Jakobi Meyers absolutely popped off in Week 3, snagging seven of his eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars’ win over the New England Patriots. This isn’t just another box score line; it’s a massive shift for a guy who’d been quiet, and everyone should be paying attention.
From Preseason Buzz to Week 3 Breakout
Remember all that talk about Meyers turning heads back in preseason camp? Well, it finally translated to the field in a big way. The first two games felt like a total wash, with him only getting targeted three times. Turns out, he was battling a thumb injury, which definitely explains the slow start. But he shook that off hard this past week, making it clear he’s more than just a bench guy.
The New Pecking Order in Jacksonville?
Here’s the real kicker: Brian Thomas Jr. has been a ghost on the stat sheet, contributing practically nothing to the box score. With Meyers stepping up like this, it’s gotta make you wonder about the Jaguars’ receiving corps. Meyers looks like a genuine quality WR4 option right now, and honestly, he probably deserves to be starting over BTJ. This performance makes him someone you absolutely have to keep an eye on moving forward.
This Week 3 showing is no fluke. Meyers is worth monitoring, especially after what he just pulled off. Let’s see if he keeps this momentum going.
