Analyze Jakobi Meyers's matchup for week 11
Fresh off a trade to Jacksonville and with the Jaguars’ top two wideouts sidelined, Jakobi Meyers is in line for 7-10 targets and low-end WR2/FLEX value in Week 11 despite last week’s quiet debut.
Tennessee enters Week 11 allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing WRs, surrendering 14 TDs to the position and a 68% catch rate. With Brian Thomas Jr. (high-ankle) and Travis Hunter (IR) out, Meyers steps into a near-empty target tree alongside Parker Washington. Expect a heavy dose of short-to-intermediate routes where Meyers has thrived—he’s posted 67-plus catches and 800-plus yards in four straight seasons and handled a 22% target share earlier this year with the Raiders.
After a six-target, 4-23 debut in Houston—understandable given three days of prep—Meyers’ snap share jumped to 82% by the second half, a clear sign the coaching staff plans to feature him.
Volume is king in fantasy, and Meyers is about to get it in spades. Over the past two seasons, the Titans have allowed the fifth-most receptions (305) and eighth-most receiving yards (3,412) to wide receivers, and their slot coverage has been particularly generous—no team has given up more catches to inside receivers since Week 8. Meyers ran 73% of his Week 10 snaps from the slot, the exact spot Tennessee just let Calvin Ridley and company carve up for 9-98-1. Expect a conservative game plan that funnels quick hitters to Meyers on early downs, keeping Trevor Lawrence out of third-and-long against a pass rush that ranks bottom-10 in pressure rate. The Jaguars’ banged-up offensive line is a concern, but Meyers’ 2.3-second average time-to-target should mitigate sacks and keep drives alive. Finally, red-zone usage is trending his way: he saw two inside-the-20 looks last week after Jacksonville totaled only five such targets to WRs in Weeks 8-9. All told, Meyers profiles as a high-floor, moderate-ceiling FLEX who could creep into WR2 territory if one of those end-zone targets turns into six.
