C.J. Williams Sees Large Role in Jaguars Offense on Saturday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver C.J. Williams got an extended look in Saturday's 24-20 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints. With most of Jacksonville's starters held out, the rookie started and drew five targets, catching two passes for 28 yards. His longest gain came midway through the second quarter, when Carter Bradley found him for 17 yards. Head coach Liam Coen called Williams and fellow rookie Josh Cameron "solid" afterward while noting how many young players were getting their first NFL game action. Williams was a sixth-round pick out of Stanford after catching 59 passes for 749 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. He's currently listed behind Jakobi Meyers on the Jaguars' first unofficial depth chart, so Saturday's workload shouldn't be confused with a regular-season starting role. Still, five targets in his first preseason game gave Jacksonville a long look at Williams, and he should have more chances to separate himself in the receiver competition

Travis Hunter says he wants to play every snap after putting on a show in practice
Travis Hunter, the Jaguars' wide receiver/cornerback, expressed his desire to play every offensive and defensive snap after an impressive practice performance. Hunter, who previously played significant snaps on both sides of the ball at Colorado, is expected to feature more on defense for the Jaguars. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence acknowledged Hunter's talent and playmaking ability but deferred to coaches for deployment decisions, highlighting the team's offensive depth

Brian Thomas Jr.: I want to be undeniable
Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. would like to put the 2025 season in the rearview mirror. Thomas had 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns after being drafted in the first round in 2024, but his second season halted all talk of him jumping right to the top of the list of NFL wideouts. Thomas caught less than half of the balls thrown his way and he was credited with 10 drops en route to 48 catches for 707 yards and two touchdowns. The drop in production led to trade chatter this offseason, but the Jaguars were quick to shut it down and call Thomas a big part of their plans for 2026. That talk and other doubts about his upside still found their way to Thomas and he credits a conversation with his father for putting him in the right mindset to bounce back. “We heard everything that was going on, all that, but he just told me, ‘Come out here and be undeniable ,’” Thomas said, via Mark Lane of the Associated Press. “That’s just something I live by every day. I want to be undeniable.” Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington stepped up as the team’s most reliable wideouts during a 13-4 season, so Jacksonville has a full deck of options in the passing game. They’d still like to see Thomas get back to something close to that undeniable rookie form as they try to defend their division title this fall

Jaguars Host Zay Jones for a Visit on Monday
The Jacksonville Jaguars hosted free-agent wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) for a visit on Monday, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Jones, a former second-round selection by the Buffalo Bills in the 2017 draft from East Carolina, spent his ninth year in the NFL in 2025 with the Arizona Cardinals and had only 12 receptions on 18 targets for 183 yards and zero touchdowns in eight games played before he suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in Week 10. If the 31-year-old veteran were to land in Jacksonville, he'd be hard-pressed to see the field much in what is already a pretty crowded receiver room with the likes of Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Jones had a career-high 823 receiving yards and 82 receptions on 121 targets in 2022 with the Jaguars, so it would be a reunion with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. His career high of seven touchdowns came all the way back in his second year in the league with the Bills in 2018 in 16 games played. Jones will remain off the fantasy football radar in the vast majority of leagues, even if he signs with the Jaguars during training camp

