Meyers had a quiet start to the season with three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets in the first two games against Cleveland and Denver, but he exploded in Week 3 against New England with seven catches for 64 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. He should have the chance to play well again in Week 4 against the Bengals. This should be a high-scoring game -- it has the highest-projected total of 51.5 points -- and Cincinnati cornerback D.J. Turner will likely spend most of his time on Brian Thomas Jr. That makes Thomas a sit in most leagues, and Parker Washington is a must-start receiver in all leagues. Meyers should also be productive, and he should be considered a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all formats.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited with thumb issue
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Meyers dealt with the thumb issue last week but ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into last Sunday's blowout win over the Patriots, where the veteran wideout hung a 7-64-1 receiving line on eight targets. Playing as a clear starter ahead of Brian Thomas, Meyers has 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets through three games this season.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Avoids injury designation
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Meyers quietly leads the Jaguars with an 86 percent route share, but he's been targeted on just 6 percent of his routes, taking a backseat to Parker Washington and Brian Thomas, in that order. Thomas' sloppy play in a Week 2 loss at Denver could perhaps push more volume in Meyers' direction, though that's likely to happen in any case even if his thumb injury continues to linger.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was a limited participant Thursday.
The Jaguars put a cap on Meyers' reps for the second day in a row, but head coach Liam Coen hasn't provided any indication that the wideout is at any real risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Patriots while he continues to manage a right thumb injury that dates back to training camp. Meyers played through the thumb issue in the first two contests of the season, recording three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
The veteran has been held back in practice for much of the season due to a thumb issue, but it hasn't prevented him from suiting up on Sundays. Look for the Jaguars to continue to manage Meyers' injury cautiously in practices to keep him fresh on gamedays. The wideout still looks to be on track to play Week 3 versus the Patriots.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Draws one target in Week 2
Rotowire
Meyers secured his only target for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.
On a day Trevor Lawrence threw for just 189 yards on 29 attempts, Parker Washington and Brian Thomas combined to see 20 of those targets. Meyers dealt with a thumb injury during the practice week but still led all wideouts with 54 snaps against Denver, running a team-high 29 routes. Through two games, Meyers has just three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets. He's tough to get behind as anything more than a fantasy WR4 ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Meyers (thumb) was limited at Friday's practice but doesn't have an injury designation for Week 2 at Denver, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Brian Thomas (shoulder) also avoided an injury designation despite being limited in practice throughout the week. He picked up his injury during the Week 1 win over Cleveland, whereas Meyers is listed with the same thumb injury that he played through successfully in the season 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.
