Outlook Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers vs. Texans in London — Serviceable PPR Flex Option

Operating as a starting outside receiver opposite Brian Thomas Jr., Meyers heads to London healthy after trending upward in Jacksonville's offense earlier this month. While his target volume cooled to seven looks over his last two games following a Week 3 touchdown, he remains a dependable perimeter target for Trevor Lawrence.

Our weekly projection slates him for 9.2 fantasy points on roughly 3.4 receptions and 42 receiving yards. Started in 29% of leagues, Meyers is a sensible, floor-based Flex play against Houston, though a modest 42.5 over/under and injuries along the offensive line slightly temper his ceiling.