2 All-Important Jaguars to Watch at 2026 Training Camp
2026 NFL training camps are about to kick off around the league, turning America’s attention back from fútbol to football. Travis and I will be out at the Miller Electric Center throughout the next few weeks to report back on your Jacksonville Jaguars. While he monitors several positional battles , I’ll be keeping an eye on two players in particular. Jacksonville’s skill player lineup for 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WRs) looks impressive on paper. The starting receivers will be Brian Thomas Jr. , Parker Washington , and Jakobi Meyers ; the top tight end will be Brenton Strange ; and the lead running back role will rotate between Bhayshul Tuten , Chris Rodriguez Jr. , and LeQuint Allen Jr. The Jaguars are equipped for lighter packages as well. 10 personnel (1 RB, 0 TEs, 4 WRs) would allow Travis Hunter to play alongside those aforementioned wideouts, while 21 personnel (2 RBs, 1 TE, 2 WRs) — specifically, “pony” packages that field two receiving-capable backs as opposed to a tailback and a fullback — is another potential wrinkle to create schematic advantages. But what about when the offense wants to put heavier bodies on the field? Liam Coen could experiment with jumbo packages that add an extra offensive lineman to the equation, as he did on 108 snaps (sixth-most in the NFL) in his first year as Jaguars head coach. But that was more so a necessity than a luxury. About halfway through the 2025 season, Strange was placed on injured reserve, Hunter Long and Quintin Morris missed five combined games, and Johnny Mundt was at one point a healthy scratch. A lack of tight end availability gave way to more jumbo package opportunities. Plays with extra offensive linemen will still be part of Coen’s offense, but he’ll want to scale back those looks in favor of ones with multiple tight ends. The return of 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WRs) and 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs, 1 WR) to a league ruled by three-receiver sets is perhaps the top schematic story of this offseason. Jacksonville re-signed Morris before selecting two tight ends, Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol, in a draft that saw 22 tight ends in total go off the board (most since 2002). As a nearly-25-year-old prospect with just 38 career receptions, the selection of Boerkircher at No. 56 overall originally caught observers off guard. He’s an intriguing athlete, sure, but a near-top-50 selection? For someone who projects to be a No. 2 tight end? Really? Really. The Jags liked Morris enough to bring him back, and Long is still on the roster, but they’re hoping to see Boerkircher earn a Week 1 role as a complementary piece to Strange. During OTAs in June, Coen hinted toward a larger receiving workload for his top tight end so long as Boerkircher can hold up as a blocker. “As much as man, we love Brenton Strange blocking and he’s so tough, he wants to do it, he’s physical, he’ll bite you. He also missed some time last year … when you look at when he has production what our record looks like, it’s kind of interesting to see. And so, allowing Brenton to continue to do what he does well, but also to maybe take some of that wear and tear, some of the pounding that it takes when you’re blocking the Travon Walkers of the world and Josh Hines-Allens of the world, getting him matched up more on those linebackers and safeties and now he’s an advantage for us. Now we have an edge. So, we always feel good about Strange blocking at the point of attack, but we needed some help there. Being able to provide Strange an option to go maybe split out or go block other people that maybe keep him out of some of those one-on-one big situations, I think that’s going to help us tremendously.” I’m prepared to be underwhelmed by Boerkircher’s impact in the pass game for the duration of his rookie season. However, if he can hold his own in the trenches as early as training camp, I’ll feel much more comfortable about the flexibility of Coen’s offense entering the 2026 season.

Jakobi Meyers is Undervalued by Current Redraft ADP
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is entering his first full season in Jacksonville in 2026. The 29-year-old was highly productive for the Jaguars last season, recording 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games. From Week 10 onwards, Meyers ranked as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring. In 2026, Jacksonville could get healthier seasons out of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way player Travis Hunter (knee), which might limit Meyers' target opportunities. However, Hunter's involvement on offense remains a question mark, and Thomas Jr. has yet to prove established chemistry with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville committed to Meyers with a three-year, $60 million contract extension, so the team clearly views him as an important piece of its offense. At his current redraft ADP of WR42, Meyers is a high-floor sleeper to target

Jalen Nailor a Lock to Post Career Numbers in First Year in Vegas?
The Athletic's Sam Warren writes that "all signs point to" wide receiver Jalen Nailor "having a chance to post career numbers" in his first year with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2026. The Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars last November, but Nailor was the lone premium addition the team made at receiver this offseason, giving the 27-year-old a clear opportunity to produce like he never has before in his NFL career. In his four years with the Minnesota Vikings after they took him in the sixth round in 2022 out of Michigan State, Nailor was always a depth option behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, never having more than 29 catches or 444 receiving yards in a single season. Not only does Nailor have the opportunity to be the Raiders' WR1 in 2026, but he joins the organization with established chemistry with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and head coach Klint Kubiak from their Vikings days. Nailor's 2026 fantasy value could fade a bit if the Raiders add a player like Stefon Diggs to their roster before the start of the regular season, but for now, he should be considered a strong late-round selection at the WR position with volume upside. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 64 WR for the upcoming season

