Jakobi Meyers misses practice Friday after a limited practice Thursday (hamstring/ankle); questionable

Jakobi Meyers did not practise Friday after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring and ankle issue. The Jaguars listed him questionable for Sunday's home game against Indianapolis, meaning managers should check the inactive list about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

A limited practice is not a guarantee he plays, though reports suggest no real risk of sitting out Sunday. If active, Meyers faces Indianapolis, which allows 23.9 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 9th fewest of 32. His role has delivered 6.8 half-PPR points a game over the last three weeks, with 5.7 targets, 81% of snaps and a 17% target share, though his recent usage is worth more than those points suggest.

Jakobi Meyers

Meyers averaged 6.8 half-PPR points a game over his last three weeks on 5.7 targets, 3.3 receptions and 51 receiving yards per contest, with an 81% snap share and 17% target share. He is scoring 2.4 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts (145th of 176 receivers), meaning his role is worth more than his recent points. His expected points over the last three games sit at 9.2 per outing, while he is actually averaging 6.8, suggesting room for better production when his opportunities translate.

Week 6 against Houston brought 5 catches for 83 yards on 10 targets with a 75% snap share and 24% target share, good for 10.8 half-PPR points. Parker Washington commanded 11 targets that day to Meyers' 10, while Brian Thomas Jr. ran just 21% of routes with 2 targets and Josh Cameron took no targets on 51% of snaps. Our models project 7.1 half-PPR points a game when healthy. If cleared to play Sunday, Meyers is a risky WR3 or flex against a defence that allows the 9th fewest half-PPR points to receivers, with the hamstring and ankle concerns casting doubt over his ceiling.

What to do

• Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm Jakobi Meyers' availability against Indianapolis.

• If active, view Meyers as a risky WR3 or flex with upside limited by his health and a defence allowing the 9th fewest points to receivers.

• Have a backup plan ready in case Meyers is ruled out, as his questionable tag and Friday absence make his status uncertain.
