| 0:00.0 | There are some players exploding right now in fantasy football and they're climbing up the rest of season rankings very fast. |
| 0:05.9 | So in this video, we'll break down these seven players who are rising the fastest right now before the playoffs begin. |
| 0:10.8 | And if they're on your team, you're in a pretty good spot. |
| 0:13.0 | And let's talk about one guy who's flying, in my opinion, completely under the radar, especially in terms of like mainstream and probably most of your friends, aren't thinking that Jaci Myers since he became a Jacksonville Jaguar traded from the Raiders, thank goodness |
| 0:24.8 | he got away from that environment. He's been fantastic. And that hit a nice crescendo, a peak this |
| 0:29.6 | past week when he went out there and he had six catches, 90 yards, a touchdown. It was a season |
| 0:34.2 | high performance for Jacobi Myers out there. And the thing that was very interesting about this game, right? He goes out. He has 18 fantasy points. This was the game that Brian Thomas Jr. returned from his high ankle sprain. The game where Jacobi Myers, if anything, should have saw less usage. But that wasn't the case at all because Brian Thomas came back and he was actually operating as the wide receiver three in this game up until Parker Washington got hurt. |
| 0:54.9 | Parker Washington left with a, I believe, leg, hip injury they were calling it. Even despite that, |
| 0:59.3 | Brian Thomas still only saw three targets, caught just two balls for 28 yards, only had |
| 1:03.7 | 3.8 fantasy points. Again, first game back from a high ankle sprain. Usually high ankle sprains |
| 1:09.0 | are going to linger for up to six to eight weeks. |
| 1:11.3 | So I'm not going to blame him completely here. He probably wasn't 100%. But it's pretty clear now that Brian Thomas isn't the same player and doesn't have the same trust in this new coaching staff or with his quarterback Trevor Lawrence this year. They didn't have a lot of chemistry last year. A lot of Brian Thomas breakout last year. Remember, it was with Mack Jones. And also as you can see right here,, Parker Washington hurt his hip in this game. And as of, as after he got hurt in that game, here's what happened. Parker Washington left the game midway through the second quarter, according to Ryan Heath on Twitter. From that point forward, Jacoby Myers saw commanding 24% target share in that contest and a season low 11% target share for Brian Thomas. By all accounts, based on what we |
| 1:46.4 | just saw in this past game and have seen for really the last three weeks since Jacobi Myers |
| 1:50.2 | has joined this team, he looks like Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. In week 13, Myers had a commanding |
| 1:55.0 | 26% target chair two times higher than any other wide receiver on the team. He ended up running |
| 2:00.1 | 30 of 32 routes, so 94% of the routes led the team as well. He was out there for basically every single snap, 92% of the snaps. He's looked really good while at the same time Brian Thomas in his first game back, 84% of the snap. So it's not like he was extremely limited, just a 13% target chair, just those three fantasy points like we talked about. |
| 2:20.8 | And at this point, he has played four games as the Jacksonville Jaguar. |
| 2:24.5 | But if he take out the game where he was traded midweek, clearly limited in the game, barely played and you just look at his three games as a full-time starter with the Jags. |
| 2:27.9 | Jacoby Myers has been very impressive. |
| 2:29.7 | In those three games, 15.9 fantasy points on six targets and 68 receiving yards per game. He has multiple touchdowns during this stretch as well. I mean, right now, he is ramping up at the perfect time. This Jaguar's offense looks good. In real life, they're fighting for the division, a playoff spot. Everything there is good vibes. And Jacoby Myers looks like a new wide receiver one. And as usual, with Jacoby Myers, zero drops since he's become a Jacksonville Jaguar. He's led the team in three out of their four games and really all three of his starts. He's led the team. He didn't have any drops last year. This is a guy who is extremely reliable. No wonder why Trevor Lawrence already likes him. Matchups this week and really two out of the next four weeks in real life are very important. So I expect them to lean on their stars which right now jacobby meyers is one of those, especially if Parker Washington is hurt. Matchups against the Colts and two out of the next four |
| 3:11.0 | weeks, that's important. Matchup against the Broncos for playoff seating, and then a nice matchup against the Jets as well as the fantasy playoffs begin. Jacoby Myers, to me, is a week in a week-out starter. he's a versatile wide receiver can go outside can go inside depending on matchup make sure he's in your |
| 3:23.7 | lineups he went from being a drop on the raiders like a month ago to now being a legit top 20 each week wide receiver. Next up, this is more of the obvious one in the video, probably the most obvious one, and it's Bucky Irving because he came back and despite maybe there being some concern about a limited role, we really didn't see that at all. Now, we saw it in some ways, and I'll talk about how things can only get better for Bucky Irving in a moment. |