2026 NFL WR dynamic duo rankings: Cowboys' Cee Dee Lamb-George Pickens tandem among elite
While the run game has seen a resurgence in both volume and efficiency in recent seasons, the NFL remains, at its heart, a passing league in the modern era. Because it is a passing league, the value of both quarterbacks and pass catchers keeps increasing. We've seen it in recent years, with an explosion in wide receiver salaries, with superstars topping $40 million in average annual value. A superstar wideout can tilt the field in the offense's favor through both his production and the attention he draws, and that has never been more valuable. But what's more valuable than one star wideout? Well, two star wideouts, obviously. With that in mind, we here at CBS Sports decided to take a look at the top wide receiver duos in the NFL. There are plenty of dual-star duos, as well as some buoyed by one mega-star who teams with another quality player to form an elite pairing. Right now, we think there is a clear-cut top two, another tier of three and then another tier of three after that. That gives us a clear-cut top eight, with the rest of the league filling in behind. In the space below, we're going to rank those top eight duos. But before we do, we also wanted to include some honorable mentions. Honorable(-ish) Mentions: Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall ( 49ers ), Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III ( Bears ), DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir ( Bills ), Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin ( Buccaneers ), Alec Pierce and Josh Downs ( Colts ), DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon ( Eagles ), Brian Thomas Jr . and Jakobi Meyers ( Jaguars ), Christian Watson and Jayden Reed ( Packers ), Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson ( Saints ), DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. ( Steelers ) This Seahawks pairing would be higher on the list if we had confidence in which of Shaheed or Cooper Kupp would actually be the No. 2 wide receiver, and that they would be able to consolidate that role while the other would slide further into the background. As it stands, it's more of a target vacuum in JSN, with a couple of guys competing for second-string targets among a host of tight ends and running backs. JSN is coming off one of the better receiver seasons in recent memory, though, so he alone is enough to power the Seahawks into the top 10 of these rankings. And I could easily see them ranking much higher next year, if Shaheed consolidates the role behind him. We've got another new duo on tap here, with both players new to New England this offseason. AJB is one of the small handful of best receivers in football when he is right, but he's also coming off a relatively down season (he averaged his fewest yards per game since 2021) and turned 29 years old June 30, so we don't know if he'll be able to be at his best. Doubs, meanwhile, has always been a bit of a better player than his numbers suggest, because he's always been in such a crowded receiver room. These two guys should give Drake Maye a duo that can really win in the intermediate areas of the field, and Brown, if he rebounds, can win both short and long and create a ton of yardage after the catch. This is yet another new duo, but it could be very exciting. Waddle remains a big-play threat both on deep passes and in terms of creating yardage with the ball in his hands due to his speed. Sutton works best as an isolated X receiver on the outside. The duo gives Bo Nix a pair of wideouts who challenge defenses in markedly different ways, but who can work a lot of the same areas of the field nonetheless. Sean Payton and Davis Webb should have a lot of fun scheming them into position to succeed. Jefferson is coming off what qualifies as a down season for him, with "only" 84 catches for 1,048 yards and two scores. Addison missed time again and caught 42 passes for 610 yards and three touchdowns. They were both hamstrung by the quarterback play of J.J. McCarthy , Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer , though, and we know they have considerably more upside than what they showed last season. Jefferson remains one of the small handful of [... truncated ...]

Don't call it a comeback – These NFL players are primed to bounce back in 2026
“This is going to be my year.” It might be the most popular saying at the beginning of every year, as everyone wills themselves towards bigger and better. A cold, hard dose of reality tells us that isn’t always the case. In the NFL, every player walks into a new season believing it’ll be their best. The one that secures a huge contract. The one that puts them in the history books forever. Injuries, circumstances and more are bound to change that, impacting some more than others. Now it’s time for those players to rebound or bounce back. After all, Chumbawamba was right with its most famous lyrics. MORE: Nine second-year NFL players under pressure to step up after rough rookie seasons “I get knocked down, but I get up again.” And there are more than a few players ready to get up again in 2026. Here’s a look at some players primed to bounce back next season. OT Tytus Howard: Traded to Cleveland Browns (previous team: Houston Texans) CB Trent McDuffie: Traded to Los Angeles Rams (previous team: Kansas City Chiefs) RB David Montgomery: Traded to Houston Texans (previous team: Detroit Lions) WR DJ Moore: Traded to Buffalo Bills (previous team: Chicago Bears) OT Tytus Howard: Traded to Cleveland Browns (previous team: Houston Texans) OT Tytus Howard: Traded to Cleveland Browns (previous team: Houston Texans) CB Trent McDuffie: Traded to Los Angeles Rams (previous team: Kansas City Chiefs) RB David Montgomery: Traded to Houston Texans (previous team: Detroit Lions) WR DJ Moore: Traded to Buffalo Bills (previous team: Chicago Bears) The 2025 season was an exercise in Murphy’s Law for Smith and, essentially, anyone involved with the Las Vegas Raiders . The Raiders posted a 2-13 record in Smith's 15 starts and led the league with 17 interceptions, but let’s not forget the variables around him. Jakobi Meyers ? Traded. Brock Bowers ? Injured. Offensive line? Nonexistent. Chip Kelly? Fired. It would be an impossible task for any quarterback to find success in that situation. Smith’s numbers took a big hit across the board, but he is also only one season removed from a solid three-year run as the Seattle Seahawks ' starter. He totaled 4,320 passing yards in his final season in Seattle and completed 70.4% of passes, finishing the year with 10 wins. Now he returns to the Jets, who have never been a soft landing spot for any quarterback – including Smith after he was drafted by the organization in 2013. However, those aren’t the same Jets – at least on paper – this season. Smith will be surrounded by proven weapons in Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson in addition to premium draft picks Omar Cooper Jr. and Kenyon Sadiq . With a quality offensive line and a veteran coordinator in Frank Reich, Smith could easily bounce back in 2026. He might not lead the Jets to the “promised land” as Aaron Glenn suggested, but New York’s goal is to be a competent NFL team next season and Smith is more than capable of that. He’ll just have to hope that what happened in Vegas stays there. Pacheco is the perfect player for the Lions. He’s an angry runner who tries to punish the ground and the defender who stands in his way. He fights for every inch. He brings a physicality and attitude to every play that makes football purists fall in love. Yet the running back has dealt with his fair share of injuries over the years because of that style. A fractured fibula derailed his 2024 season and a knee injury complicated things in 2025. He still managed to play in 13 games, but he simply wasn't as effective: Pacheco finished with 462 rushing yards across 118 carries, one touchdown and averaged just 35.5 yards per game as part of the Chiefs’ backfield committee. Pacheco won’t be the RB1 in Detroit either, but his role is seemingly more defined. He steps into David Montgomery’s spot on the Lions’ depth chart after he was traded to the Houston Texans during free agency . While Dan Campbell told reporters on June 4 that Jahmyr Gibbs will be the “bell cow” for [... truncated ...]

