BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: You might like Jakobi Meyers and the New England Patriots more or less than any other person out there, but one thing is clear and that is that Meyers is the go-to weapon of the Patriots offense this season. So much so that, in fact, Meyers is one of only 14 WRs with 19+ targets through Week 2 of the 2022 season. Take that for data.
Mac Jones was good to make it to the field this past Sunday, adding 10 more targets to Meyers's season tally of 19 peppering him with 13 (!) against the Pittsburgh Steelers away from home. Meyers, of course, was not only targeted a lot but he also made the most of those looks hauling in nine receptions for 95 yards over the full game.
The only blemish in Meyers' season stat line is the lack of touchdowns to date but that should change at some point. Yes, he only scored two touchdowns last year, but still. Only five of the 14 WRs with 19+ targets through W2 have yet to score a touchdown, but that little five-man club includes the likes of Brandin Cooks and Diontae Johnson, so please keep calm and carry on. It will happen, just give it some time.
Meyers is already eight targets about Agholor this season with no other Patriot above seven (Jonnu Smith). Meyers is also one of the steadiest fantasy performers of the first two weeks of the season: he's had games for 10+ and 18+ PPR points for a volatility of just 4.2 FPPG, the ninth-lowest among pass catchers with an average of 14+ FPPG through W2.
