Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited production in Week 5
Rotowire
Meyers caught two of three targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win against the Eagles.
Meyers was limited to 40 or fewer receiving yards for the fourth time this season, and he finished tied with running back Bhayshul Tuten for fourth on the team in targets Sunday. Meyers has solidified himself as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Parker Washington early in the season, but his production hasn't been that notable. Through five games, Meyers has caught 15 of 18 targets for 202 yards and two touchdowns.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Three catches in win
Rotowire
Meyers caught three of four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win against the Bengals.
Meyers finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Brenton Strange (8), but his performance was far from noteworthy. The wide receiver has operated as a distant No. 2 option behind Parker Washington at his position this season, and Sunday's performance was his third game with 40 or fewer receiving yards over four contests this season.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Meyers had a quiet start to the season with three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets in the first two games against Cleveland and Denver, but he exploded in Week 3 against New England with seven catches for 64 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. He should have the chance to play well again in Week 4 against the Bengals. This should be a high-scoring game -- it has the highest-projected total of 51.5 points -- and Cincinnati cornerback D.J. Turner will likely spend most of his time on Brian Thomas Jr. That makes Thomas a sit in most leagues, and Parker Washington is a must-start receiver in all leagues. Meyers should also be productive, and he should be considered a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all formats.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Good to go for Week 4
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
With limited listings earlier in the week, Meyers practiced fully Friday and is fine for his normal workload against Cincinnati. Meyers was targeted a season-high eight times last Sunday against the Patriots but otherwise has just 11 targets on the season. He's a low-floor WR4 for fantasy, but this game does have some shootout appeal.

Meyers (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The Jaguars have been restricting Meyers' practice activity through the four weeks of the regular season after he jammed his right thumb during a joint practice with Carolina in training camp, but the issue hasn't kept him from suiting up on gamedays. He's expected to cleared to play Sunday in Cincinnati following Friday's practice.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited with thumb issue
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Meyers dealt with the thumb issue last week but ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into last Sunday's blowout win over the Patriots, where the veteran wideout hung a 7-64-1 receiving line on eight targets. Playing as a clear starter ahead of Brian Thomas, Meyers has 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets through three games this season.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Avoids injury designation
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Meyers quietly leads the Jaguars with an 86 percent route share, but he's been targeted on just 6 percent of his routes, taking a backseat to Parker Washington and Brian Thomas, in that order. Thomas' sloppy play in a Week 2 loss at Denver could perhaps push more volume in Meyers' direction, though that's likely to happen in any case even if his thumb injury continues to linger.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was a limited participant Thursday.
The Jaguars put a cap on Meyers' reps for the second day in a row, but head coach Liam Coen hasn't provided any indication that the wideout is at any real risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Patriots while he continues to manage a right thumb injury that dates back to training camp. Meyers played through the thumb issue in the first two contests of the season, recording three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
The veteran has been held back in practice for much of the season due to a thumb issue, but it hasn't prevented him from suiting up on Sundays. Look for the Jaguars to continue to manage Meyers' injury cautiously in practices to keep him fresh on gamedays. The wideout still looks to be on track to play Week 3 versus the Patriots.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Draws one target in Week 2
Rotowire
Meyers secured his only target for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.
On a day Trevor Lawrence threw for just 189 yards on 29 attempts, Parker Washington and Brian Thomas combined to see 20 of those targets. Meyers dealt with a thumb injury during the practice week but still led all wideouts with 54 snaps against Denver, running a team-high 29 routes. Through two games, Meyers has just three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets. He's tough to get behind as anything more than a fantasy WR4 ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union, Meyers was donning a non-contact jersey for the second day in a row while aiming to protect his injured right thumb. The fact that he's practiced in some fashion during the first two days of Week 1 prep is generally a positive sign for Meyers' status heading into Sunday's game against the Browns, but he may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Dons non-contact jersey Thursday
Rotowire
Meyers (thumb) was spotted in a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Meyers is practicing in a non-contact jersey for a second consecutive day after being listed as limited at Wednesday's practice. He'll have one more chance Friday to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Browns. Two-way player Travis Hunter and rookie Day 3 draft picks Josh Cameron and CJ Williams would be candidates to receive playing time alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington if Meyers misses any game action due to his lingering thumb injury.

Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union, Meyers sported a non-contact jersey during the open portion of Wednesday's session, though he was ultimately able to do enough work to garner a limited listing. Per John Shipley of SI.com, Meyers said after practice that he expects to play Sunday against the Browns, though he may need to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend.

Meyers (hand) will participate in Wednesday's practice session, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Meyers has been out of action since injuring his hand during a joint practice with the Panthers nearly two weeks ago, but he is set to return to the field Wednesday. With Meyers cleared to get some work in, it seems likely he is on track to take the field Week 1 against the Browns.

Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Sporting brace on right hand
Rotowire
Head coach Liam Coen said after Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers that Meyers jammed his right hand during Wednesday's joint practice with Carolina, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Meyers was wearing a brace on his right hand while observing Friday's exhibition contest from the sidelines. It's unclear whether the veteran wideout will be cleared to practice in the upcoming week, but the injury could prevent him from suiting up for Jacksonville's preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Friday, Aug. 28. Any time that Meyers misses means Travis Hunter and rookie sixth-rounders Josh Cameron and C.J. Williams would be in line for more reps alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington (undisclosed).

The Jaguars will host the Bills in the wild-card round next weekend.
