Amari Cooper vs Jakobi Meyers: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Amari Cooper and Jakobi Meyers is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver put up 11.2 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Jakobi Meyers of the Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 8.6 in 16. A 2.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.6 points favors Amari Cooper, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Amari Cooper turned 95 targets into 782 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Jakobi Meyers converted 110 looks into 835 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Amari Cooper has his bye in Week 12, and Jakobi Meyers rests in Week 7. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
