Jakobi Meyers Fantasy Overview

2025 Role & Results

Production & Fantasy Finishes

Meyers' 2025 season needs to be split in two. The full-year line, WR32 overall with 175.8 PPR points across 16 games and 11.0 points per game (WR39 in FPTS/G), looks solid but unspectacular. He averaged 9.7 PPR points per game (61st among 112 WRs with 25+ targets) from Weeks 1-9 on the Raiders. The move to Jacksonville is what really changed his fantasy value.

From Week 11 on (Meyers played just 43.5% of snaps in his Week 10 Jags debut), the veteran led Jacksonville with a 23.5% target share scoring 12.7 PPR points per game (24th). He finished WR11 in expected points per game over that stretch.

Usage & Role

That production came despite a major role shift. Meyers went from a 61.9% slot rate with the Raiders to just 24.8% after the trade to Jacksonville, and he still produced.

Meyers has proven effective out wide. He played 71.8% of snaps out wide in 2023 and 65.8% in 2024, both under HC Antonio Pierce on the Raiders. That was a change from Meyers’ four years on the Patriots where he never topped 40% out wide.

His target share history shows that 23.5% mark fell in line with what Meyers had commanded previously:

When Meyers is operating as a featured receiver with a defined role, he consistently commands a target share in the low-to-mid 20s. That's not a fluke, it's a pattern that held up even when changing teams. That relative low point in 2023 came in the lone full season Meyers shared with Davante Adams.

Efficiency & Regression

Meyers fits PPR because he works in short and intermediate areas, where the targets are easier to complete. His 9.4-yard aDOT in 2025 ranked 57th among 76 WRs with 50+ targets, shorter than Brian Thomas' 14.5 (fourth) and Parker Washington's 13.1 (21st).

That was the lowest aDOT of Meyers’ career. His next lowest seasons were 9.8 in 2021 and 2023. But, it remains fairly in line with his career. Meyers has never topped a 10.8 aDOt in any single season.

His 1.71 YPRR with Jacksonville ranked ahead of Thomas's 1.50 for the full season, but fell short of Washington’s 2.06.

Meyers ranked second in every meaningful efficiency category. He beat Thomas in YPRR, TPRR, PFF grade, and ESPN score.

2026 Opportunity & Projection

Projected Role & Competition

No Jaguar drew more targets than Meyers after he arrived in Week 10. Jacksonville affirmed its commitment in December with a three-year $60 million extension that included $30 million in guarantees. The $20 million annual average ranks 25th among all WRs.

Meyers will be operating in the same offense under the same head coach and coordinator, and he gets a full offseason to build on the chemistry he established with Lawrence after the trade.

Supporting Cast

The competition looks the same as well. Thomas, Washington, and Brenton Strange all remain. Hunter does as well, but he’s expected to significantly increase his defensive role, which figures to limit his offensive snap count at least a bit.

Meyers still feels fairly insulated because his job as Lawrence's primary underneath option is so clearly defined. He commonly stayed on the field in two-WR sets, and his 9.7-yard aDOT sat more than 2 yards shorter than those of Thomas (14.8) and Washington (13.1). That all gives Meyers an easier catch profile and a higher floor than his teammates.

Coen's offense is also a natural fit for a WR to earn targets. His system generated a 4.3% pass rate over expected in 2025. Plus, RB Travis Etienne’s departure in free agency leaves uncertainty in the backfield. That could increase the lean on the passing game.

Paths To Ceiling

Meyers has posted four straight finishes as WR30 or higher and three straight as a low-end WR2 in PPR fantasy points per game:

• 2019: WR118
• 2020: WR57
• 2021: WR40
• 2022: WR30
• 2023: WR24
• 2024: WR23
• 2025: WR24 (over nine games with Jaguars)

These also came with less than stellar QBs: Mac Jones, Aidan O’Connell, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Gardner Minshew (before he joined the Jaguars).

So we know Meyers is capable of reaching WR2 territory in fantasy production, and the playing time and contract he got from Jacksonville in 2025 seem to present little risk of him falling through WR3 range.

Meyers won’t ever be an exciting fantasy option, but he’s a steady producer unlikely to let you down.
