Brian Thomas vs Jakobi Meyers: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Brian Thomas finished the 2025 season at 8.2 PPG over 14 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Jakobi Meyers clocked in at 8.6 across 16 appearances for the Jacksonville Jaguars. A 0.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Brian Thomas turned 91 targets into 707 yards and 2 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.
Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
