Jakobi Meyers — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
The case
- · Hit a career-high across the board in 2024 (87 catches, 1,027 yards, and 129 targets) despite missing two games, showing Meyers can still produce at a high volume when given the opportunity.
- · Proven track record of earning target volume: the Raiders fed him 9+ looks in 10 of his final 15 starts in 2024.
- · Found the end zone consistently late in two seasons — three straight TD games to close 2022, and a strong 3-TD stretch (42/496/3) after landing in Jacksonville in 2024.
- · Remarkably consistent yardage floor across his last five seasons (866, 804, 807, 1,027, and 835 yards), with a peak of 10 touchdowns in 2023.
- · Meyers had more of a bust feel last year (nine games with fewer than 10.00 PPR fantasy points. His only edge game (6/93/1) came in Week 13.
Question marks
- · The wide receiver structure for the Jaguars puts him in a WR3 role in their offense, which may not support his recent results.
- · Meyers scored only seven times across his last 31 contests.
- · For Jacksonville, Meyers averaged 11.18 PPR fantasy points over 10 matchups.
Shawn's conclusion
Like a few wideouts in the WR3 and WR4 grouping, Meyers brings a steady foundation fantasy skill set with a much better floor than ceiling. He goes from a WR1 opportunity with the Raiders and Patriots over the past few years to lowest ceiling player of their top four wideouts. My projections match his current price point in the high-stakes market, leaving both areas thinking they want a higher-impact player with the WR4 decision.
More on Meyers
Meyers' 2022 season was interrupted by a concussion and shoulder injury that cost him three games. He came out of the gate with strong three WR1 performances in his first six starts (9/95, 7/111/1, 9/60/1), before hitting a cold stretch with five uninspiring outings over the next seven weeks. He closed the year on a positive note, finding the end zone in each of his final three games (6/83/1, 6/49/1, and 3/32/1).
In 2023, Meyers reached double-digit touchdowns (10) for the first time, an elite-level output for any receiver. His receiving yards stayed remarkably consistent over three years (866, 804, and 807), and he averaged 4.7 catches per game from 2021 to 2023. He never topped 85 yards in a single game, eclipsing 20.00 fantasy points just three times in PPR formats (9/81/2, 7/75/1, and 6/81/1). Las Vegas gave him double-digit targets in four of his first seven games, then went cold on him in seven others. A concussion in Week 2 pushed him to the sidelines.
Meyers set new career highs in catches (87), receiving yards (1,027), and targets (129) while missing two games. The Raiders leaned on him heavily down the stretch, giving him nine or more targets in 10 of his final 13 starts. He posted a 17.00-point fantasy floor in six of those matchups, with highlight lines of 10/121, 9/123/1, and 8/105. Meyers finished 19th in PPR wide receiver scoring with 218.00 points.
Unfortunately, Meyers lost his fantasy momentum over his seven games with the Raiders (33/352/0 on 49 targets), crushing fantasy teams. A midseason trade to the Jaguars revived their passing attack, and his success on the field (42/496/3). His best value came from Week 12 to Week 14 (4/50/1, 6/90/1, and 4/39/1).
