For anyone currently immersed in fantasy football draft preparation, trying to gauge Jakobi Meyers’s fantasy football relevance in the Patriots’ offense can be a difficult task.
Bill Belichick even acknowledged earlier in training camp that “fantasy football doesn’t mean anything to me.”
But when it comes to Patriots wide receivers, it does appear that Meyers could have potential fantasy value this season.
Jakobi Meyers, who originally signed with the Patriots in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, has consistently outperformed everyone else on the team’s depth chart.
