Jakobi Meyers is a 2021 fantasy football draft sleeper at wide receiver and an ADP draft value. Target Meyers as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~165
ANALYSIS: Things just got interesting with the release of Cam Newton. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones will be the starter immediately, and several players will likely benefit. Enter Jakobi Meyers.
Nelson Agholor was signed to claim the WR1 job in New England but Meyers has been more impressive in the preseason and may be ready to take another step forward in the 2021 season. He was actually the top receiver on the Patriots last year but it only took 729 yards to claim that honor. Overall, the 24-year-old posted 59 receptions for 729 yards on 81 targets in the 2020 season.
The team signed two proficient pass-catching tight ends in Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith in the off-season, so it may be best to temper expectations at first. But Meyers does figure to get a healthy target share this year, and if Jones acclimates to the pros quickly it could turn out to be an even better season for Meyers than originally expected. With that being said, his ADP is still a bit low, especially for PPR formats. He can prove to be a sneaky mid-to-late round pick in fantasy football drafts, and return a nice value on his reasonable draft day cost.
