Should You Start or Sit Jakobi Meyers in Week 17?
There is next to no room for error for Jakobi Meyers. Early in the season, I was fine with betting on that profile because his aDOT was low enough to ensure some level of efficiency, even with below-average quarterback play, but that hasn’t been the case lately.
- Weeks 1-12: 8.9 aDOT
- Weeks 13-16: 13.2 aDOT
We know that the quality of the target is always going to be low, so I’m not interested in introducing the variance that comes with extending routes in the Vegas passing game.
Meyers is a good player but not good enough for me to trust him with the fate of my team, even in a plus matchup.
