Jaguars’ plans for Jakobi Meyers playing in Week 10 revealed after trade

Jacksonville Jaguars I don't have much choice in how much Jakobi Meyers to use.

They traded Meyers from Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday, right before the NFL deadline.

Five days later, Meyers will be in uniform.

The 5-3 Jags are shorthanded against a 3-5 team. Texans. Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter were eliminated from the game.

Is Jakobi Meyers playing this week?

Yes, Meyers is expected to be active for the Jags on Sunday.

How much will he do?

It's less certain.

“The exact challenge is balancing what he can handle, how quickly he can upset some formations… and just going out there with Trev getting some reps in.” Jaguars coach Liam Cohen told reporters this week. “You want to give him opportunities, but also just play for the Jaguars.”

Meyers is ready to learn quickly.

“Everything new is a little challenging, but I’m excited to get through it,” Meyers said. “I want to soak up this whole experience, enjoy it and win games.”

The fantasy view of Jacobi Meyers

It's hard to trust Meyers this week.

On one hand, he will likely see 5-8 targets for the Jags.

But there's no telling how comfortable he and Trevor Lawrence will be together, and it's not a massive attack. The Texans defense they play is also solid.

Meyers can be used as a flex player, especially in PPR leagues, but shouldn't be forced into it. Here you can take a wait-and-see attitude.
