Jakobi Meyers

Week 13 at Los Angeles Chargers
Jakobi Meyers has returned WR2 production over the last six weeks as the focal point of the Patriots' low-volume passing game. Meyers has established himself as a target hog when the Patriots do decide to throw the ball, but we have also seen that New England's preferred style would be to run the ball as much as possible when matchup and game script allows for it. The Chargers have some solid defensive backs in their secondary, and teams have generally had more success attacking them on the ground. Meyers is a shaky WR3 at best in Week 13.

Week 11 at Houston Texans
Jakobi Meyers continues to dominate wide receiver targets in New England. Meyers hasn't finished a game with fewer than six targets in a month and has a whopping 37 catches over his last four games. Meyers's target share over the last month is among that of the game's elite wide receivers. Of course, the limitations of the Patriots offense cap the ceiling of every pass catcher on the team, and there is a possibility the Patriots come out and dominate Houston on the ground which would spell trouble for Meyers's fantasy prospects. That being said, Meyers's volume is too good to ignore and he can be started as a flex play in a good matchup.

Week 17 vs Miami Dolphins
Jakobi Meyers has certainly done enough with his opportunities as an undrafted rookie wide receiver to expect his role to continue to grow in the New England offense next year. Right now, Meyers is the fourth wide receiver on the Patriots' depth chart, and that's just not fantasy-viable. Meyers saw just a 14% snap share in Week 15 and a 7% share in Week 16, and only an injury to one of the receivers ahead of him would make him a potential fantasy consideration during the NFL playoffs. For Week 17, Meyers is best left in the free-agent pool even against a Dolphins defense sporting the lowest-ranked wide receiver aFPA.
