What happened: Field Yates flagged Jakobi Meyers as a rising piece of Jacksonville's offense Friday. <a href='https://wire.report/article/jakobi-meyers-voices-confidence-ahead-of-season-opener-2026-09-10'>Meyers</a> is in his eighth NFL season after splitting 2025 between Las Vegas and Jacksonville.

Why it matters: That kind of role change matters because Meyers has built his value as a volume possession target rather than a frequent scorer. If Jacksonville keeps leaning on him, it would give the offense another experienced option as the regular season moves deeper into October.

What to watch: The next few game plans will show whether Meyers' usage is actually climbing or if this is a short-lived read on Jacksonville's passing game.
