BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New England is out of the postseason for the first time in ages. A certain Tom Brady left the franchise this season, and HC Bill Belichick couldn't keep the streak going all by himself. Even in the worst season the team has had in years, and playing under a very middling QB in washed-up Cam Newton, Jakobi Meyers still has found a way to succeed. Kudos to the man, because the situation is rather horrid around those places.
Meyers has had six games of 10+ PPR points this season, half of those he's played. If we're honest, though, we can throw away his first three matches of the year (he just played seven, eight, and seven snaps in those) and we'll have a much better picture of Meyers' true self. The second-year man has doubled pretty much all of his numbers from 2019, and even though he's appeared in 12 games compared to Damiere Byrd's 14, he leads all Patriots receivers with 117.8 PPR points to Byrd's second-best 109.1.
After four rather bad weeks (topping at 10.2 PPR in Week 12), Meyers came back to his best ways yesterday reaching 16.1 PPR points in a losing effort. He caught 7 of 10 targets for 111 yards, but he also fumbled a ball. When Newton looks for Meyers, Meyers provides the goods. He was targeted 7+ times in the W8-W10 span, and he finished those three games with scores of 13.8, 28.9, and 17.9 PPR points.
As long as Meyers keeps being targeted as a WR1--which happened again yesterday--he will be a WR2-floor player with WR1 upside if things go well for him and the Pats' offense. That might not be the case next weekend (Buffalo ranks 8th-best against fantasy WRs) but this deep into the season it is going to be hard for you to find many better players with a seemingly clear WR1 role and WR2 fantasy-floor. Must-add in deep leagues and not the worst FLEX streamer for those needy of an option come next weekend.
