The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders at last season's trade deadline and saw immediate returns. Meyers made his team debut in a Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans before Jacksonville closed the 2025 regular season on an eight-game winning streak. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence also enjoyed arguably the best stretch of his career after Meyers arrived, producing as the fantasy QB1 from Week 10 on with 2,100 passing yards and 25 total touchdowns. During that same span, Meyers posted WR18 fantasy numbers by hauling in 42 receptions for 483 yards and three scores. Still, it's fair to question Meyers' role entering 2026 as a member of one of the NFL's most intriguing receiver corps. Parker Washington broke out late last season and carried that momentum into Jacksonville's playoff appearance, while Brian Thomas Jr. endured a disappointing follow-up to his elite rookie campaign. Then there's Travis Hunter (knee), who is expected to be healthy for training camp but is far from guaranteed to serve as a focal point offensively and could even see an increased defensive workload in his second season. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Jacksonville's pass catchers, Meyers has one clear advantage: financial investment. The Jaguars signed the 29-year-old to a three-year, $60 million extension that includes $40 million guaranteed, making him one of the league's 25 highest-paid receivers. With a full offseason to become more comfortable in Liam Coen's system, Meyers could surprise fantasy managers who draft him as a WR3 or flex option this year.--Jorden Hill