Jakobi Meyers - Remains key factor in WR corps
sleeper-rotowire+2 stories · 30dSource unavailable
As the coming season approaches, Meyers is in line to maintain a key role in a Jacksonville WR corps that also features Brian Thomas, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter (knee), Paul Bretl of Jaguars Wire reports. In 16 regular-season games (seven with Las Vegas and nine with Jacksonville) in 2025, Meyers combined to record a 75/835/3 receiving line. After arriving via a Nov. 4 trade with the Raiders, the Jaguars show their commitment to Meyers by inking him to a three-year, $60 million deal in December that keeps him under contract with the team through the 2028 season. In his first full campaign with Jacksonville, Meyers will contend for WR targets with Thomas, Washington and Hunter, but even in that context the 29-year-old should see enough weekly volume to make a fantasy mark, notably in PPR formats

Jalen Nailor Was a Priority Free Agent for the Raiders and Could Be WR1
While building an offense around the number one overall pick that would eventually become quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the Las Vegas Raiders signed former Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor to a three-year, $35 million deal, and according to Raider Nation Radio host Q Myers, Nailor was precisely the player the team was targeting in free agency. In a disastrous 2025 season that saw primary receiver Jakobi Meyers dealt to the Jaguars and All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers miss five games and face limitations in several others, no Raiders player reached 700 receiving yards. Outside of Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty, Nailor's most significant competition is likely to come from the 5'9", 185-pound Tre Tucker, who led the team with 90 targets while playing 17 games in 2025. While acknowledging the vast talent disparity, some around the organization believe Nailor will be asked to do many of the things Jaxon Smith-Njigba did during new head coach Klint Kubiak's time in Seattle. With a clear path to becoming the number one receiver in what could soon become a significantly improved offense, Nailor is potentially being slept on as RotoBaller's dynasty WR86 and could become one of the better values in the later rounds of 2026 dynasty startups

Should Dynasty Managers Sell High on Jakobi Meyers Ahead of 2026?
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recorded 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games with the Jags. Meyers also signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with Jacksonville, cementing him as part of the team's plans going forward. Meyers has quietly been a highly consistent wide receiver in recent years, posting five consecutive seasons with at least 67 catches and 804 receiving yards. However, he now finds himself part of a crowded wide receiver depth chart in Jacksonville that also includes Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Meyers may be the highest-floor option of that bunch, but he also likely offers the most limited ceiling. If Thomas Jr. and Hunter can put together healthier seasons in 2026, Meyers may see his role shrink. As he enters his age-30 season, Meyers could profile as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers

Jalen Nailor Undervalued as the Raiders' Potential WR1?
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor signed a three-year, $35 million contract in free agency, leaving behind one of the league's most top-heavy receiver rooms in Minnesota for a wide-open one in Vegas. In his final season with the Vikings, Nailor led the team with four touchdown grabs and 15.3 yards per reception, making the most of a bad situation and flashing big play ability in a limited role. While the Raiders offense is expected to run through tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty in 2026 and beyond, Nailor needs to beat out only Tre Tucker and 2025 second-round pick Jack Bech for an every-down role in Klint Kubiak's play-action-heavy system. With Bowers fighting through injury for much of the year and ultimately missing five games, Tucker led the team with 696 receiving yards in 2025. However, Jakobi Meyers opened the year as the Raiders' primary receiver, helping to suppress individual production across the team. With Meyers now gone, there's a realistic path for one of Vegas' wideouts to reach 1,000 yards for the first time in their career, and with the highest financial commitment of the lot, Nailor should see every opportunity to be that guy. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR86, he's an under-considered asset who could provide usable depth to contending rosters
