Jakobi Meyers has been a hallmark of consistency for NFL Wide Receivers. Despite dealing with frequent changes with his quarterback position, Meyers has managed to produce increasing returns each year:
To put this into perspective, Garrett Wilson, a player worth a first-round pick in superflex leagues, had 165 points last season. This shows that Meyers’ performances are undervalued by the fantasy football community.
In his final college season, Meyers recorded 1,047 yards and 4 touchdowns, showing his potential. Despite his undrafted status, he managed to make a name for himself on the New England Patriots, gradually increasing his yardage and consistency year after year. His story from undrafted to “Mr. Consistent” in the NFL has been nothing short of impressive, and he is now under contract with the Las Vegas Raiders through the 2025 season.
While Meyers is competing for targets in a competitive offense in Las Vegas, his consistency still can’t be overlooked. He will be sharing the field with Devante Adams, Zamir White, and possible up-and-comer Tre Tucker. The Raiders also drafted tight end Brock Bowers, adding another contender for targets. However, Meyers has already proven that he can thrive despite competition and inconsistencies in his surroundings. Further, Gardner Minshew was identified apart of our “Does It Matter?” analytics series where he has a high probability of having a great season. His consistency, and the potential of Gardner Minshew makes him less of a risk and more of a solid investment, especially considering his current price.
Currently, Jakobi Meyers can be acquired for a late second or early third-round pick in Superflex leagues. Given his previous consistent performances and his contract going through the next two seasons, this is an excellent value for both rebuilding and contending fantasy teams. Players available at this price typically come with higher risk and obviously less proven track records than what Meyers brings to the table.
While there are some concerns regarding his target competition in Las Vegas, Jakobi Meyers remains a reliable buy for both rebuilding and contending teams. His consistent production, despite frequent quarterback changes and competitive environments, showcases his high skill set and ability to improve. If you can afford the price, adding Meyers to your roster is a great move that can be league winning, especially considering the current price.
