ESPN analyst highlights Jakobi Meyers as a fantasy target for 2026
Summary

ESPN fantasy analyst Eric Moody has identified Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers as a potential target for fantasy football managers this season. Meyers had an impressive 2024, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards, and has consistently topped 800 yards over the last five seasons. After joining the Jaguars midseason, he developed chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, leading the team in receptions per game with 4.7. With the departure of running back Travis Etienne Jr., who had the team's most receiving touchdowns, Meyers may benefit from increased opportunities in the passing game. His average draft position is currently as the No. 41 receiver, making him a potentially undervalued pick compared to teammates Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, who are projected to receive more targets.
