The Jaguars wasted little time before offering Jakobi Meyers an extension after he wasted little time before making an impact. The ink is barely dry on a contract that will pay the 29-year-old veteran $60 million over the next three years. It’s quite a raise from the contract in Las Vegas that paid him nearly half that ($11 million/year). Meyers will finish out the current season on that agreement. $40 million of the new contract is guaranteed.

Meyers played in seven games for the Raiders before he was traded to Jacksonville for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks. In six games with the Jaguars, he doubled his production on the season, while increasing his yards per reception (Y/R) dramatically and finding the endzone three times. All told, Meyers’ line as a Jaguar is 27 catches for 355 yards, the three trips to paydirt, and four rushing attempts for good measure.

After six-and-a-half years split between New England and the Raiders, it’s fair to assume the wide receiver may finish his career in Jacksonville. When the next deal expires, he’ll be 32 years of age, although at this point, he has not lost a step. The Jaguars have gone 5-1 since his addition to the lineup and now sit atop the AFC South at 10-4 and eyeing a playoff run.

Fantasy lowdown: With Brian Thomas’ struggles in 2025, the big question is which of the two will be the alpha receiver? More will be learned to that end this postseason and next spring, but the two boost each other’s fantasy value. The wildcard is rookie Travis Hunter. Will Jacksonville use this opportunity to continue utilizing Hunter more heavily on defense? Either way, Meyers stands to be drafted by fantasy teams as the No. 1 in this offense in 2026, while BTJ falls to something nearing the third round in redraft, and Hunter a far more affordable WR3 for managers further down the board.
