The New England Patriots cut Cam Newton Tuesday, which paves the way for Mac Jones to start in his rookie season. While he's not a strong fantasy play, his pass-catchers could benefit, particularly Jakobi Meyers.
According to The Athletic's Jeff Howe, Meyers built a rapport with Newton and Jones during training camp and stood out as the Patriots' "most consistent" receiver.
NBC Sports' Tom Curran also seems confident that Meyers will have a big role in the upcoming season.
"Even with the additions of Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor, I’d still put my cash on Meyers being the most reliable and productive Patriots wideout in 2021," Curran wrote.
