders. Denver's elite defense will try to slow Meyers and the Jaguars down in Week 16.
