Jakobi Meyers Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing New England Patriots free-agent wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to a three-year, $33 million deal on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal contains $21 million guaranteed. Meyers has ties to head coach Josh McDaniels, and he'll pair nicely with Davante Adams as another weapon for new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The 26-year-old was one of the best wideouts available on the open market this year, and he's already off the board. He was New England's top receiver the last two years and caught 67 of his 96 targets in 2022 for 804 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. Meyers only has eight touchdowns in his four NFL seasons, though, and he could take a step back for fantasy managers in Vegas while in the shadow of Adams.

New England Patriots impending free-agent wide receiver Jakobi Meyers could receive the biggest contract among a thin group of free-agent receivers this offseason. He has talked to the Patriots about a new deal, but the two sides haven't made much progress, so it sounds like Meyers will hit the open market when the new league year begins on March 15. The 26-year-old was New England's most reliable pass-catcher in 2022, catching 67 passes for 804 yards and six touchdowns. Meyers also finished last year by scoring a touchdown in three straight games. His fantasy value could be on the rise if he leaves the Patriots, but it will depend on where he lands.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has reportedly not made much progress on a contract extension with the organization, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. That being said, it seems likely that Meyers will hit the open market on March 15th. It is speculated that Meyers could get a deal similar to that of fellow wide receiver Christian Kirk. If that's true, Meyers would get a deal worth $18 million per season, but which is technically in the Patriots budget. However, it's unlikely that they will want to spend that much money in one place. Possibly, Meyers returns to New England if his other deals fall short in free agency. It seems more likely than not that Meyers will be playing with another organization next season. His fantasy value is going to be determined on wherever he lands this offseason.
